AuraMaster42
My username came from the Aura Guardians in Pokemon. I just changed the Guardian to Master. Still have no clue where they 42 came from, maybe to make it flow better of something.

I used Nature Angel for like 6 years now

The progression: JepsonTheJaguar -> JepsonJaguar -> Jepson -> jpsn (my minecraft username and osu! name)

Old Nickname 2017-2020 - Eur-

I have ran out of ideas on this nickname.

New Nickname 2020-Present - Eye of Skadi

I've seen Skadi from Arknights a lot of times and it's been, my favorite Operator. If I hear her name "Skadi" it reminds me of
from DOTA 2.
Dundee
my name came from a spin off of plainrock124, but since i was a dumb 5th grader, i liked weird names, so there came theasianduck124. Although I do prefer duck127 or just duck now
soyasauce
I saw one of those “free money hack on steam” and the dude name was something... I can’t remember. But my mind last time read it as Volkan for some reason, and I decided to copy it and I have been using it ever since, had a few modifications like putting ‘NA’ at the beginning
_Hades
Hades -> mythology. God of death.
ClevelandsMyBro
idk, when i was at 8th grade i was a big fan of f-777 (i was playing geometry dash back then, f-777 was also really popular in the gd community). when i was going to school one day, i was like "hmm, what's a cool username??" f-777 was known for his fast tempo music. so i thought of a synonym of fast and came up with 'nitrous' but it was a bit hard to spell. so i changed up 'us' with 'z' because my name also starts with z.

23 was my favorite number. it was really just my absent number but it grew into something special.

so, Nitroz23, but where did the 'thereal...' came from? when i was making an osu! account, nitroz was taken! (yea guess who that is...) idk really remember if i tried nitroz or nitroz23, but in the end i put 'thereal...' infront of nitroz23. and here we are today.

The peak of my osu! career

god know what'll happen if i didn't put 23 in my username
Astrid Park
Mine is literally a real 'park', that I didn't know..

Slammed my face on a keyboard 4 years ago. That's how I come up with all my usernames.
Ohara
"Makinohara", i wanted to make it makinohara at first but it was taken so i decided to use ohara as my username
DeletedUser_11837957
Usually, when I talk to my friends my response to some of their statements was just 'Understandable'. Unfortunately, during this time the "Understandable, have a nice day" meme came into fruition, and so I've just said it was based off a dead meme since.

Now it's been my alias for just over a year now, along with my pfp/avatar, Hat Kid from A Hat In Time.

I usually go by TheName'sGregoryAndounuts everywhere else, but since I was going to be joining an EBA/Osu community I thought that I'd choose something more fitting. So I tried to think up a name for a new EBA member and well, this is the best I could do.

The reason why I asked this is that 10 days of inactivity doesn't count as necropost, and you out there answering me with things like that???????

geometryOs
my username came from my discord account's old pfp

there were these shapes on it, so my big brain thought "shapes = geometry"

i changed my pfp eventually, but i couldnt think of another name so it stuck

some shady dealer behind the gas station told me he'd think of a cool username if I gave him my ssn

Dialect
hahahahaha

honestly i dunno if i should revert back to MinNin or not, even tho i use Min for gds
ohm002
its the username i used since im born or first game ever played
Aphxemia
this name from my own mind. but this name is a joke. such as callings: Asep, Asepmia, Aksepmia, Aspekmia. broo wtf?

maybe I'll change my nick to a better one. such as "Unplayable". if I have money
Galaxy-
I like a lot the Galaxies, and GD from the game "Geometry Dash", one of the first games i've spent many time
KateNah
Once upon a time, while I was making a Google account, Google asked my name, I answered with "Kate"
Then asked my last name, I answered with "Nah" Cause I didn't want to say my last name to a robot.
I then started using KateNah for almost every sign ups.
ClevelandsMyBro
since i changed my name, i guess i have to post here again. yei

so, i play azur lane, and one of the shipgirls was USS Cleveland. Also i like her i guess.
The AL community calls her "Cleveaniki". i don't want to get into detail about that tho.
so, ClevelandsMyBro (it should've been ClevelandIsMyAniki but it won't fit D:)

What else do i need to write?
_ralsei
i just slapped an underscore in front of the name of my favorite deltarune character
Meanwhille
From spongebob , i thought it sounded nice but it was taken so i added an l to make it work so now it's my username everywhere
2hr
My original name was "OsuPhAnIx". Weird name, but around the time I created my account, I was an avid Geometry Dash player. My user on there was "GD Phanix" at the time, and I kind of just adopted the same sense.
ZXQ was the cause of me just mashing my keyboard when I had the opportunity to change my name. I don't regret this user though, so that's a plus.
IWasClone
It's supposed to be just "Clone"

an item in the game called Growtopia was able to make a duplicate of you, it was a ring.
I liked the item a lot and at that time I thought Clone would be a good name.
Also at the time I was creating a youtube channel I named it "Clown GT" (GT Standing for Growtopia)
but then when I thought about it more I changed it to "Clone GT"
Maybe Clown actually helped me think of Clone that's what I think.

Ofc by the time I made my name clone, almost in every game or social media the name was already taken.
So I just stuck with CloneGT for a while
and some other variations of the name like : CloneHD, CloneGT, IWasClone, CloneBlone, Qlone
Cerno
so there's this weapon in warframe called Cernos... and i thought the weapon looked cool...that's pretty much it lol

Inspired by the question from ztrot's interview on osu!talk: http://youtu.be/8COmLt0IBRs?t=54m38s
A bunch of times people will think of a username related to their childhood, whether they do it by intention or not. This is not always the case, however, some people chose theirs because they either liked the way it sounded or thought it was cool. Everyone is different, of course.


For me, I chose "drum drum" for a reason I don't entirely remember. But I believe it's based on my past fascination with drums of all sorts. When I was a child my grandmother bought me a cheap Indian drum which I loved a lot (and then it broke of course). Around middle school I had a Djembe drum that I loved to play a lot. And finally in High school my parents bought me an electric drum kit (which I never anymore use because it lacks a tom and doesn't sound that great). Now here I am playing Taiko on osu!, funny how life works.

I have a friend who showed me osu (This Guy) he had three a's at the beginning of his name. All my past usernames were cringe and I wanted something like this, but M's didn't look right next to each other, so I added some W's on the end :P

PorridgeBoss
From myself, you know I always eat porridge every morning, and that's why I named my account like this. I still use the power of porridge
phe
"- Simp -" was my first user because it's such a meme of a word.

I switched to Wataxei because every time I'm on a girls twitch live stream, people will end up noticing my name and I'd get bashed for my user lol. It wasn't a nice feeling.
Farfocele
My username is based from my username on one of my older laptops, It was Farfocelek, but it was taken so i took Farfocele.
flipswag_27
I had used this username years ago, I don't remember the exact reason but I thought people doing flips was filled with swag, and 27 was my lucky number

NerwinFFR
I got it from my old Steam username, and it is cringy and it sucks and i dont even know why i chose this name in the first place, but now i have to name all my accounts on rhythm games "ejgamer0129" because people wouldn't recognize me, and now im basically cursed with this name forever lol

mew (like a cat) + thie (domestic/home) = cat home
i go by mew/mews as my online name and i thought it was cute

High Fucc
this is what happens when your brain stops working when you want to think of something.
Foxi
From my full username, Fluffi Foxi. I think I used to go by White Fox, or Small Fox, but too much time has passed for me to remember.

I think my artist name is cooler: Magenta-Magic. It's inspired by my character's magic abilities and eyes that have a piercing tone of magenta, which intentionally contrast heavily with her color palette so that your eyes gravitate towards it.
qmin
ya know now that I think about it, I remember just trying to find a cool name that people can remember me by (because all of the other names I have used are pretty damn long and ugly) so I started going through some short names in my name change and I found this one. Little did I know that this was an app lmao.

idk It was very random
so yeah I came up with my current username

weird thing actually,

watched alot of mc yters back then > really liked antvenom > somehow got lonvom from it lol
KiddHusky
Oh fun question ^^, so in the myspace era, scenesters would add extra letters to words for flair. A word that was commonly used was "kidd", hence the first part of my name! The second part is because I relate to huskies; in which I'm overly emotional, dramatic, 'nd clingy, but big, soft, and cuddly!! ^^
Taikah
I've been through numerous usernames in my lifetime on the internet. Though the most recent one, I wanted to be called Tiger, course in a unique way.

Turns out that google translate was my best friend at the time because in Maori, they had a really cool way of saying Tiger
or ahem"Taika". If you searched just Taika however, you would come across the director from Moana and so smart thinking with my big IQ brain... added the "h" to the end of the name so it's silent and still pronounces the same.

At first I didn't like it, but it's grown on me and this is my favorite username to use by far.

SongJoon
well, mine is Song Joon. And basically, my name is Joon Song which is Korean, but I'm taking Mandarin courses right now, and everyone in class calls me Song Joon, not that good of a story but yh
Simon12
s12 because it looks cool in-game and it's short for Simon12, which was my former username
and - in front of that because s12 was already taken

Lionex220
I just liked lions and i thought adding "ex" would make it sound cool.

If Tiddy is taken, then I rotate - Right Tiddy, Left Tiddy, Whole Tiddy, Tiddies.

AngelicK0
AngelicK came from my obsession with playing healer classes in RPGs. I added the K bc Angelic was taken in most games and the name didnt quite ring. Added a 0 if AngelicK was still taken.

I like animals, so I googled feline animals and found fossa, I thought it looked nice. I just regret putting the 7w7 in there lol
Phantonym
Phantonym
A phantonym is a word that appears to mean one thing, but in fact means another. The term was coined by Jack Rosenthal in his 2009 article for the NY Times.
Quaze
i created my nickname after playing "Quake", but i back in osu, my nickname (VedG), was not very pleasant, so i buy support and change my really nick.

I really just thought of this username on the whim. It does sound like one of those "random generated names for games" website that gives dumb wacky usernames like "SoaringBird402".

My username is a just a popular command. Though I added the "2" because at the time when I created my account, CtrlAltDel was unavailable.
wowcake
It was 2015, at night, i was hungry, and asked my dad if he could buy something for me, then he came with a various-flavored cake, and when i looked at it, i was suprised, tried to taste it, my reaction was like "woah..", hence my name.

Iamn00bish
I hit top ten in my schools network for some kind of space invaders rip-off and I thought it would be funny that a noob was better than the 800 other people who had attempted the game. The name didn't age too well but I still think seeing someone with that sort of name crushing leaderboards is pretty funny. So let's hope I start crushing leaderboards!
Crysisters
People say i have the most memorable
name because it's 2 common words that i sandwiched together on a whim to find a username on the spot and it's been with me for 2 years
minatoec
6 years ago when I was obsessed with naruto, my favourite character was minato. So I just added toe after it cuz toe is funny word. The c comes from this old YouTube called gradeA underA. I just decided to stick a c after minatoe; leading to minatoec.
