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
to be honest i dont know
My nickname comes from a book that I had read. But Blue was already taken so I chose BlueonPC.
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

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.
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.
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
One of my middle names is Apollo. I put the x in there cuz it looks cool
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
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🤣).
im bad at osu so there you go
My username came from Roblox.
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
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! 
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.
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.

i used to be a big danganronpa fan, so i made my name "motive" cuz i thought that was cool at the time
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!.

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

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.

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.
from my minecraft username that originated from Skyfall or you might call it shooting stars. Shooting- dashing, stars- night in a starry sky
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
Mifune from an obscure video game character. I don't remember where the 24 came from.
I like pandas and jazz.
Also I spent a long time getting to the bottom of this

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.
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

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).
My name is Vanya/Ivan. I just add "iels" to my name.
Penguins of the Madagascar.
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.
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.
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 : )
Thev is my real name, and Aka means red which is my favorite color/ online name so Thev + Aka = Thevaka
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.

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
Current username- Kaerukero
I like Suwako Moriya from Touhou and shes a frog so yeah

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
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.
I hate this guy
I personally just hit random keys on my keyboard and came out with Qwat. But it needed something else, so I hit other random 2 letters and ended out with Qwatzm.
i stole it from a youtube video
Genji from the character genji takiya, but some people thinks it's from overwatch, that works too
Amaryllis, which is what I mainly use (couldn't do it here cause it was taken) I just got from looking up "cool flowers". I was watching a lot of JuniperGD when I made this name. It's pretty cool to me though, I'll definitely stick with it.
in 2009's i am wanted to play with skin in minecraft, i ddoesnt not have licence at this game and i had 2 ways to play with skin : change char.png or use other's nickname to play in non-license servers. Im started search any nickname's and skins, and my choice is omgout_sta. In registration osu must not to use "_" or others symbolic, and im just deleted this symbol and use this nickname now. I dont have money for changing this nickname for just "omgout"
I watched Angel Beats while hungry
a bottle of water called "Vittel" which was placed on my desk and an old top player "Vettel"
Sometime around 6 years ago I started going by “nature” wherever I could online. Not sure where it came from exactly, but I do love forests.
i just really love skulls, and i added the y because "skull" is already taken on basically every site that allows you to have a username. "skullyisthename" is used if "skully" was already taken.
I was looking through pictures of otters on Instagram and thought “look at dat otter!!” In a baby voice and just stuck with me.
Mine was from a mobile legends mage character named "Harith". I thought of using it as a username since I use that hero a lot.
I swim too much, so when I got supporter, I changed it.
"cytenox" is one of my OC's
"cytenox" is one of my OC's
I got on osu and I tried it
I typed some random letters in then added 69 at the end and it sounded cool so i stuck with it.
i just use this name in discord, and i lost my other account, so i put the name dumsiq"_ofc" only dumsiq before lose the other account
I have a friend and his name in valorant is Irene which he says is pronounced E-REN-EH. No matter what I tell him he doesn't listen so I named myself IryN pronounced EYE-REEN to spite him and his pepega brain.
Birth.
I just made up my own username from already existent names.
Nothing unique.

I wonder how many staff answers there are that haven't been edited in by OP, considering last edit is 7 years ago lol
I was learning japanese. Saw yashiro then thought. "is yahiro a word?" looked on random websites if it actually means something and it does? then I added kira because kira kira seems weird. and then turns out kira does mean something i think. and it kinda matches with how people describe me too so well it kind of checks out I guess. Thus the name yahiro kira was born

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.Nathanael wrote:

A Leopard who consumed a lot of Dark Energy.
Surreal, oh boy....Well, I was looking for a solid username to sue after switching from Goldenjacket as a kid lol. The first thought it my head was goldenjacket56, before I ended up jsut randomly coming up with the word Surreal. I guess it could have rooted from the fact my favorite style of art is Surrealism. I took away the ism, and ended up with Surreal more than likely.
I go by Keiger now, as I'm part-German, part Ukrainian, and Keiger just seemed like a p cool name that sort of sounded....German I guess? Idk I just thought it was kind of cool.

It was literally super random, i just tried to think of something cool inspired by Asian culture and religion.
"d" is the start of my first name, "peace" cuz my younger self thought it's unique and cool for some reason, also it kidda sounds like "defeat" so that's cool i guess
My middle name is crystal and I needed another word so since I'm a girl I guess I just chose goddess. It's my PS username also and I didn't feel like coming up with something new for my OSU account
