Where did your username come from?

[insert_name]

(insert interesting reason here)

[Red Shirt]

Spock was taken. Besides I thought Red Shirt just sounded more Kerbal.

[cubinator]

I've been playing with Rubik's cube since I was seven years old.

[Guest]

Because it's my first name, and then-GET THIS-my last initial!  So creative, right?  

[HoloYolo]

Changed it from Kaboom! Kaboom! cam from me not knowing what to put and HoloYolo because I am a little bit of an anime fan.

[stratvox]

I do a few things... one of which is professional musician, in particular a guitarist. My main guitar is a Stratocaster, and my main stage amp is a Vox. Hence... stratvox.

[max_creative]

My username is also my Minecraft username and some other stuff too. 

Where I came up with my Minecraft username, I do not know. 

And my real name is not max.

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

Well, I don't really know.  When I signed up for the forums, it just struck me.  Before this, I just used something with my initials in it.

[legoclone09]

It all began in 2009, when I made a LEGO account. I had to have Lego in it, and I was a huge fan of the Star Wars clone troopers at the time.

LEGO+Clone Troopers+2009=legoclone09

[Robotengineer]

I went through a lego Mindstorms phase a couple years back, left the stage but the username stuck. Haven't used it for anything new in a while.

[Adam White]

Mine came from the Family Guy cartoon )) Stewie Griffin )
and here its just my name

[pTrevTrevs]

It started several years ago when my friend created a "ghetto name generator". The idea is that you take the first letter of your last name, than the first syllable of your first name twice. I would claim that his generator has a 90% success rate (failure being the creation of a name that sounds to silly/stupid to use). 

Well, if it wasn't before, my first name is now known to everyone on the forum. And I've also stated where I live... Maybe I'm getting a little too carefree with Internet security...

[Megadeath]

I first saw mine as an end boss in a digimon game for PlayStation and thought it sounded badS.

Shortly after I learnt it first entered the English lexicon from Nuclear weapons development, describing their effects. Mega = million, of course. Also, that it was the name of a heavy metal band. That I don't like them was irrelevant.

I've used it for lots of games and related media since.

[Raven Industries]

I created my username by sitting in front of a computer for 15 minutes wondering what to use. Eventually I decided on KerbalSaver because that's something I always do, rescue kerbals. That and because I was tired of trying to think of a good username.

[Pixel of Life]

Back when Messenger was a thing (maybe like 7 or 8 years ago), I tried creating a Microsoft account with my last name (korhonen) but it was already taken so I had it suggest other usernames instead. One of the suggestions was "cpt_korhonen" and I picked that one.

Where's @Endersmens? I think it's kinda obvious anyway but still.

I'm here!  yes, created it as a minecraft screen name. Didn't really like it but it stuck. Kinda hard to pronounce, so I also accept Ender and Enders.  

[Nuke]

from a charming little feller named oppenheimer.

[insert_name]

I wonder where @Felbourn's name came from

[Mjp1050]

My initials, plus my previous home address. Nothing too special.

On the other hand, my Minecraft username is UnorthodoxKerbal. 

[Felbourn]

Fel is a demonic energy in a game I programmed. Bourn in a fantasy context means "originated from" so all together... I originate from demonic energy.

[Willbl3pic]

When I first got my Minecraft account in 2012, I wanted to make my username WillBLEpic, because my name is william, my last initials are BL, and I thought epic was a cool word. For some reason, the site didn't like it, so I added a three instead of the E. Willbl3pic. I now use it for everything. Before that, I used williambl. So original.

[Aozora7]

There is this indie game called Ring Runner, and one of the spaceships in it is called R5FC Aozora Nine. I thought it sounded cool, so I based my username off that.  

Aozora is blue sky in Japanese. 

[Im The One]

My name came from playing the Dayz mod on arma 2 to try and fool everyone when i was doing bandit stuff in the towns. Worked a few times when they tried to call me out over side chat and eventually confused them to the point where they didn't know who they were talking about anymore

[KAL 9000]

Not very creative... K (add K to everything rule) + HAL 9000 (HUGE Space Odyssey fan). But I like it.
