Zassi12 is made of two things at first my real name and a random number.
Zassi is what my friends are calling me duo to my name of Zallinger is so long.
the funny part is my father and my younger brother are all called zassi by their friends.
12 is just because someone already had Zassi as its nickname.

My internet name (M) is probably the least exciting story ever.


I was uploading a video to YouTube, at which I did not have an account to at the time. I needed an account, so my friend pressured me into making an account (The video's dumb, but the username had to do w/ the letter M)

Later on, I nearly started making Let's Plays. I needed to stand out from the rest, and I knew this. I was consulting with my friend what I should do to set myself apart. Later, we decided that I should be M, the Anonymous Player, and it has stuck ever since

My name is fake-hispanic... and before you say anything I am 0% latino or hispanic. I live in South America but I am american so when I am in the US (since i speak fluent spanish) they called me hispanic... the FAKE-hispanic

I wanted a username that sounded intelligent but also revealed no details as to who I actually am. It was made to be a simple name because I haven't really come up with a username that really represents me. And until Minecraft allows for username changes, I will stay htmlperson. Most of my online usernames were created for complete anonymity, but are simultaneously memorable. For instance, my disqus profile username is Absolutely No One. It literally says nothing about me, but other commenters can remember my existence.

My name came from me forgetting to enter the username when i was making my account. So one of the options was steve956 and now thats what i am.

I got my name originally when I made an account for Minecraft. I had about a minute till my father got impatient to put in a name, so I tried to through some names with "Game" in it. To hurriedly get an account, I tried to use GameGeek, and put in a few "random" numbers. It fit, and I'm usually called Game all the time now.

Mine came from my name and age

My first name is Alexander, or Alex

KL are my middle name initials

12 made it a catchy username, as I was turning 12 the next year (I turned 13 November 16th)

My username is Genetics_. The origins of this is rather simple, I had shared a minecraft account with a friend for two years which was called potatoemonger, which is a bit silly if you ask me. After these long years, I won a minecraft gift code in a contest and I sat at my computer for 2 hours trying to find a good name since all the good ones were taken. I have a particular love for genetics, and other branches of science and forutnately for me, Genetics_ was not taken.

I have 15 letters in my name, and it doesn't do that to me.

I wonder why...

You can see your own skin (Inventory screen, hand, etc) but other players can't.

My first online name I can remember was RedtigerK on AOL of all things. My mom had come up with the name, because she was a leo and I'm her daughter, with bright red hair. The K came from the first letter of my last name.

Then came SecilleKaradriel after that after two roleplay characters... Red_Hope came from my favorite color and me scrounging for a nice word to use after that for Gaiaonline. That became my primary name on several avatar sites before I opted for something a bit more name-like, and while coming up with the name, I ended up with Shireling, dropped the 'G' and became Shirelin instead. That's now what I use everywhere that the name isn't taken. Everywhere else, I'm left scrambling for some derivative of Kali, Kaliea, etc.

ChibiFerret was my name for myself on Spore and on Twitter, because it was my nickname mixed with something I was obsessed with a few years back.

Cyonna (my MC handle) comes from Shirelin not being available, as well as none of my derivatives. XD I stole it from my best friend, who has it for one of his World of Warcraft toons.

Hey everyone, this is my first post on here EVER and i got my name from my liking of ninjas. I tried just plain 'Ninja' but as you can expect, it was taken so then I tried 'BlackNinja' (favorite color is black) and it was taken too. So I ended up adding some x's in and I like it. Final product- XxXBlackNinjaXxX

My nicks come from when I built my first PC.
A friend lent me Diablo and Myst as my first pc games.
My 2 room mates and I loved the game so we got internet access to play it online
and I found out how hard it can be to find an appealing username, that wasn't a jumble of random numbers,
that someone else didn't use first.
Back then Diablo's Battle.net didn't use passwords, so you'd have to find a new nick nearly every day.
Since, at the time, I played several paper rpg games, I started using 2 names I used for those games.
Raven_Shadow and Jynx_PathFinder.

While modding for Sims 3 for 2 diferent websites (using Jynx and Raven Shadow) a friend bugged me to use
X-Fire, eventually I did, using the nick Master_Jynx, to be smart aleck, and when he bugged me to try Minecraft,
I used the same nick to prevent more confusion.

I signed up on WinCustomize as catluvr when I was first introduced to skinning sites (I was looking for Windows Media Player skins, to be specific), and there was a little button that led to a site called deviantART. I clicked it, and I tried to sign up as catluvr. No dice. So I tried catluvr2. That worked. The rest, as they say, is history. I became so fond of that screen name that I went back to WinCustomize and changed my name there to match the other sites.

Before recently, I've always gone with MasterGoomba.

When I decided to have that stroke of genius, I was a HUGE Mario craze. Like insanely. I always liked Goombas anyhow, so I decided to go with KingGoomba. That name was taken, so, what else is similar to king? MASTER! And here I am today. I've moved onto the name CafeUdon (noodle craze) then now, PapyroKinesis. That means the power of warping paper. Woot.

A long time ago in my middle school days, I drew a picture of a cyborg potato.

Terminator + 'Tater = Taterinator. Then I added an "i" prefix and slipped an 8 in there somewhere. I don't even why.
So now I'm stuck with iTaterin8r. LOL

I want to change it so bad. The potato thing kinda sticks for some reason. I've been going with "SirTaters" or just "Taters" recently.

My first name on online games was jerkface2000 and that was on robloxs when I was like 9 or 10 years old, then as I signed up for wizard 101 that was taken so I tried many names only to fail until I got to snapman ( not to sure how I got the snap part mostly because I had recently learned how to snap) but that was taken so I tryed snapman101(added the 101 because of the 101 in wizard 101) also taken, so I got really mad and just stuck a extra 1 on the end and it work and that name just stuck but I usually go by snapman101 if its not taken

My name doesn't have any real meaning behind it, it was just a name i came up with to use on some site and i've used it everywhere since.

I just kinda started brainstorming at Z and it came to me, grew on me, and i used it from then on.

My name comes from when I was on my original account, on a server (I think I was literally building with dirt, because that's what I thought people did in those days to be cool) And all of a sudden my 10 year old instincts kicked in. There was trouble in the chat with somebody being 'naughty' on the server. So I used my thought to be great moderator powers and held a hand out yelling stop! Afterwards I started typing in to the chat 'the credits', like: Me: The Moderator, Blablahguy: The Bad Guy.... And that's how I got my forever username 'TheCreditsGuy"
(Mind you I have a few others like WindUpBunny, Catdisc, and AsteroidCookie :P)

My name comes from my favorite thing in the world (one of the VERY few things that trumps Minecraft): STAR WARS!

I read the book Star Wars: The Lost Legion, which is from the Decide Your Destiny series (it's Goosebumps style), and I took the quiz at the start and read through the story, and at the end (my actual ending, not like I got killed so I went back and changed my choice), my Clone Trooper got the nickname Ace. I liked it and it stuck. I started to put Ace as all of my gamer profles, but eventually I decided it wasn't personal enough. I am a person who likes complex logic puzzles and mathematical equations, so I decided to so something logical. A is letter 1 in the alphabet, c is letter 3, and e is letter 5. My Minecraft name is Ace135ecA (wouldn't have the ecA, but that was taken), and that was taken here so I made it A1c3e5. Now I use it for passwords, user names, and everything. I am not Noah B****. I am Ace135
