There is this anime movie that I really love called "Your Name" and in Japanese, it is called "Kimi no na wa". basically , I just inverted the letter m and w so it became "Kiwi no na ma" *tadaaaaa* (since kiminonawa is already taken by some lucky dude, tho i ain't complaining hehe)

TheAngryNerd101
I was coming up with ideas for what I was going to name my YouTube channel in the future when I was in 5th grade. I was originally going to name it DrRBXYMS (Lord knows what the hell all of those letters stood for) but then I thought that maybe it'd be a better idea to name myself something that fit my personality instead.
Eventually I decided to name myself TheAngryNerd, because it describes me very accurately. I used to ragequit in video games a lot and I was a huge nerd, and I still am. But at the time, I loved DrRBXYMS so much that I combined them into a monstrosity: DrRBXYMSTheAngryNerd. Also, I started watching AVGN a little while before this (He's the entire reason I wanted to make a channel in the first place lol, huge inspiration), and TheAngryNerd was way too similar to TheAngryVideoGameNerd so I just rolled with that horrible username for a while.
Around two years later in 7th grade, I found out that my school deleted my channel because I made it using my school account. Since I turned 13 later in the schoolyear, I decided to make a gmail account and make a new channel. I decided to finally let go of the DrRBXYMS and just be TheAngryNerd. It's been my username everywhere ever since... except that in some sites, the username was already taken, so I had to use something else. The end result was TheAngryNerd101. Why 101? Well it sounds kinda cool and has a nice feel to it and is a pleasant number to look at.
Golden
Once I got a good play or game and friends & I said that that game or play was "golden". And that's how I got it.

doram
Korean film genre
SS or Quit
My current name is pretty self explanatory but my first username was "KelinPorta" which looks like a real name but it actually means "Qué le importa" in Spanish. It basically means "None of your business" and I've been using it since I was very young in other games.
Kolmas
wtf
mine is from Finnish, it means the third
Potffin
My username is basically (pot)atoe mu(ffin). Yes It is absurd and it is a food crime which is why I chose this name.

DiarsAssad
When i was a kid, i regularly used Diars because my last name is Dias.

Then, when i growed up, i readed a book called ¨Agosto¨, who had a character that i liked called ¨Ibrahim Assad¨. Then i started using it online.

So, When i was creating my osu account, i tought: ¨both are good¨.

Kowozi
I've been waiting so long for someone to ask this and well to say the least I didn't expect it to happen in the osu! forums. But my online name has gone through so many changes it's hard to count so I'll just explain this time. I wanted something that sounded like an original word but spelled differently. This idea was inspired by my friend Kunaie which supposedly got THEIR username from Miraie hence the "aie" at the end I'm guessing but that's besides the point. Their name sounded like the word "Kunai" but was spelled differently. So I searched for hours looking for a word that I liked and then had to find a way to spell it with letters I found aesthetically pleasing and eventually I came to the name Kozi. Also if you're somehow wondering what word I ended up making my name off of it was "Cozy".
xGearhead
Stole it from some guy on css
whateverlul yt
as the name suggest its my Youtube channel
Kurboh
For Kurboh, it's basically Kuriboh with a missing I
But I'd much rather talk about my other name Radi. The username is short for Radion, which is my irl name, but with mixed up letters! The name Radi now has more meanings too as well, as a short name for Radiation (my fursona is green) or Radiator (giving warmth to others) or in my native language for the words "work" and "because"
It's got a lot of meaning to me ^^
codenameTOSTR
My original username on here, "directtides72", was my old Xbox gamertag. I ended up using that for everything. My new name, "codenameTOSTR", came from an abbreviation of my actual name. I came up with it during my freshman year of college back in 2020 when the pandemic was still new. It was how I would join my online lectures under the name "tostr". Idk why but I thought it was fun.
Kamele0n
Well
Whenever I laugh i just turn bright red
Sooo my friends started calling me chameleon
And my username is basically that, but in polish
spl1tr
i like the splittercore and extratone and speedcore genre

Name of my website. Obviously I don't spam or push it on people but if users are curious they can look into it.

My creative spin on guerilla online marketing :D

Of course my main objective in osu! is to click circles good
sxnshine2020
i really hate my username rn, but, i used to think changing vowels with an x was really nice, and so i chose a word i liked (sunshine), and then changed a vowel with an x, and then just added the year i did that username
fellipe345
I came up with it while registering on a mu online private server (that game was popular on 2007) when i was 5 on a cibercafe, then carried it over from game to game, but it is not my current username anymore. I haven't thought of changing it on here tho.
D1NO
deadass just a nickname irl
(Dino, pronounced Dee-no)
SupaV
I wanted to use Supa as a reference from a supermarket in GTA 3- Supa Save. Over time, I simply used SupaV because I usually use a ^v^ emoji beside it.
Dialect
MinNin - i love min min

Li Syaoran - from cardcaptor sakura

moondoogy - basically i was watching eureka seven and there was this guy named Moondoggie but i hate words ending in ie so i changed it to Moondoggy but i wanted to sound cool and hipster again so i changed it to Moondoogy and made it lowercase to sound cute
_Hades
One day I decided to come up with a nickname for myself and thought about it for a long time. At the time, I loved mythology and stuff like that. I thought, why not choose the name of Hades - the god of the underworld? That's how it happened.

ps funny story: I waited a very long time until the nickname Hades was released. The day before, I got very drunk, and when I woke up the next day, the nickname was already taken.

MEGASATAN AND DELIRIUM BEST BOSS FIGHTS.

THE BINDING OF ISAAC BEST GAME.

And now I am on this weeb circles game called osu! because I just enjoy clicking on round things :)
DM FOR MUTUAL
Mine came from a nickname derived from my middle name. I've been using it since I've been naming myself in video games. I added the 1 because "yoony" was already taken, but nowadays I feel like I use the name "yoony1" more than "yoony" overall.
Stomiks
Me and my friend back in grade school made names for eachother to use on the internet. We somehow got the name by combining the word stick and my real name. Now I use this username for almost every platform I sign onto.

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.

TideFlux
There is this insanely good HiveMC player named Raptide. I thought it sounded cool, so, for my cracked minecraft name, i ripped off the name Tide and searched for some cool words online, and i found Flux. After that, i just yeeted the two together and ended up with TideFlux which i used for my minecraft name. So, when i was signing up for osu, i decided to just use my minecraft username.

Gamesnake -> used snake here due to its behavior of wrapping its body into its prey, this is basically what I do with games I like lol

And the 7 is one of my favorite numbers

For some reason, I liked this name and I'm gonna use it alongside my other name
Snowvers
My original name was Raben, and that should be "Raven" but someone already have that name so I changed the "V" into "B" and that's how it became Raben. But I changed name to "FrostWraith" cause every time I choke I'm frustrated. Get it Frost-Wraith? Frustrate? Nah? Okay. Bye.
Not Boring
an admin was bullying a guy i was in a vc with and he named him boring and then he argued about it so he named him not boring to piss him further, then i unironically wanted him to feel better so i named myself not boring as well and later found out that it describes me completely differently than what i am and i just kept it as a way of saying that I AM boring just in a more fun and indirect way, this was 5 years ago and im still using the same user on discord
epic man 2
my username came from me trying to think of a ""unique"" name to use for my persona on osu but the original username i was going for at the time ("epic man") was already in use so i just went for epic man 2

it was supposed to be niko (referenced from the main character from a game called "oneshot") but it was already taken so i went with nico

"Fox" Comes from the fact that my favorite animal is the fox, "rish" is a random word I thought to add to "Fox" to have an available username.
Misao

Changed my username to Misao after a few people said I looked and acted like Misao from Lucky Star at the time. This was when I was younger, I was a maniac and quite clumsy tbh.
subroutebyte
To be honest, not quite sure. I wish I came up with something better at the time though. 😄

Wizzmane
There was this game called Soul Knight which I used to play a lot, and I used to play Wizard a lot since her 2nd skill is so good. My old usernames sounds so stupid so I need to change it the last time. I came up with wizmain (which is short for wizard main) but I had the great idea to change it to Wizzmane. Now I use this username in any game I play now
