Zeptinn
My name originates from my very first email that I made when I was around the age of 9. It's in Swedish and the translation is "big guy 1997", so it's a kinda embarrassing name. If (?) I get support Ill be changing it to Zeptinn which is a nickname I now more commonly use.
benjochito
Well, my username is basically a nickname my mother gave me when i was little, idk why but she called me benjochito once (my name is Benjamin) and i started using it as my username in videogames.
lenpai
My username? Just google it *lenny face
Hitorikko
Hitorikko = "Only son" in japanese.

I don't have siblings so yeah. :)
Mash
Maplestory
Courage
My name actually originated from my Playstation network account. I still use this name on Steam as well. However I don't have Playstation now because I sold it.
arviejhay
Well, when i was 10 years old, i saw this game and i wanted to play this.
But when i got to the register site, it said that put your username.
I didn't know what username is so. i know the word "name" so i put my real name. arviejhay
mijkolsmith
mijkolsmith stands for my name cause mijkol is pronounced as michael in dutch
nobody is actually called mijkol in the Netherlands
ayy lmao
LordRaika
oh a good thread to answer the common question on my username in osu....

"why Lord + Raika?"
Raika as my name, its everywhere ( on lots of forum, game id, character name and stuff )

and Lord, i remember now...
Maybe its since i play Ragnarok Online 7 years ago, my ONLY best character is LordKnight
being ALWAYS the top LordKnight with highest hp, critical and atk while leading whole guild to win a War of Emperium.
also known as the best Frenzy/Berserk type LordKnight >w< , always win 1v1 LK vs LK in Frenzy/Berserk.
People and friend on the guild always said "my lord, milord asdfasfda" smthg like that... ah its sooo nostalgic X_X

same goes to some of my friend that love Assassin Cross, having the name Cross on the username or X on them >w<
Lanturn
My favorite Pokémon. Plain and simple. This and sometimes adding "88" on the end (lucky number) has always been my name whenever Lanturn isn't available. That's why I was previously known as Lanturn88 on here. stupid Lanturn_old

From Neopets (my first online game), to the Nintendo Forums, to MMORPGs like Gate to Heavens/WoW, and every other website you can think of. I've always used Lanturn/Lanturn88


Also, if I ever made a female Character on an MMORPG or something, I'd use Lantina as the name for it. So I guess I kinda have this as an alias too.
Choco x Mint
FROM MY FAV ICE CREAM FLAVOR AND A MANGA MUNYAHAHAHA ( ・`ω・´)
Myxo

xxdeathx
^ and dkun shortened this name and made it his?

good-looking letters/characters as the main priority, then somehow it became a mixture of phase and face. pronounce it as you wish or call me Zahp or whatever, lol
troke
from s-Troke-
Kirinodere
Valkyrie. But with another rie because Valkyrie was taken ;_;
olivia272
My first name is Oliviya, but I 'westernized' it by removing the y. The numbers also bear a meaning.
Infernocash
I had a friend that I would game with a lot. When we first started he suggested our names match in some way. So he gave me Infernocash, and he would use Blazebucks. Been using this name for almost every game ever since.
AbsurdDive
i just happen to like ninjas... the reason why i added 1 and 4 to my name: "ninja" was already taken.. and the meaning of the number 14 in my country's lottery is "drunk" (i laughed when i realized that.. because i hardly get drunk...) lol

Think it like this, most letters can be replaced with numbers because they resemble them visually

that.. and.. i was out of ideas.. haha
plus i wanted to use a nickname that couldn't be misinterpreted (i used unnAMD in a couple of games..which led into people asking me in-game "are you an ADMIN?" in spanish ...believe me.. it happened a lot of times... even in games that the admin is clearly labled "ADMIN".....)
Gekido
My former username was "TheRageGamer" (because of my temper while playing osu seriously).
I just took the japanese word for "Rage" and got "激怒" (Gekido). But since someone already took the username "Gekido" I added "-kun"...
Cool story, bruh.

froggydojo
Back when I was 10 I was trying to think of a new username for Minecraft (it was 2010 :/) and I had a dream about a Dojo that trained frogs. My OTHER username, Stupid Frog Monster the 3rd, is a combination of about 3 to 4 different names. Frog, being froggydojo. Stupid coming from a story my cousin told me about a bird him and his friends called Guardian Stupid because it would always fall of off the branch it was perched on. Monster came from the picture I use on Steam. I'm not sure where the 3rd came from though, I'm only a 2nd in my family.

BeyondNero
My name is a Hunter X Hunter Manga spoiler Beyond Netero, son of Issac Netero, all i did was take the 'te' in netero and made it: Beyond Nero.
FadedLamp
I used to be in a clan on PSN called Faded and everyone was choosing really badass sounding names like Faded_Spirit, Faded_Hunter, Faded_Killa. So, me being me, I ruined the badassery of the roster and went for Faded_Lamp and everyone facepalmed and laughed at the same time. It kinda stuck and now I use it for almost everything.
Boomkin_old_1
i got my name from many different MMO's
O2MasterFX
Originally my username starts from GTA modding, called IMasterFX.
Then I played O2Jam, and a new username poped up on my head. Which is currently I'm using right now.
Zyakan
I smashed keys on an Al Bhed translator and thus Zyakan was born.
nein, wir sind die jäger
Recondito
When I was 9 years old, I had no idea about what does a "MMORPG" was, so my cousin showed me a game named "RuneScape" and Recondito in spanish means "Very hidden" so I used that name because I found something that was absolutely unknown for me.
I liked it, so I keep it nowadays (Got 6 years using it).
