_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.

AZAZEL BEST CHARACTER.

BRIMSTONE BEST OBJECT.

SACRIFICE ROOMS BEST ROOMS.

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.

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.

Randomly generated username when i was making a microsoft account. that was 4+ years ago. what.
Gamesnake7
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

"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

It all began when I was playing PS4 Need for Speed when I had the chicken profile. It's honestly kind of a bland name if you ask me.. Also don't ask why MrMcMikey (1-21) ain't there [they bullied me for playing a weeb game :( {ok I was joking lol}]...

I made my username around the mid-2010s for my second PSN account. My first PSN account name was "[My IRL Name]_Nuke". My brother came up with it for me and my name starts and ends with an N so it rhymes

When I was young, I've had always dreamed of having the username of "Cool_Boi" on all platforms, but they were ether taken or the ability to change my user was unavailable.
But has I got older, I realized how cringey "Cool_Boi" sounded, so I just used the "boi" part of the name, made the "o" a zero, and added an extra "i" at the end...

The rest is history...

Genysis420
My original username (Genesis) actually came from something I came up with on Xbox 360 when I was like 12 I think? 10 years later I still use it but use a "y" instead and 420 because its the 2nd funny number

Before i had my account i put Jarod2396 as my offline username, which is my osu
alt username on every game that i played. Then when I was creating my account thought the username "Jarod2396" is taken by my offline username without even trying it so i changed my username to "Jarodpog" instead. Not rlly fan of my username because of the dumb story but overtime, I kind of like it.

TGGD
I'm pretty sure during 2020 or 2021, I put words together to make a cool YT name in the future and got ThatGaming and the GD in my name stands for Geometry Dash because I thought that it be cool.

The only originated thing in my name is the GD part cause some popular GD youtubers use that in their username.

I also checked some YT channels to see if that username was being used cause why not.
