Each name has a meaning.
A username is a name.
A username must have a meaning.
What is the meaning or story of your username?
For mine it's just my middle name (The name I get called by) nothing special.

No one knows exactly where my username came from, but the obvious theory about toroids is (probably) incorrect. The leading theory is that I just thought of it randomly. The theory also states that at some point I realized that it could be interpreted as a contraction from Tor O. Idalet (it isn't, as one of my posts somewhere says). What does it actually stand for, then, you may ask. Here's an answer, interview-style:
Reporter: What does your uersname stand for?
Idalet: I don't know man, I didn't do it. [completely unoriginal line from 20+ years ago, completely typical]
R: But it's your account.
I: What are you talking about? This account is public (provided you can find the password)
R: Why are we even going on some needless dialogue? What does your username stand for?
I: See hereᷝᷝᷝᷝᷝᷝᷝᷝᷝᷝ̂
R: How do you even pronounce that?
I: http://bit.ly/2Cd2KSp
R: I'm out of here.
(DISCLAIMER: This interview is (at least) mostly fictional (yet))

Macbi was a charater in a fantasy book some friends and I had to write for school. I used it when I set up a RuneScape account and I've been using it as an online handle ever since.

I used to have a username based on my name. I changed my username in a videogame music composers' forum to Rhombic -randomly- and I guess I liked it. I actually use two different Rhombic usernames: Rhombic for the slightly more serious forums and rombik for other sites.

Mine's a pony name, obviously ("pony" as in "MLP:FiM"). Apple Bottom is an unnamed (but fan-named) member of the extended Apple family who appears in the episode Apple Family Reunion. No relation to Apple Bottom jeans!

Wanted to use "Supermario24" (which was to encompass my interest in both Mario and the number 24, for reasons) for my YouTube account when I was like 10, that was taken, YT suggested "SuperSupermario24", I went with it, and now here we are, where I'm still using that same username like everywhere for some reason.

All the names I usually used were taken and I had to make up something new. I like animals and I especially love the not so conventionally cute ones. But this time I just used my and my partner's name

Otis is my given name

( what is an elevator operator going to name his son, looking down at the elevator floor all day... )

the strategy worked; all the big shots going up to their penthouse offices are looking down at my name me

mo is modus operandi or method-of-operation trying to attach itself to me

when it does, mo is momentum for "rubber hitting the road"...

I'll revisit this topic.
In most places I'm called Illuminati65. The 1st part is a dead meme, 65 is just a random number.

Too bad you should've used 69.

Also I realized Apple Bottom's name have a, uh, LGBT meaning and "Apple Top" won't make it much better

Illuminati69 was taken on Geometry Dash by then. I just found an account with that name and the profile update was 4 years old, which is older than my account on GD.

What about you Hunting?
