2017 I thought of something to go with my favorite animal a Jaguar

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

I've had so many usernames in the past tho :P

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!! ^^

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.
