Jaye
'dajayeway'
Back when I needed a cool name to suit me; at the time I was into dancing with a lot of kids in my neighbourhood, and one of them had a Youtube account called "TheANTONway", so I just copied it pretty much. and then just renamed to Jaye because it's simpler
RageMuffin
My name originated from when I was in Language Arts and I heard the word ragamuffin. I used to play Geometry Dash back then.
nikachu-
i dont remember mine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I sort of broke the rules coming up with the name “Canadian Baka”. I had another account I made agile ago. While playing on the account, I was playing multiplayer when I saw someone with the username “American Baka”. I thought this was hilarious but didn’t have the money for a name change, so silly ol’ Me went ahead and made a new account (back when the system was slightly less strict) and made an account called “Canadian Baka”. Luckily I was excused for multi accounting so I’m not banned. Yay!
Flashydeic
Being "original and just going to an original username gen" found out it wasnt taken
Onaliear

imabowen
My username is from my real name, I am very original.
six_killer18
2008-2009 I played this other game, Combat Arms. I was a kid, came up with this dumb name six_killer18, then stuck with it for all other games and other online stuff.

Killer was a cool thing to put in names for some reason, I put it in because it was a shooting game. "six" came out of nowhere, the under dash serves as a space, 18 is there just cause.

Keeping the name because of sentimental value above everything until I finally decide to drop it down the line (probably not very soon)
himiken
My other username was k2_____ (censoring it since it's my real name lol.) Found a 3 letter word that looks good (ded) and stuck a part of my old username there (KK, which is k2 or 2 Ks).

In other games, if that username is taken I'll just add a Z in there, resulting on dedzKK. If that's taken, then its dedKu for me after that idiotic MC in Boku no Hero Academia.
hinduinegi
Fight club, the book. The Narrator Hindu Inegi on unnecessary places and I kinda like it.

Hindu Inegi means Hindu Cow.
Narrator
My username came from what I do.

It just so happens that no one took Narrator, so I took it. Lucky me :D
YaoiMeFloi
I wanted to smurf on Titanfall PC, and wanted a stupid name to proc people when they saw me. Turns out I fell in love w/ the game again and kept playing under the same name <3
cheeseloaf
There's a bot in Discord called KawaiiBot. She has a command called +ship @userhere @userthere. My previous name was Syxte but when I shipped by name with KawaiiBot the result was Kawaxte. Now I can joke around by putting -xte in every good word or name such as osuxte or animexte.

clayton
my current username (zelda102) comes from a joke with my friend zelda101. we entered a duo tournament a while ago and confused everyone with our names

I'm changing back to my old name soon, though!
Jazz-Hands
Before I played osu standard, I downloaded osu to play osu mania. I always make sure to make my username sound cool for the game I'm on. so I thought what username describes a great osu mania player? jazz-hands came up to my mind because of a movie one of my teachers showed us about the history of jazz, and the people there were really great at playing the piano.
ThotSlayerOkabe
my name jeeeeef
Trobador
As a kid, I was an weird weeby dumbarse and even though I never really watched Naruto, I knew there was a character nicknamed "Sand Eater" or something (what's his name ? Gara or something ?). Now, weeb kid me thought "w0wzies!!11 that very cool ! i need make name that sound like this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And because I wanted to go all the way in my weebery because who the fuck knows, I wanted to add a Japanese word. I went for "stone". "stone" in French is "pierre". Now, a normal person would have simply used Google Translate, but the dumbass that I was didn't want an actual Japanese character and looked for another translator. I found one, but failed to realize all it did was translate the phonetics. So it gave me Pieru.

I hate this god damn name. osu! is the only place where I still use it because I don't wanna spend money for a name change.

Oh, and I actually found out when I started playing this game (for real) 6 months ago that "pieru" meant fucking "fart" in Finnish, so now everybody in Bancho thinks I'm Finn even though all I know about Finland is that they have saunas and alcohol. And murderous intent.
Cxerizo
farteater lol
keremaru

I wanted to call myself Kim, but, well... it was taken.

Doggebi
Just a random name lol
taru3119
mine was honestly based off a username i came up with 5 years ago when i was still little.
i regret it, but at least this one is less cancerous
Keos-
Came up with it 5 yrs ago (I was 11 and was a massive brony lmao) I regret it rn and I really want a name change but it's not like I have a credit card or paypal or anything to buy supporter or a namechange lol. I made a 2nd account named KkiM- since my nickname is Kim, found out the hard way that our souls are bound to a single account and so that account was banned after I started making 100+pp plays on a new accnt lol. I'll find a way to change out of Mane6... someday. :cry:
futabas
My best girl from Persona 5 lmao
Calamari
when I made my name for another forum years ago, 'comet' was already taken, so I added an 'i' at the end to make it unique
dunno why I chose 'i' instead of another vowel but yeah, the name stuck and now I use it for nearly everything
Vuelo Eluko

ZeroxPlaysOsu
When I was in 4th grade, me and my friend wanted to make youtube channels to play Minecraft. I had no idea what to call myself and my friend suggested me "Zerox" and I thought it sounded cool. I just added a few numbers to it, they changed a lot over the years until I settled on 029. I created my Osu account under the username ""Zerox029" but when I was playing multi, people were mistaking the 0 for an o so I decided to change my username and I picked ZeroxPlaysOsu. I still regret it to this day.
Eurocat
I like eurobeat and catgirls.
Eurocat :^)

Bloom
A few years back I created an Xbox live account and a random username was generated for me. I wanted to change my username to something better but I couldn't think of one, my free name change also expired.

One thing led to another and now I use this name on anything that uses a username. But I usually put my full name anyways if there's an option.

Apparently LumpBloom7 is completely unused on most services so I never have to worry about my name being used by another person.
J25_games
When i had a ps3 my username for that was j25828956093 or some shit so the first 3 digits became a part of me
-Aspiire-
eh its a nice word and just decided to add an extra "i"
Mazingerlaaa
Was actually from when I was 12, saw a shot of "mazinger" anime and had no clue what it was, had to choose an account name for a game called "blackshot" and since a picture of mazinger was near by I just thought why the hell not. Years later when I started osu I though again, why the hell not. Now it is commonly mistaken as coming from the zinger burger in kfc and I wanna change it lol.
techno3452
