My username actually comes from my channel name on YT, which comes from UNDERTALE. I was really interested in Gaster9especially since seeing the Glitchtale rendition of him), and so I had that name pop up.

If I knew my channel would be predominantly Touhou and Minecraft, I would have chosen something else

Mazsaa was a play on my actual name to make a nickname, although these days I think my actual name is more suited as a nickname
Epinephrine is a synonym for adrenaline, and cooler sounding. I picked it because of me wanting a nickname that described how I played CS. I'd like to think it's adrenaline filled :)

best friends and I tend to give nicknames related to our lives. Mine is Destiny, since once, I thought I would never find someone there for me but it changed. I have three best friends now.
And the username 'Destinyly303' is a bit random. I decided to make it rhyme with number 3 as my favourite number. I might make a new username after this but for now, I'll stick with this.

My name synphonica is broken down to Syn - phonic -a
And why is that? This is because I was addicted to the word sin back in the day partly because it sounded good and also because it connotated to something malicious since after all that is what the word meant. However, sinphonica certainly does not look appealing so I decided to go with Syn-phonica with a y. After all, Syn and Sin are pronounced the same way. The phonic part is there since phonic in Latin roots means sound in which I was going for something like sinful or deathsound which is contradictory to my preference of music. But I mainly chose the word phonic since it sounded cool LOL. So now we have Synphonic... I looked at the name and I thought the word looked unfinished so i decided to add an a at the end making it Synphonica. If you read this you have a lot of time on your hands :D

LoL this came from Touhou project.

Akishizuha and Akiminoriko (秋静葉、秋穣子). They usually ranked lower than other popular characters in annual Touhou voting so they were also nicknamed "无人气姐妹". (It means no-popularity sisters?)

I don't like this - so I took the name and I tried to get high ranks in easier difficulties using all 4 mods. (this was from 9 years ago.) So people will see the name and they'll have some exposure. XD

I thought there's a difference between a username and an ingame username in this game just like steam. i was gonna put my name to SalveDragon. but i didnt know. i thought there's a difference between a username for login and the username ingame.

talking about how my username originate from. "SalveDragon" is my most frequently picked username for everything basically. its kind of a funny story actually, so my dad doesn't buy me games and such, so on my "minecraft kid" era i was looking for how to get minecraft for free, and then i stumble across this video (this guy was saying bullcrap stuffs for views) but the way he made the username to .....Dragon and then i was like... Hmmm SalveDragon sounds pretty cool. the salve came from my middle name which is Salvatore. (SALVatorE).

To be more specific, I really like Sugar. I made that my YouTube name more known as “mostlysugarstuff” and my Xbox was “Mostlysugarstff” my osu was made after those, so I shortened it to “Sugar” I randomly said “owo” and since sugar was taken, I put them both together. “Sugar_owo” is what I came up with. So yeah *^^*

i was gonna go with some username related to SAO, but i liked KISS more. and SAO kinda sucks.
now onto the more specific reason why i chose my username, i'm basically a rebel in some ways and my favorite member of KISS nickname was "the Fox". so i combined stuff and the result was "Rebel_Fox".

and i can call it 'twenty-six hundred' which i think it's really cool.
and also dream video game console that i want to collect is Atari 2600 so.. yea.

I have a 'Frangly', I have a '2600'

From the weapon "Vex Mythoclast" from Destiny. Since "Mythoclast" is to long imo I shortened it to "Mytho" and it also derivates a bit from "mythos" and "mythic".

Now if only german people can properly pronounce it because the ones I met until now couldn't...

One day when I was 9 or 10, I thought of a name and I was like... "woah. that's cool"
it's quite a fitting name cause i'm known to make people mad as eff, or alternatively, i get them "vexed" :)

my other user name, 240p, was a lot simpler of a name to come up with. It went something like this:

*watching youtube video*
what would be a cool name? I have no clue...
*clicks on quality panel*

An Elsword GM's name I think, found it ridiculously long but fancy so decided to steal it. That was almost 4 years ago and I barely play the game anymore so I don't really know how they are now. I stole the "Shururea" part only I think since I didn't wanna flat out steal the entire username. Might change it because it's still ridiculous. Oh, how I was as a child.

Atlas Corporation is a private mitary corporation (PMC) featured in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
The street where my house is is called Manuel Rodríguez.

Manuel "AtlaZ" Rodríguez -> Manuel "AtlaZ" Rodríguez

AtlaZ R :)

It occurred to me to combine them thanks to the fact that in addition to the fact that I was playing COD:AW at that time, I remembered the "Trash Boat" chapter of "Regular Show", in which one of the characters listens to someone who became famous by combining two phrases random.

My name originated from Undertale. At first my name was totally different (but i wasn't interested in osu! then so i guess i'll just leave it out) because i was interested in a other game before. I choose my names from the game characters i like. So, that said i really like the character Temmie so i choose the name of Temmie_Huumann (which i'll propobly change to Temmie_UwU since its shorter and i use it more) the huumann part came from my first profile picture i used which was temmie as well.. a human. So, i added "Huumann" into my name. The double u and n is just my being weird so yea.

I hope you enjoyed reading my weird explanation!

Good day!

for me I always wanted a weird name, an uncommon name sort of shit. So I combined different words with a spacing. pk and kkr as those were old names I couldnt pick. (if i could change it it would be sanaenae) I put toho in the name because I was a fan of touhou project. (I still am) And 999 is because cirno and also because 9 and three are my current tied favorite numbers. So with multiples of 3 I decided to do three 9's
