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.

Kitsunemimi
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 belong a Guild in an online game called "Quaelum Circle"

I was thinking of my "Qua name" and I difficulty with it
I suddenly thought of Pokemons out of random and "Rayquaza" came out of my mind
I re-arranged it to "Quarayza" and fiddled around with the letters
thus, Quaraezha.

It came from the pokemon "Rayquaza"
I'm no Pokemon fan.

Kurowolfe
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. :D

Shiirn
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.

Bikko
http://user.chol.com/~dynamiteneon/00/2010w.jpg
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

i got my name from a friend at high school

friend: "hark, who goes there?"
me: "i thought my name was mark"
friend: "NO. you are hark now! >:D"
me: "D:"

and there you have it

i like it because it is short (occasionally too short to be a username on some websites) and easy to remember/type/pronounce

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.
Nocturna
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.

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.)
THE END.

Since I changed my username, I might as well explain it's meaning. It means unsolved crime in japanese(at least that's what the translate site said).

I wanted to name myself Mint or Minty or something like that because mint is my favorite flavor of ice cream :3 But it was taken, so I just went with Minty Gum. I'm a girly girl, so I just thought it sounded kind of cute xD
Nazeko
My nickname Why, from my real name Wynne, literally translated in japanese as Naze.
Then I came up on adding gender approach by putting -ko(子) suffix that means girl
Therefore roughly written as ナぜ子 (Nazeko)

Some are confused with the origin of my name, asking "does your name suggests you like cats? neko?"
that's true but I haven't thought of that neko stuff as my name.
hoihoisoi
It was a dark and stormy night. Seriously, it was, not kidding here, it was raining, how I remembered was because later that night there was a blackout.. I wondered to myself. What is the meaning of life. And so I'm like. I'll settle that problem after I install Gunz online.

So anyways, i installed it and registered on IjjI.com. At that time I was known as Buggy-sama from One piece as in that was my first username then. So I logged in and I was to choose a character name. Curses! Buggy-sama was taken. So I thought and thought and I came up with some other names which I cannot remember.

So after some attempts. I was like, lets go for something original. So I chose a single alphabet. 'H' at that time seemed very uncommonly used. So I decided to start with 'H'. If I'm not wrong I typed something like 'hahahaman' which was pretty stupid. So I deleted and the a. Then it came to me. "HaiHaiMan", damn, taken! I decided I want that kinda H and I sound.

So what do I do? Change the 'A'. to what!? I rethought my first name. 'hahahaha' and I thought, why not I make it sound like those anime laughter, you know those comedy anime women who holds up the fan and covers their mouth and go 'Hoooooooohohohohoho!'. So I added the o. 'Hoi' was created.

And so I tried 'Hoiiiiii' cause you needed at least 8 characters in your name. It was available, But it didn't look nice. Like the words were big to small and it was like only a one breath word as in you can say it straight and it comes out damn short. So I deleted the 'i's. So I decided to extend it to reach 8 letters. "HoiHoiHoi" It occured to me that it sounded repitative. So I thought about it. What if I changed the last 'H'. Then I was like. What letter. "HoiHoiBoy", "HoiHoiToy" and so call came to my mind. Then I recalled what I ate for dinner. "Fried fish with Soy sauce" And I was like. "Soy?"

"HoiHoiSoy" was created. I was very pleased. But then I thought. 'Soy it sounded retarded as in people would make fun of me. So I decided to change the Y to I. Thus creating 'HoiHoiSoi'. And then I started to play and blahhhh....Got my character to a pretty decent level and by then I was used to people asking me whether I was japanese or korean or something. So I was like. 'Huh....this name must be kinda different' Back then of course. Ever since then my username for many games have been HoiHoiSoi.

The reason why I decided to retain the name was because I used to write fanfictions back then with this username and I was known back then in some other forum I do not wish to speak off as it has been closed already.

And so the reason why my user name is HoiHoiSoi was because of the story. Also, this is just a rough interpratation as in the examples such as HoiHoiToy were made up cause I know it was something like that. The plot points are all here, some examples are made up just for story sake since I can't remember those name cause it was about 6 years back! Fish and soy sauce was real however, I know alot of you don't believe this part but I'm completely sure that's how the last syllabus was created. But overall this was how I got the name. The name I thought about the most when I was making characters back then. I had other names too, but now everything has turned to this one.
KoumeSh
"anzo" from the katakana characters of my name (anthony)
then "-nii" from taka-nii (which means brother, from seitokai yakuindomo)
HikaruAikawa
The name of an original character, made by my big sister (MayuAikawa).
f e a r
Sooten is a typo of Mai Otome
Copter-kun
Well. This is my origin. I was searching through 'rofl' because I was bored. Then, I found 'roflcopter'. I chose this name for almost every website for registration. I had to use different numbers for each website. In osu, I chose 46. Then I realized how my name sucked. Before. I got my supporter, hikari_eniza called me 'Copter-san' and I thought, 'hey this name looks good,' but rather than 'san' I decided to use 'kun.'
Flanster
First name was SonicXPS2 > I was into PS2 emulation and Sonic the Hedgehog > SonicX (the show) + PS2
But i changed it because i dont like PS2 emu or Sonic anymore so my new one is Lolicore Flandre > Im a huge lolicon which made me think of loli + core (I did not asosiate my name with the Lolicore music) and Flandre because i love her :>
Kamure
Well, this account used to be shared between my sister and I, so our interests were somewhere in the username.
I love chameleons, and she had the peace part.
The numbers are our lucky numbers, mine being 7 and hers 10.
But now it's all my account although she claims some of the time....

But ever since my partial involvement, I want to change it to Chamle-kun (cam-lay-koon).... but I know that my parents would think it's a waste. Wait until I get a job in a few months.

I regret adding numbers now!!!!
Punika
I actually called me once Naka, but I've later renamed in different communities, because I did not want any more be called Naka (which incidentally comes from a manga:) "Charming Junkie")
Kana is really only so because my girlfriends name Kaya and Kai xD oh man, that's really, really stupid: D

I change the name, however, constantly ... I currently call myself MurderdollPunika on



aaaah sorry for this crapy english... be gentle with me, I am a english noob... lol
AzureKikinak
Well got my name from two different places. Azure from .hack//SIGN which was the first anime I really liked, and Kikinak from an old PS one game called jade cocoon that I played to death. Kikinak was an awesome character whose only weakness was fire, and seeing Balmung of the Azure Sky made me think of him so thats why ^_^

wolfn
tl;dr: Last name and first initial.

When I was much younger I was starting up Diablo 2 (around 7-8 years old). My father had me use Wolfn so that I wouldn't spend too much time working on a username. I later abandoned the name for other stupid usernames you would come to expect from a child/preteen (RealBigBad, Bloody Bunny, neisan, ugh... etc.) Later I started wanting a more definite identity and chose Wolfn for it's simplicity, ease of pronunciation, and slight meaningfulness. Wolves in general are also a reoccurring theme for me due to my family name.
Micaela Mousiki
I used "Micaela" because is a variation of my middle name(Michelle).
And "Mousiki" is the greek translation of "Music" (Not that I speak greek), since I always wanted to study music.
Yup, my user name origin is BORING. :lol:
