What is the reason your username is your username? And where did it originate?

Mine (Reacter7) came from my father. He is making in upcoming TV Game Show called "ReacTV" and his lucky number is 7. (For TONS of reasons that I won't go into detail) So he made "Reacter7" as our PSN account.

At the start I didn't like the name. But then I was Ok with it.

When I bought MC I needed a username FAST. So, I used Reacter7!

Whats your story?

My story is that I play this game, Free Realms.. I was sorta a noob and I thought that if I deleted a character all that characters stuff would save and move to the next player... I deleted a super rich character named Tiffany Happyheels... After that I was super sad... A couple months later my dad found Minecraft and bought me Minecraft... And every other name I could think of was taken except TiffanyHeels... Thats where my username originates from!

My "game_junky99" username for Minecraft and PSN was made up by me when I was eleven. I got a PS3 and didn't have a clue as to what I should make my online ID. So I said, "Well, I like games, and I play them often, so I'll just say I'm a game junkie. "game_junky" was taken, so I threw a "99" on the end for no apparent reason but to make it original.

But my new name that I'm planning on using for most (or all) future accounts, "TheActualKid", is more unique, I guess. My friend somehow started calling me 'Kid' as a nickname. So I say that I'm the actual person that's called the Kid, or the "real" kid. Hence TheActualKid.

Yeah.

You're very welcome for that name, Kid.

Also, I decided on this name because, well, I just really took an interest in reptiles, and I thought Reptilelord sounded catchy.

I used to be crazy about the youtuber pwnage_potato.

Many thanks, Idium.

Trust me . . . You don't want to know.

I used to play a game called Neopets. My brother helped me come up with the username, which was Monkeyfightsquad. I've used Monkeyfightsqad for everything. So when I got Minecraft, Monkeyfightsquad was taken, so i used Monkeysquad32.

I was really urgent to start playing minecraft so I just put my name as Building4. I will change it when that update comes out, but for now, I'm Building4.

I had to come up with a funny username quickly so I chose CORPORALCRUSH.

I commonly used Loki, or Arkantos, yet I knew I needed something different. I thought about this for a few days, and inspiration hit me later playing Penumbra Black Plague.

To open a program on a certain computer, you needed the password, which was xor451.

I was staring at Xor for a while when I slowly hit "j" then "t".

Xorjt.

I love it. It's short, for the most part unique, and fun to pronounce. (Zshort - but you blend the z and sh into a single constant.)

I pulled Arkantos and Loki from the game Age of Mythology, I used to the play the daylights out of it.

I got Nightmare from the song by A7X, then AK came from an old gaming clan I was in and it just kinda stuck.

My username bakedtoast, here's the story :
My cousin uses burnt toast as his COD account name and while I hate cod, I Thought the name was cool.
Burnt toast was taken on mine craft, so I decided bakedtoast. And it gets a lot of crack ups and jokes from people because you don't bake toast, obviously.

So you were going to STEAL his username... seems legit.

I gotta say most people don't really have an interesting story behind their names. Mine was pretty cool actually because I got it 4 years ago lol.

Mine is devised of off of my YouTube name, BlazemenGaming, which comes from my like of Blazes. Blaze is from Blazemen, the underscore is a space, and GM is from gaming. My forum name is because someone hacked my account, and the mods won't change it for me.

My name, xXBurningEmberXx, came from a camping story.
So I was camping, and for some reason there was WiFi connection at the campsite. So I was like "Ok, I'll make a Minecraft account". So I pulled out my laptop, and started making one. (BTW, we were all huddled around the campfire.) So I was trying to think of a username when an ember touched my leg (Which was exposed since I had shorts on). So I screamed, my laptop went flying, and tripped over a rock, and fell into the inferno. I went to the ER to get a skin graph. Then, after I recovered, I decided to try making an account again. So I was thinking of a username. Then I thought of BurningEmber. That was taken. I was thinking of adding numbers, like BurningEmber05 or something, but I ended up adding xX Xx to it to make it look spiffy. Thats how I came up with my username.

My name, Ramis2356 was made when I was playing harry potter at the park with my friends in year 2. We each made our own random spell and shouted out at each other pointing with a stick. my spell I made was ''RAMIS''. and next year my mum bought me minecraft so I couldn't think anything else but ''ramis''. The [23] is my birthday and [56] is my dogs birthday.

Well, I pulled it out of thin air.
