Wow, this thread is so popular! (OoO)
I guess i'll give it a try.

At first i was confused on what to decide my gaming name, but somehow i came up with an idea on using my Star-Sign (Leo) and Chinese Zodiac (Snake). The result was (as you see it on my Username) Leo-Cobra. (But somehow it can be turn into Leo-Cub)

Then i thought that the name's length wasn't long enough so i added "RM". Which i still don't know what's the real meaning of it up to now.
Thought it's kinda resemble my name and my old username. My friends usually called me "Ar", the same way you read the letter "R". The letter "M" was supposed to be an upside down "W", which is my last name's first letter. And my old username? ArWi (Read the "Wi" like you call that Wii game console!), that's it. (Yeah, it's kinda lame, i usually jokes with my old username. For example, "We're ready to play ARWI?" (yeah, i know, i made a joke that's a lot worse than that.) thought the original idea was to make my gaming name looks more cooler. (Which is SOOO LAME)

Welp, i guess that's the least i can explain. TL;DR, I'm really stupid at making good names :P

You wanted to use (Sailor) Mercury but it was already taken, so you made it more masculine.

Mine wasn't too creative, i originally used "Reisen", based off of Reisen the moon rabbit in touhou, however it made me feel uncomfortable since it made me feel like a roleplayer. so i gave the name for my japanese friend to do whatever he wanted with it. this is what he came up with.

My real name Nadhif and the amount of money I used on toys and stuff that made my mom agree "Fee"
Can also be rearranged to Nadeef in order to pronounce my real name with an extended "i"

This is silly, but I shared it. topkek
Not really creative, but I like to be called "Nad" as most English speaking person I've met calls me "Nad"

There was a game, Clive Barker's Jericho, I think. Xavier Jones was one of the members of Jericho Team. I finished the game and then created an osu! account, that was the first thing that came to my mind.

when i was grade 7 my friend and i decided to make OCs. he went with some name and i came up with AncientMU, thus my first name all the way up to october-ish when i got my first name change. The MU in AncientMU comes from the megaman starforce series, as in the main antagonist of the game afaik. And then i kinda regretted it so with my terribad quick thinking, i decided to name myself Anxient (my current name), because at the time, some japanese already took the name Ancient and right when i was about to name change it, some canadian took the name Ancient, so i sorta stuck with Anxient. Kinda got attached to this name tho and started using it everywhere, although ive been considering to change it to Anpan, yuniAnxi, etc.

2006 - 2014 = Maruck -> My first pet's name was "Maruck", so I used that name for online gaming.

2014 = Dezept -> How did I came up with that name? Well, that was the name I trolled people with. However, at some point I thought that Dezept is a pretty good name, so I changed my name from Maruck to Dezept.
still a better lovestory than twilight

Greetings, Dezept.
