What is the origin of your username? by cinammoncroc000 July 3, 2014 at 8:07 PM UTC
I tend to ask this a lot in AMAs and stuff because I like hearing stories :)Anyways :3
One day, young cinammoncroc000 found a website called CLUB PENGUIN and it was literally THE COOLEST THING back then so I decided to make an account. Now me, being the young, un-creative kid that I was, found two things around me (the Crocs that I was wearing and the Cinnamon Rolls in my mouth) and combined them to make MY USERNAME. The unfortunate part was that I spent at least 4 minutes trying to figure out how to spell "Cinnamon" so I ended up spelling it wrong.
Oh, and the 000 has no meaning, the login thingy said "you should use numbers!" and I was like "k."
After that I proceeded to carry this username through every single game and login thing I used, including Minecraft.
That's basically my story 0_o
Tell yours? :3

fazer153 July 3, 2014 at 8:07 PM UTC
I just thought of something cool when i made an account for RuneScape.I had no idea that fazer was a real name :o
And that it was one of the most famous chocolate production companies in the world (i think, don't count me on that one)
I added 153 because fazer was already taken.

School gave me an account and made me use my real name :Pgoldenwalrus909 July 3, 2014 at 8:07 PM UTC
That's a cool way to make up a username xDMine came from me making a username in honor or my best friend. Before I moved decently far away, he showed me minecraft and I really like it. I then decided to make an account and was wondering what name I should give it. I remember that his favorite animal is a walrus, so I definitely wanted to add that in there because I also like animals and it's a good noun for a username. Then, to give my username some personality, I put "golden" before it because I really loved my friend. I hate gold, though xD. Anyways, then I put 909 after all of that because my sister always used that number combination in her usernames and I would like my username to have a wrap-up to it.
There ya go, I'd really like to hear more stories! :D

San_David July 3, 2014 at 10:07 PM UTC
My middle name + -an (was something random) + my age when I created the account. :DWhen I get the chance, I'll be changing it to San_David. "San" means 'saint' in Spanish, and my middle namesake comes from my Uncle Davey, who died from Lou Gehrig's Disease... so, basically 'Saint David.'

DoctaPop ---> Was gonna be a shared account with my friends. Docta was the start as most of my friends show interest in being Doctors and similar jobs when they got older, and Pop because it relates to my old account. They all got their own account half a week later and I change the password so it is just mine.MLGtino July 4, 2014 at 1:07 AM UTC
3rd grade backstory:I loved The Creatures.
They used the word "MLG" a lot and I was like "SO COOL :D".
And in third grade my friends have me the nickname "Tino" from my last name.
Then I bought Minecraft and was like "MLG + Tino OMFG THIS'LL BE THE BEST ACCOUNT EVER!"
Here I am now .-.

Ever watched Madagascar? It's a movie. The Fossa are wild cat dog hybrids.Princezz_Dubstep July 4, 2014 at 1:07 AM UTC
I was in the car with my mum driving back from the store (when I purchased Minecraft :P), and as usual I was listening to Dubstep while thinking what my Minecraft Name should be... I set up my account, and It was time for my name.. I originally was going to do "xXEnderGirlXx", but so many names are common like that. I always listen to Dubstep when I play on my Xbox, so I wanted to do something with "Dubstep" in it, because I love Dubstep ^-^ One problem... I sounded like a guy.. I needed to add something to make it "girly", and unique. So I thought of Princezz, and that's how I got my IGN.Long story short, my mum thought of the name, as I came up with the idea. ;P

It was a whim of thought. I thought of my favorite sushi, and BOOM! The 9 was not my choice it was already taken. If I ever find the person who took my original username I will find you and kill you.Also I'm changing my name in the 1.8 update to something else.

Yass :D Frosted's LONG Story Time! Alrighty, Here Goes:Soo... It all started with a Youtube channel name. Me and two of my friends who are siblings became obsessed with Kawaii, Polymer clay, crafting and stuff like that. My two friends started a Youtube channel and me being me.. Hates being left out so I decided to make one. During that time I remember getting a cupcake maker thing.. So I would bake all day long.. Cupcakes preferably (sometimes muffins). I got stuck when it came to the channel name.. Since this stuff was like kawaii, I needed the name to be "cute" and yeahh.. I remember my first idea being Sweet... something. But that didn't work out very well. So I kept thinking and thinking, I had finally come up with a name: this happened because I made a batch of cupcakes and was too lazy to frost them.. So I was eating cupcakes and realized "OMG!" FrostedCupcakes! Yeah.. I didn't like the S.. So I changed it to a Z because I thought it would fit better.. Turns out the name was taken (grr).. I came up TheCupcakeHugger (odd right?) Aweh how I remember those times! Don't try to find me I've deleted the channel. But yeah.. I had just gotten my MacBook Pro, I used to play Minecraft Pocket Edition and soon realized that I loved Minecraft! I finally persuaded my dad to get me Minecraft. I had the name reserved because I set an account up with that name.. It was like the best idea ever.. Yeah! Thats my long story. Yay!
TheOpAmerican July 4, 2014 at 5:07 AM UTC
It all started 2 years ago when I was a little sixth grader...My friend named Max introduced me to this block game called minecraft, and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. My mom wouldn't let me buy it so I downloaded cracked minecraft and eventually scraped up enough money to buy my own account. Through the excitement of creating my minecraft account, I could not come up with a good name, so I decided to use my nickname, Jake, and my last name, Sandobal. so yeah, that's my boring name story :p:

Kammy878.... people say its a girl name, but this will proove them wrong. I am a boy by the way. kammy is a childhood nickname which originated from kamran (this is pronounced differently in my language and is a boy only name in the pakistani culture and urdu language.) Then my mom came up with kammy aka kami, but i spell it kammy which is also pronounced differently. I wanted my username to be unique so instead of making som unoriginal name like minemaster or some other sort of name like that, i chose kammy for my runescape account and at that time my older brother still played runescape and his name was Dawood (his name) 878 and it became like a brotherly tradition that all 3 of us brothers now use. i dont know why my older brother chose 878... maybe there is a secret reason......

Storm997 July 4, 2014 at 3:07 PM UTC
I had always liked the idea of storms and lightning, so I just figured I'd call myself storm. Then, When that name was taken on every website ever, I think I just mashed keys on a keyboard and got 997. It's kind of grown on me, and to this day if I find a website where the name "Storm" isn't taken, I'll still be Storm997.Lawl July 4, 2014 at 4:07 PM UTC

Mine was from Dragon Quest 9. Celestrians were a race of warrior angels that watched over humans and were unable to destroy or fight against their mentors. I just had to pick some random numbers after it so I picked 572. Oh and it's also named after my youtube channel but I got rid of all my old videos since they were of no relevance to anything.vladthegreat100 July 4, 2014 at 7:07 PM UTC

Stealthbomber16 July 4, 2014 at 7:07 PM UTC
I originally had my login as spideematt. When I began to outgrow that I thought of a new name for the now closed, Lego Universe, that I was getting. T hat name was Stealthbomber1452. (I also published quite a few Bubble Tanks in bubble tanks 3 under that name in armor games. Most of them were private.) The username was too long and my mom changed the number to Stealthbomber16, which I thought was better.No idea how I came up with Stealthbomber1452.
