  2. Rgbunpro

    Rgbunpro Cosmos Killer

    Ok so this one is a bit long but...
    I'm a huge fan of eddsworld and I always liked how (At least before Tord left) there was a red one a green one and a blue one. Based somewhat on that and also on the RGB pixel arrangement of most computer screens at the time, I decided I would make a similar flash show about a band called the unprofessionals who were named "Red" "Green" and "Blue" and dressed in their respective colors. Obviously I never ever learned how to draw or animate with flash, so eventually the name just got shortened to Rgbunpro which was super original and not in use anywhere else.

  3. Combozone

    Combozone Existential Complex

    Ahh, Combozone.
    This name came from the early days of Dragonfable, almost when there was no story.
    Me, being my 7-year-old self, wanted to come up with a cool name that I hadn't heard before.
    I remember being really into chaining combos and such at the time, and for some reason I had an image of my paladin (in full green plate no less) being in the place called the "Combozone", where everything would hit twice and look really cool or something.
    My other main username, Zone1010, was just another name for the Combozone I think.
    It's been my username ever since on most things, and I still think it's fairly cool.

  4. AntiStoned

    AntiStoned Big Damn Hero

    My brother used to have the name of "Hyperstoned" and I was horrible at making names so I ended up with Antistoned. He changed it eventually, but I didn't. I only occasionally get stoner jokes.

  6. MilkCalf

    MilkCalf Supernova

    This is a bit embarrasing but I guess I'll share.
    I like milk and I used to like it a lot more before. A family member, probably my mom, commented on how I drank milk like a calf and started calling me 'maitovasikka'. It was easy to translate 'maito' into 'milk' and 'vasikka' into 'calf' and MilkCalf was formed.
    I now know that it's a stupid name, but It tells my tale and it's exclusive to me, so I'm still going to use it.

  9. Vilespring

    Vilespring Subatomic Cosmonaut

    My Xbox username was taken when I tried to activate my account. At the end of the suggestions, was VileSpring. I use a lowercase "S" because the name looks sleeker and less like two words smashed together.

  10. So, I think I've told this story before, but I don't really mind telling it again.
    Anyone remember a game called Nicktropolis? Crappy browser-based... Life simulator?
    Well, when I registered for that game, I wanted my name to be Pichu. But Pichu was taken, so it suggested Pichu162.
    Later, when I wanted to get an email address, my mom suggested I use the nickname my parents called me when I was a baby, Shooshy.
    Shooshy was taken, so I threw the 162 on the end. I've been using it for almost 10 years at this point.

  11. SterlingC

    SterlingC 2.7182818284590...

    My very first username, Mightyputty, was based off a product advertised famously by Billy Mays. I loved the guy back in the day.
    My most recent username, SterlingC, is basically a character I made from the MLP universe who shares my persona... well most of it (I'm... a brony. But I haven't watched MLP in a long time...)

  14. Arthanen

    Arthanen Void-Bound Voyager

    When I was just a little lad, I would always play MMORPGS with my craptop, and I could never found a name that wasn't taken, so one day, I just came up with Artharen, or Arthanen when I make an alternate character. So far it hasn't been taken in a single game, besides Guild Wars 2...

    I was making a starbound character, and I randomized my name and I got the name " BloodBinderYoton " and it kind of fit me. I've been with that name ever since.

  16. Danger100ish

    Danger100ish Tentacle Wrangler

    My sister created a Gaia Online account for me when I was 7 (I really didn't belong there, but I saw her posting on it frequently and wanted to join), and she made up the username Danger100. I later tried to create a youtube account, but Danger100 was taken so I added the ish. It stuck with me. I have Danger1000ish on a few websites where I made an account with my usual username then forgot the password.

  18. Mewbone

    Mewbone Phantasmal Quasar

    Mewtwo + Cubone

    The originality, I know.

    My first ever nickname online was dragonstar1220, since obviously dragonstar was taken, then it became rayman1220, which I currently only have left on minecraft and steam (though it displays as Rayman). Now a days I only use Mewbone and Zraid.

  19. Sh0elace

    Sh0elace Phantasmal Quasar

    I originally used the username creeperman11111 which I came up with when I was about 11, making my Minecraft account. I quickly regretted this and have used Sh0elace or variations ever since. This username came from my brother calling me shoelace for some reason and he still does. I changed the 'o' to a '0' to make it cooler but I don't 100% like it.
