ZeRoX
Most ppl in America continent use or know this cleaning product called Clorox, so one day I was joking about drinking clorox then I thought why not combining my nickname Blade-Zero and clorox then ZeRoX was born XDD **I thought about ZoRoX at some point too xp**

Iyarita
I saw this name on another site, liked it and decided to use it here.
-Line-
I was searching words in a dictionary, found antimatter and thought it was cool. Sadly the name was taken so i had to make a typo and ended up with antimater
Xubix95
Tbh when I created this username (I was 14 now I'm 18) I thought it sounds cool, like: "Wow, Xubix95 what a guy!" but now I hate this username but also no money for supporter.

no money = no support
no support = no chance to change username
no chance to change username = sad_pepe.png

i just really really like patchouli knowledge
SA ST
mine is just my real name SA ST = Simon Alexander Svensson Thunman
Zazzu
I was renting a house with a number of friends. One of the friends had a cat they called Simba. One day this friend decided to compare everyone in the house with Lion King characters and I was given Zazu which I liked. It was also a much better username than what I had been using for games up to that point so I switched.
Frangly2600
'Frang' is my nickname.
'Frankly' is a word.
Play with words and BOOM! 'Frangly'

'2600'?
My first student number was 13
My 7th Grade student number is 26
13*2=26
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'
uh! 'Frangly2600'
username is too long, man. next time find something shorter.
Mytho
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...

Vexxer232
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*
EUREKA! I GOT IT!

Shururearisumu
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.

It's just my real name ended with "Debeste" because I thought it was cool, you know, just the usual lame ign

lazymint
Well, my username is my old username on roblox.Its one letter off tho, my roblox username used to be "iazymint" (except the i was capitalized). So it was a fake L. And there u have it, lazymint
PentagonGlxy
since my favorite number is 5 and since a pentagon has 5 sides, and i like space, but literally do not go to space so that is where my name originated.
LuiselprraYT
Is like "im a kid with a super common and i just add a another thing with a YT in the end" and that think is prra idk why but im not changing my user name NEVER
vocaloid01
Hatsune Miku is really specially to me since I was 9 *this year was 2009* when I first heard her song! And when I first see her I was fall inlove with her *my first love* hahaha. that's why I have vocaloid01 as my username! ^w^ *by the way old hatsune miku model have really hot armpit! (because it looks sweaty specially on her music video Romeo and Cinderella)* hahaha *my first fetish too*
AtlaZ R
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.
akemiHomura
I used to love eddsworld
Axel
Its literally my name..
Luu

Temmie_Huumann
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!

Verymoth
I was picking a better name, since my old username is really cringe and weird. Since i joke myself as a furry at school, i just change it to Very and picked a random word after that... moth was the first thing it came to my mind XDD

I needed a name and just typed my own name then it was taken so I just added a random number

ShinRun
A better looking and sounding version of “XuanRuan”
Blue9485
My nickname comes from a book that I had read. But Blue was already taken so I chose BlueonPC.
haha i rolypoly
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

Your name sounds like a new secret weapon that cause mass genocide
natNatural413
I like the color green. I also used to be a huge Homestuck fan and the way their names were formatted was like "nameName" so I just rolled with it.
Fawcro
My first nickname is micro, but many people use that name. So, I combine my own name with micro. Now become "Fawcro32". 32 is my favorite number.
Danzh
One of my names has Dan in it so I originally went for Danzh but after a while I just got Bored of it so I changed it to Dazed lol
apxllo
One of my middle names is Apollo. I put the x in there cuz it looks cool
BeZ3t
My old nickname that I used in games was BerZ3t and when I joined osu I accidentaly typed BeZ3t instead of Berz3t, and I'm here 3 years later and every time I read my name I remeber this
Ansel G
name
cRyanic
My IGN is actually a combination of my name, the word "cryo" and the process of preserving body in a very low temperature environment, cryonic (I just found out about this tho🤣).
John Xina 727
im bad at osu so there you go
MasterJoshua456
My username came from Roblox.
Trey_old_5
It's my middle name soo yeah
Skin Stealer
Uh it came from my real name and I just thought adding Dark before it would seem cool and so it has stuck with me. Before I used EpicSean which once again was just because it seemed cool to me
Korrui
My favorite character from any game (and also my Smash main) is Corrin from Fire Emblem: Fates. Her Japanese name is Kamui romanized, so I just put the two together. Corrin, Kamui, Korrui! :D
mimilane
It's a part of my name , with some japanese stuff
Redish
I use this first in another site, and I liked it, so started using on other websites too. I just added a h in the end.
Chromathic_old
Well i like the word "Monochrome" so i took Chrome and and i wanted my name to sound more hmmm robotic or futuristic you can say? so i made it "Chromathic" the "Thic" can also be from thick.

Kind of inspired by "five" in Spanish.
MOTIVe_
i used to be a big danganronpa fan, so i made my name "motive" cuz i thought that was cool at the time
shyperson0
I don't really like speaking, so when I was making my twitter I went with shyperson, but it was taken so I put a 0 on it. I just copied it for osu!.

geiboi77
I never thought I would play this game seriously, so I gave my account a dumb name.



I then realised it costed money to change your name- it's ok tho
Woey fanboy
The repeating word in my username, "para", is short for the word "paracosm". A couple of years ago I stumbled across that word and I thought it fit me pretty well because I have a personal habit of creating alternate reality fantasies in my mind as a coping mechanism.

Wiki definition for paracosm: "A paracosm is a detailed imaginary world"

I have done it for the majority of my life, and because of that it became my favourite word (if you can even have one lol).

As for the 21, my favourite meme comes from the 'What is 9 + 10?' vine. So yeah that explains that.
MadBov
I was in elemtry school playing Pokémon and I had to choose a name it was my first time having to choose a username. It could only be 6 digets. So i chose MadBob the reason I did was becuase I thought Bob was a funny name and I needed to add alittle jazz to it so I just added Mad infront and I kept it ever since but sometimes I make a type and write MadBov so Thats my seconds name if MadBob is already taken.
DashingNights
from my minecraft username that originated from Skyfall or you might call it shooting stars. Shooting- dashing, stars- night in a starry sky
mahsuh
Back on black ops 3, me and my friend were trying to come up with a clan tag. I wanted something short and easy to remember but not something I had heard before, so i was thinking maybe there's a cool spanish word I could use. Thought of colors: verde, which went to mesa verde, which went to mesa which went to masa, and now someone took that name here, so I had to make it phonetic LOL
Mifune24
Mifune from an obscure video game character. I don't remember where the 24 came from.
Jazzy Panda
I like pandas and jazz.








Also I spent a long time getting to the bottom of this

lukem232
Mine is literally just my name with a few numbers after it. Although another name that I use commonly in video games originated from my xbox 360 generated name in 2016.
Borson
My friends called me "Boro"/"Borson" in school because of some funny Polish video to this day i really don't know what i have in common with this video. My friends don't know too xD

Here is funnier version of this Polish video
Neigdoig
Most of my family is Western European, and the name Nëïgsëndöïg Cöcülës (pronounced Neeg-sen-doyg Koh-kyu-uhls) is something I made up back in 2015. I'm an amateur musician who goes by this name (for those wondering, I mainly play guitar, been doing it for about 3 years).

The WorstPlayer
My name is Vanya/Ivan. I just add "iels" to my name.

Lowola
My user name was lollita- originally, based of lolita fashion because that stuff is so CUTE! Added an extra L cause I thought it looked better. Everyone called me 'Lola' and I kinda hated my user so I made it Lowola. Very cute, I like this one.
Leigh Leigh
My name is why people say The Power of Imagination, yeah as you might've guessed. I'm not good at making myself names, my name on Discord is literally "no name ideas ;(", would be cool if someone could come up with a good one.
shaadowz
i don't really have a good reason, when i was younger i went by jobro, then i was like "that's dumb" and thought shadow sounded cool, then i tacked a "z" on and plain old shadowz is taken on just about everything so i have to put something like "its" or "uh" before it and here we are : )
Thevaka
Thev is my real name, and Aka means red which is my favorite color/ online name so Thev + Aka = Thevaka
NekoTowel
I first went by Half a Towel, a translation of my Chinese internet name 半条毛巾. However I changed it to NekoTowel as I felt it goes more smooth.

Didn't thought of this before I made the name but now I realize: Towel rhymes with owl, and owls are pretty cool.
Joneer
Mine come from my childhood
Erikillo
When I was young I was small and, since "-illo" is a diminutive in Spanish and lil'Erik sounded weird it ended up being Erikillo
Hky Sigh
Current username- Kaerukero

I like Suwako Moriya from Touhou and shes a frog so yeah :)
Vexxer232
I'd like to think I've always been good at making usernames, but that's not always been the case. I've had some severe fuck ups, where this alias being one of the first good ones, aside from the stupid numbers at the end. When I make usernames now, I just think of something random and build off of it like a thought web, or I make a name based on something I'm watching or something I've thought about earlier in the day.
ValkoinenSiili
I got my username by just trying to get a 3 digit name by spamming diffrent keys on my keyboard lol
30minutetesti
my username is 30minutetesti bc I used to play a game called Brawl Stars and I wanted my username to be 30minutetesting but it could only fit 15 letters so I could only make it 30minutetesti.
