DSC Posted November 4, 2020 DSC is actually indeed an acronym! I originally wanted to use the full name many many years ago in a mobile game, but decided to stay with the short version. I'll leave it to you to figure out what it is! 2 Share this post Link to post

Aurelius Posted November 4, 2020 When I was in my early teens, I thought ancient roman names were really cool (I had watched Gladiator multiple times and was reading the Emperor series by Conn Iggulden at the time), so I used Aurelius as part of a longer username. I ended up dropping all the other parts roughly 4 or 5 years ago and since then have only used Aurelius, mostly because my online friends are already used to the name. 4 Share this post Link to post

Andromeda Posted November 4, 2020 After using the same username (or variations of it) on every place of the Internet, I decided I wanted to pick a more generic one for a change. As a kid I used to love astronomy, so I picked the name of the most well-known galaxy (other than our own, of course). 6 Share this post Link to post
maxmanium Posted November 4, 2020 It's really dumb, I have this short memory of being so convinced that the word "maximum" was "maxmanium" and my dad correcting me. That's literally it, but I do like the sound of it. 4 Share this post Link to post

seed Posted November 4, 2020 Mine was originally different, but I changed it since I consider it belonging to a different stage, or period of my life if you will, and I never really was one to stick to a name for too long, unless it becomes important one way or another. Though I don't change them like socks either, and I try to make them representative of myself in some capacity, if ever so subtle. Current one is actually short for sinisterseed, and its primary goal was to be a reference to Katharsis (specifically their 666 (Hohelied der Wiedererweckung) song), which in itself alludes to my passion for extreme metal, morbid and dark things, and also the less glamorous side of existence. Yeah, it goes deeper than you'd think, purposefully so. 5 Share this post Link to post

spineapple tea Posted November 4, 2020 Well I was gonna name myself Nick after my actual name, but someone in like 2003 who signed up and never posted anything or logged in again took the name. So now I'm just N1ck like some edgy kid in Runescape. 2 Share this post Link to post

Mayomancer Posted November 4, 2020 First i was GhoulDesecrator, wich was a name i used in online games inspired by Altars of Madness from Morbid Angel. That was a bit similar do DesecratorJ, and started reminding me of Ghouls forest, so i switched to Mayomancer. My original twitch name was OldHydromancer (mocking the mtg card Young Pyromancer) but i switched to mayomancer after being mocked for putting mayo on pizza. 4 Share this post Link to post
MattFright Posted November 4, 2020 I used to have several different nicknames online as a kid, so i tried settling with one for every place (which i could also be happy with, unlike some previous ones), so i just said random words after my first name until they sounded cool together 2 Share this post Link to post
kalaeth Posted November 4, 2020 it's been my online name since at least 2000, most people, even IRL, know me by kalaeth, kal or k so.. I use it everywhere. Originally it came from a Tolkien fan-fiction I wrote at 14 or so, it's actually supposed to be a corruption of KalEdhel after centuries of usage by orcs (and KalEdhel means Elfic Shine). 4 Share this post Link to post
GraphicBleeder Posted November 4, 2020 Eh I don't really know, I just thought it sounded cool. I'll probably regret making this my username someday but for now, I don't really care. 1 Share this post Link to post
Kokoro Hane Posted November 4, 2020 My username is literally my pseudonym I use to credit myself in all my creative works. I came up with it back in 2010 when I drew a webmanga, and it actually references Princess Sakura from my favorite CLAMP manga, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. The first part, "Kokoro" is Japanese for "Heart" and the other, "Hane" means "Feather". So heart feather... in the manga, Sakura's heart (memories) was turned into feathers and scattered across dimensions, which Syaoran vows to find every piece of. 3 Share this post Link to post
Kool Belzero Posted November 4, 2020 My username doesn't have that big of an origin story. I originally used it as my character name on a bunch of Space Station 13 servers and was an evolution of my old username which was Koolboi 1 Share this post Link to post

TwinBeast Posted November 4, 2020 Wanted something gender neutral. Played around with the video game name generator, eventually it gave me Twin <something-I've-forgotten> Beast. Thought the Twin and Beast sounded good together. Doesn't come from Twin Peaks, like a lot of people have asked in a chat. 7 Share this post Link to post
