My username comes from me being Weeb trash, nah I made this name cause every username was taken on consoles and stuff so just came up with broken Japanese also hilarious to hear people try and pronounce it.

LastExceed
I am obsessed with NoGameNoLife. My name is referring to the ixseeds (the ranking of the 16 species in dishboard), obviously pointing out immanity which is #16 (at least in the beginning). Immanity can't use magic but Sora and Shiro proved that even the weakest can outsmart everyone and reach to the top if you're dedicated enough, EXCEEDing what anyone thought was possible. (I also used "exceed" instead of "ixseed" because it was mis-translated like that in the light novels lol, and because it sounds better).

Smilli
"Smiley" has always been a part of my name. I don't really know the origin, but I have some iterations built from it. I wanted to become just Smiley in osu! community but apparently I can't claim the name from inactive user.
JeromeTT
An old friend of mine used to always call me Jerome (even though it actually wasn't my name :) ).

Don't ask me where the 'TT' comes from... i think i just plopped it on the end cos it looked nice.

I think I started learning Japanese 2 years ago and then in order to get rid of my old username in League i then took random Kana and combined them until i liked the outcome.

Turns out it misspelled the tsu in okoratsu and forgot the s but whatever i grew to like it.
An update to this, the misspelling did start to trigger me so i replaced the end of my username with something i made the same way as back then. Decided to keep the "oko" for guest diffs since ive been using it since 2014 like that.

I ran through all 2 kana combinations for the end of my username and picked the one i liked the most. So once more my username doesnt originate anywhere but a structural approach to combining syllables to make a decision, how boring.

Hey, at least it's not based on a captcha like mine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Easy. Pingu was my favorite cartoon show when I was a toddler. I've been using it since I was 10 years old.
HikaKao9
Young me (Give or take 5 years ago) thought it would be cool to name my username after my at the time favourite pairing.
Never let young you do things like these.
It haunts me to this very day, and i'd change it if I could but....
I mean, I'm still as lame as the name implies so I suppose... :'D
Eidea
Often times my go-to username happens to be taken, and in the event it does, I start changing it up.

Came up with this while registering for MAL and it's essentially a slight reconfiguration of a FFVIII character, Edea.

Ryuo
My username doesn't really originate from somewhere, but it sounded cool. I used to use the name DivideByZero before, but when that username was alreaxy taken, I slightly changed it. Over the time I just got used to my current name and use it everywhere i register. :)
Scrumbo BBingus
If anyone knows Vinesauce Vnny my username comes from him. He always makes silly names with an "o" sound or a "us" sound so i just made my own name out of that.

I don't think i'll have more. I wanted to stop at some points.
So it basically came from Final Fantasy XIII.
xeroll17
Well if i remember correctly it was from World of Warcraft, back in 2007? 2008? I was trying to have just Xero (Because I found it funny it sounded kinda like Zero , was young and stupid dont judge ok?) but it was taken. After a few minutes of figuring out clever names like Xeron, which again was taken, i stuck with Xeroll. And 17 is my "lucky number" so thats that. :)

Dargin
I used to be DragonX611 until someone called me Dargin.

My name DragonX611 came from the old style YouTube names, [Name (Capital letter) number between 1-9999]
I liked Dragons (i was 10), I thought X was a cool letter, and dr asgons breath fire and 611 used to be the fire emergency line, i think at least...
TheRandomMelon
One day I had to come up with a new username for some random account thing I can't remember now. I thought about one time I tried a watermelon, and my old username was "RandomStuff". So, I just randomly came up with "TheRandomMelon", and I've stuck with that name for the past 2 years.

O w l
I used to be a Legend of Zelda fan. My favorite dungeons were the water dungeons, I loved the name 'Lake Lanayru'. When I was making my summoner name for LoL, I was thinking, what name should I pick? Then I used Lanayurian because Lanayruian sounded a bit weird to me.
