Foxrish_old
"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. 😄

ungsuhan
I have no idea
I created it almost 7 years ago when i was 3rd grade? i think. and i just kinda stuck with it until now. Very unique name ngl, not a very good one tho lmao
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

MrMcMikey22
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

As for how I came up with the name? I don't actually know, It just popped up in my head and I went along with it

If you look at this current username of mine and asked, I'm not so sure about its origin. Just thought out about that for fun.
Now I'm mostly being active on the Internet as 'Barnacl', it originates from an NPC in Half-Life game series 'Barnacle'.

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.
furry hater

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.

Beware of IGN that indicate racism. Your account will be restricted by ppy.

Tell that to this guy: users/12299095

I reported him months ago and he's still here, so racism in usernames probably needs to be more explicit.

I assume that they have no manners. If God wants to turn the tables right away, I want to see those racists being laughed at by their victims.

Mine username came from when I was younger since I always wanted to go and make a YouTube channel based off videogame and technology glitches for the Glitch part, Noodles because I ate ramen lunch noodles after school all the time I was younger
Vogelsen
When I was completely incompetent when it came to gaming my older brother created an account in a game for me and gave me the username "Vogelscheuche" (Scarecrow) telling me I looked like one. Thinking it was funny I just used it every time I could but as it's a single word it was always taken so I shortened it to "Vogelsen"
Indomi-chan
THETM came from tematikkp btw. So, one day, when I'm registering a Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune car, as it has a limit of 5 characters, I chose the name THETM.
Foxrish
My name isn't actually Felix, it was a name I liked back when I created my account. The "land" part came from me liking geography, which I still do to this day.
LonelyChimo
My friends started using random japanese names on teamspeak some years ago, i wanted to make fun of that by just using this "Whats your ninja name" generator thingy. But Chimozuki-kaari was too long to stay as my username. I started to like how Chimo sounds and thats that. Also i don't have any of these friends anymore so im lonely

when i was in high school i was in the school's football team but wasn't good enough to nail down a spot in the starting 11, so people started calling me the "bench" because i was always stuck on it.

afterwards when trying to come up with an interesting internet name, i paired it with another phonetically similar word that also describes what happens when i try to do anything, and ended up here
