When my little brother was 3 he used to call me ayey.
So.......

Nivalis comes from Latin language I found one day, originating from niv- "snow" + -alia "something associated in a particular area", so "Nivalis" is something related to snowy land.

...and, uh, because this name sounds usable, I use it.

Lanttu is the Finnish word for Brassica napobrassica.

Where I got this nickname is very long story, from my very early internet years with Pokémon. Back then I used a name that starting "La" and resembling the name of this yellow electric mouse, but when I started to grow too old for pocket monsters I decided to change my name to something simpler.

I don't remember where I got the idea for Lanttu, but since then it's been my official nickname, almost everyone calls me that IRL too. 8)

Err... maybe? I used Nivails only because this name seems unique and usable, I don't pay attention that much about other aspects.

Google it.

In my engineering school (I dunno if it's the proper name here) When you arrive the 1st year your seniors get you a nickname generally based on your name (generally word relating) OR something that happened.


So for my part, from my last name : Torin Taureau (Bull) Otoro Tuna Tuna Sushi Sushi

Liked it, kept it.

Ah. I have attained enlightenment.

First ever TF2 Scout achievement I got.

(The I is intentional btw...)

>___<' When I was little, I used to be very, very nice, and people began calling me good boy.

Once I turned about... Fifteen? They started calling me Good Guy. So, I use it!

Need for speed underground. I just randomly made my name backfire...cause of the cars. I think. People usually call me my more generic name, blackfire. And it makes me...so...mad.

You said to google it. I googled it. You didn't say google "Weegee".

My old user name was so generic, "Alex0686" but at the time I was younger and I didn't care.

One day out of boredom I drew a picture of a strawberry and made it my avatar, and the old #mod community started calling me "strawberry" or "strawberry-kun" and it stuck, not just for osu! either, made it my user name for other places...

Or that's how I remember it..?

"gunners" come from Arsenal FC , an England football club which often called "the gunners"
"forlife" comes from my friends username who uses "xxxxxxxforlife", and i like it, and I attached it to my username..

come from Masha Mysmane, from Exilia.

I love this band.

I used to own a 1996 Honda EF that I built with a B18a1 and turbo charged it. Thus the name. I love my GTR now though.

One of the first players I got immensely attached to when I started watching European football in 1999. I was inspired by this player a lot as a footballer, and decided I would make a username out of it.

OMG ,that's polish guy <3

Bwahaha, I can now make another post in this thread since I changed my name!! And so far some people are saying it's bad, some like it a bit, so ._.

Anyways, Kitsunemimi -> Kitsune + mimi

Kitsune being fox in Japanese (random obsession of foxes in the past while), and mimi literally meaning ears. So that makes it literally, 'fox ears' but as many of you may know, 'nekomimi' can mean 'catgirl' (so can all other animal + ear combinations; kemonomimi). And thus, my name actually means 'foxgirl'-- wait wha..

For people wondering "WHYYY WOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME?!?!" I'll just paste a bit of what I wrote earlier here just to explain the basic reasoning behind this.

I've been starting to use 'Kitsunemimi' as a username more and more lately, and I figured, of all the places where to use it, I think osu! would be one of them.

I was downloading something from Megaupload and I got C-X-U as a confirmation code. Used it ever since for some reason.

Yes, my name is elsewhere on the Internet.
The first time I used it was on another multiplayer game, and when I joined the game, it would say, "those has entered the lobby".
And that's kinda grammatically incorrect, so I used it from then on.

DJ - For being a DJ, more of a controllerist now, the DJ came a few years later
Knite - Named after Suge Knight (Producer, I was in the rap scene back when I made my name)
X - the first letter of my last name.

DjKniteX

I found this name in 6th trade, 2003-2004ish, then added the DJ in 2006 when I became interesting in DJing

It was first Knite X, then eventually DJ Knite X

I created an account on the Nintendo forums like 5-6 years ago and couldn't really think of a name so I just thought of my nickname, JJ, and some adjective which is rocks so now it's jjrocks.

Verb, mah boi.

.....dang it you're right I think it's time to actually pay attention in english class

In a game called rumble fighters on my second account my first name was Under9000. One day I was like hey, that's too long of a name. /look for random 4 letter name. came up with Soba. some prick stole Soba in this game ;-; so I added - and - to it.

unsuccessful boat


don't know why

In my case, I wanted to find a name that has the letters 'k', 'r' and 'h' coz I think a name with these three letters is nice to pronounce.

Then, in 2003, I was exposed to the Japanese language and one of the first words that I've heard is 'kuro'. At the same time also, I saw one of my friends writing down her online nickname 'time hacker'. Things clicked together in my head and the name kurohacker emerged.

...Unfortunately, since I was a baka at that time, I spelled my name wrongly and used 'korohacker' instead coz I honestly thought that black in Japanese is koro (I never actually saw the word in writing, and I've misheard). Only after 4 years did I found out that I've been using the incorrect spelling all along /orz.

Realizing my mistake, I've changed the spelling to kurohacker, and that is what I am known in the net for four years now.

Part of my name. Also happens to be the name I'm called by my friends, so it stuck.

Shortcut from DjUmywalka (Umywalka and Zlew in polish is the same).

Arne is my second name.
Arne439 was given to me by youtube, because Arne was already taken.

Corin is my real name, corin12355 is my username for everything, it's exsited with me since i was 9 or so :3 maybe older.

I wrote a short story (It was still like 12 pages on word) when I was about roughly 10, and one of the characters was named Shiirn. It was an absurdly depressing story that made one of my friends at the time start crying ;_;. I lost the original copy but I remember the basic story... For some reason the name stuck with me throughout my life, and it quickly became my handle for all of my online ventures. The fact that it was magniloquent and strange meant it was unlikely to be taken, which helped immensely.

The name I gave myself

I picked the first 2 letters from my full name "MI... AN... KI..."
And that's it

My friend rippid my shirt accidentally at school and laughed because i had big boobs. And that's it.
Teta = Boobs.
And i'm a boy.
You can all laugh.

My username was randomly generated. And it just kind of stuck

if you watched family guy the episode when stewie said that the name which starts with "X" sounds cool, and came from an expensive rich family....

so i thought of getting something with X.. and found this ahha

viewtopic.php?f=75&t=46247&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=Bikko

Bikko is a character what was created by Yohsida On. At 2004 spring, A doujin comic book 'Kesson Shoujo'(It's mean is 'broken girl' or 'impaired girl' in japanese) was released. She is a main character of this book.

She is a poor girl who has disability, lost her right eye and left leg by car accident. She looks like 16 years old. Right eye has keloid. White hair and blue eye(well, but even creator does not follow this profile and draw her eye green sometimes.) is by stress bleach but she does not give a shit. never have been use drug thing. No wirst scar(I could not translate this sentence as well, It means 'Never have been try self-injury and suicide maybe). She is a heavy smoker and playing in band guitarist and Vocal. and She is a hooker for living. She loves to drink, enjoy to eat, and always smiling brightly.

Basically, 'Bikko' is a common word what means 'lame' or 'mismatched fair' in japanese. but Yoshida On does not want this character beeing spotlighted, so her name has very abnormal form in japanese. 'ビっ子' Katakana + Hiragana + Chinese character. and Yoshida On never wrote her name with alphabet. so, It can not be hitting in search site accidentally if someone dosen't know her name exactly. however, I don't know why, resultingly, this character became known in other country. and now, you can find her image and profile easily. just type 'Bikko' in google.

BTW, There was a discussion about this character in korea. "Bikko was created for impaired fetish" was an issue. Acrotomophilia or something? but Yoshida On spoke his mind cleary when this character was released. He made this character for who lives cool and nice even their disability. Maybe He worried about this kind of issue so he hiding his character.

I knew this character in 2008. I saw a image of this character accidentally and shocked, but I understood after read her profile and Yoshida On's writing. It made me a fan. and I always use 'Bikko' when I make my ID and account thing. actually, I don't have my left eye sight. I lost it by accident while I'm in military. some my friend give me a joke for this, but I don't like it.

There are some fan of this character, but I'm pretty sure. No one read Comic book Also I didn't. because of they are veeery unique. As far as I know there are only 2 or 3 hundreds copys in japan, and no scan. second and third book was released but I couldn't get it. and there is one thing makes me crazy. there is a hentai manga team what has same name with 'Kesson Shoujo'. So, do not confusing

"those has entered the room" is grammatically incorrect, and that's hilarious.

At least I don't have to worry about forgetting my account name in the future, only the password...

Known as シノ in pixiv.
Shino drew may touhou fan comics and now drawing Madoka Magica(especially Mami).
The character in my signature is Shino's self character. (I really like her)
If you know this one.... nah.

Sadly, Shino is man in real.

i like it because it is short (occasionally too short to be a username on some websites) and easy to remember/type/pronounce
i also couldn't be bothered thinking up a new one XD

my name and my surname was so lovable so i shorted it for osu! and youtube.. and everywhere else.
And because I joined internet when I was like.. 8 years old? The name has always been theowest everywhere. So there's no stupid name like coolboy95 I'll regret.

My first osu! username should be obvious. Thing is, I never watched Trigun.

My current username on the other hand is a mix of a few things. Yellowtail is an Australian wine. So yeah, those of you that drink it, think of me, okay? *shot*

Swiftwolf, on the other hand, is a combo of my unusually fast walking speed and a half of my fursona's species. The other is the same as the first part of the post above this one... but that's unimportant.

My username comes from a character you must never know because I am not---*slapped*

Yeah, my username comes from my own Touhou Character called Gezoda. (which is my first osu! username, I've been using it for one year. Almost.) Dunno why I chose it, maybe because it sounds cool. The _Gezo_ thing is because of the "da" meaning (I'm not sure) "this is" in japanese, plus people are used to call me Gezo. The underscores are here because it was _LRJ_'s original idea. Dunno when he gave the idea precisely but it was in late december 2010.

I once hacked an account and the username was "zaokii" on a completely unrelated website that none of you need to know about.
I pretended to be the original owner of the account and the name stuck.

My name comes from Ghost in the Shell. I didn't realize that it was from an anime until much later on though. However, soon after watching Seitokai no Ichizon, I fell in love with the council president, Kurimu. Hence, my avatar.

I fail epically, therefore my name is EpicFailure.

I picked ten tiles out of a bag of Scrabble Tiles, and I got S, P, I, I, X, U, N, E, A, and T. I scrambled them until I got something with actual pronounciation (Eh•Soo•Puh•Nii•Ticks or, if speaking fast, Eh•Soo•Puh•Nii•Dix). It has no implied meaning and is a pure phonics scramble.

It was this or UltimateFantasticDragonSlayerOfTheWhiteKnightsWithRagingFury848573284583, I flipped a coin and Vext won.

Fried Rice
but it can also sound like Fried Noodles in Cantonese :/

i think i already posted here but,

My name originally is from a character from Bioshock, SanderCohen
then i got into taiko, aaaand the sound of a taiko drum apparently is Don, so i renamed to Sander-Don :3

The origin of my username:
Well,I was thinking(hardly) of what username will I enter(and i cant think of any good usernames), so I just copied my o2jam username(o2gangster), and changed "o2" into "osu_"(i thought putting spaces in usernames is not allowed, so there is an underscore there.)
