For those of you who put some thought into their username, how did you come up with such a unique username without having to use random numbers # or an underscore _ etc.

I’ll go first, I wanted a username that was somewhat gender neutral, and I really like the name Yozora after I watched Haganai about 1.5 years ago also because i found out Yozora literally translates to night sky but for obvious reasons that was already taken. So i tampered with the name, a bit and switched the “o” and “a” in Yozora and added a “u” at the end

Back in 2014 at the height of the xbox cod sniping scene having a four character username looked better in lobbies [and because most four character usernames were all taken] so going from previous long-standing name "Sync" [which I had for over 5 years that point] I came up with "Cync" and then finally moved to "Cneq" have been using it ever since, honestly insane to think in a few years it'll have been a decade since I've had this name lmao

I have an underscore in my name, but it wasn't necessary to use it (on Anilist and anime-planet I actually use the same name without the underscore). I came up with it because of a quote from My Little Pony about how "of course zombie ponies don't exist", and I thought a pegasus would be a cool type of horse to be zombified. I don't watch My Little Pony anymore, if you were curious.

Because there aren't many people who would dare to be Stuff. Because if you want to be Stuff, you have to give up friends, family, lovers and even your humanity, and dedicate your life to many heinous crimes. Crimes against a person, a group, a race, a government, and sometimes even genocide. So really, only I can be Stuff

I pronounce this like "scenic", uwu. I like

I had a username i weally weally liked, but I posted too much cringe stuff on it and some simple searches bring up that account ;_; so I don't use it anymore. It was my Discordian name, but perhaps frequently changing names is Discordian enough nyaa. It wasn't here btw, but rather an occult forum. Gosh golly gee whiz i wonder when dat site will go belly up, maybe then I can reclaim the name T_T

I chose it around 2014/15, MLG compilations were the best shit, and I loved the Illuminati memes from it. Like finding random triangles everywhere. The extra L in my username is also in my real name.

My username is actually an exalted title that an elite tribe of noble Oscuramian warriors sometimes bestow upon those who - through honorable and brave deeds - have demonstrated extraordinary strength, courage, resilience and moral fiber. Of course those feats alone is not enough to earn such an honor. In order to rise to the level of Nekoburger one must also act with the outmost modesty and humility in all facets of life. 😇✌️

My name doesnt really look unique, but most often it is never taken on any site.

I used to watch a lot of ytps as a kid and I thought "sample text" was the funniest thing ever. Then I realized sample text is too long for me and I shortened it to Text, then I went and added 101 because that's as simple as it gets.

Well, I need to choose a username for MAL.

Then I thought "it should be something cool"
But then thought again "I'm sure I'm gonna die by cringeness of my name after a while"

So that's why I picked the first word that came to my mind. Which was "velocity"
I don't remember why I didn't use velocity. Maybe because someone already picked.

Anyways so I thought it looks so simple like this, I should add something. Then great idea popped up!!
I thought I should pick the second word that came to my mind. Which was "dubious". But only added the "d" since it was too long.

So that's how I made the "velocityd" username.

My username is definitely cringe but at least the story behind it is mildly interesting. The first online account I ever really created was a YouTube Channel back when I was 12 so that I could favorite videos to re-watch later. I didn't want to use my real name so when coming up with a fake name I decided to pick something Japanese since I was a bit enamored with the country at the time since I noticed that all the most popular games / shows at school were from Japan (Pokemon, Yugioh, Beyblade, Bakugan, Nintendo Franchises, etc). The first name I could think of was Kyoto, although of course in reality this is the name of a city and not an actual name given to people. On top of that, my Dad lived in Japan for a few years and explained to me they use honorifics at the end of names with the highest honorific being sama which I misremembered as being somo. In addition, it's worth mentioning that YouTube names couldn't have spaces in them at the time, so all this together is how I wound up with the completely nonsensical username Kyotosomo. I then proceeded to just go ahead and use that username everywhere else too. And unfortunately shortly after I got serious about YouTube and started regularly posting content the Channel blew up before I even had the chance to consider a name change so now that Kyotosomo is what hundreds of thousand of people know me by I'm basically stuck with it (wouldn't want the name change to confuse people or piss them off). But hey, at least it's unique I guess, better than xXxSniperMaster262xXx or some other shit like that which was common for the era.

Velocity and dubious two words I haven’t thought about in years until I met you

I probably have one of the most unique and archaic usernames in MAL.

I've had it for almost 30 years now. I came up with it way back in 1994/95, the reason of how, why I came up with it are super personal and I'm not going to share it with the rest of the class.
I'm going to share that it didn't took too much time or effort to come up with it. And that my og Yahoo e-mail account was Dawizz.

Funny story, when the og playstation came out I used Auricom online, everywhere and Dawizz was just put on the after burner, so much so, that I even lost my og Yahoo e-mail because I forgot the password, everything
associate with said account.
Flashforward to 2000/01 I then started using Dawizz as my main username, by that time I had found out that a DJ was using the name, I was like WTF?! Since then a company in 🇫🇷 an IT, I think, located in Vannes is named Dawizz, other dj's use other variants of the name, like DaWiz etc.

But the OG, the one and only Dawizz is me.

Mine is very unique, some users here said its like the name of religion or something

But anyway, it comes simply from philosophy + architecture, coz I love both of them. Although both my degrees were architecture and civil engineering (structure)
