Everything was taken.
I got my name because Rosa Parks inspires me not to give up my lane(seat) for anyone. I have the right to beat this lane.
I used to be a Maokai main and I really enjoy the character Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy comics.
Unfortunately they've destroyed Maokai for me with their accursed reworks.
I sat there for an hour trying to think of a name, finally thought "NinjaToad" only to find "NinjaToad" was taken by somebody who hadn't played in forever.
That jerk.
Lets see... I'm partially a steampunk fanatic and partially mental, so I guess when you put those together you get ClockHead?
I was searching for a name and after sitting there for an hour, feeling slightly crazed and wondering why I bothered to dismiss all the names I came up with, I decided upon a variation of this. 'Twas true genius, really.
I like cats and Darkstar sounds cool. It's basically my online alias by now.
Thatguy was taken 7ha7guy was taken 7ha7guy7 was taken 7ha7guy77 was taken Had i thought it through i would have used seven 7s and been 777ha7guy777
I used to watch a lot of Avatar the Last Air bender and my favorite nation was the Water Nation. I loved da fight between Katara and her Master when they went to the North Pole, so my name was just Frigid Ice Storm since I thought their water/ice bending was really cool :P
I remember being drunk when I changed it. I know that much for certain.
I saw a thing that said "Don't put the word 'RIOT' in your name" so I tried to sneak it in there with a weird acronym.
Step 1 to recreating my username: Mash my fingers one at a time on my keyboard randomly. Step 2: be satisfied with what i have created.
I used my steam one.
I was still a newbie at League (like 3-4 months playing) during the tail end of the Lucian-Thresh meta. I was doing this really weird thing where I'd go IE and then Bork on Jinx, so I could split push very early. I'd usually build two AS/crit items instead of a defense item too, for maximum split push.
I was also watching a lot of Trick2g (thinking that would actually make me a better player). He used the term "AFK Farming" to describe an Ezreal not defending his base, and it just hit me. THAT'S WHAT I DO. I AM that asshole that doesn't defend base. I'm an afk farmer!
Yeah. That's the story.
I like monster hunter and I wanted my name to say "carry me"
Season 5 started. I was walking down river and a bug jumped out at me. I got it. Now I have the scuttle crabs.
my real name contain 3 letter D... but "tripleD" already taken...
Anyone heard about FLCL? Blues Drive Monster is my favorite song from that anime's soundtrack.
I was drunk and talking to my friends about once upon a time through skype while signing up. So i ended up at theevilqueen (regina) with the numbers i always tend to use haha.
Easy.
I play Blazblue. My main in Blazblue is Noel Vermilion. Noel's weapon is called Arcus Diabolus: Bolverk. My name could only be 16 characters.
The world may never know :>
I think mine is a name I used for a WoW character.
Either that or it was a name I used in a game of Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
I'm a fan of the Umineko series. One of the character's had the title "Endless and Golden Sorcerer"
From the song Lets Get physical And I swapped it around when I mained fizz into LetzGetFizzical
well, I was sitting at home, looked to my right, saw a sparkle and realized i had my elbow was shiny, and had grease on it.
I originally came up with it because the Orks were my race of choice in Dawn of War II. Once the IG came out in Retribution I switched over but the name's pretty much stuck, I just use it for all my accounts now since I like it and I've yet to find it taken by somebody else.
Sleep deprivation caused me to insert a 'p' at the end of the name and it just stuck. The intended name 'Catastro' was what Odin's summoning spell in FF3 is called. I had originally wanted to go with Leviath because Leviathan is my all time favourite esper but the name 'Catastro' just had a nicer ring to it. As you can tell, I'm a big Final Fantasy nerd.
First Pokemon game, had to name the bad guy.
Well he's bad... so sin... or maybe cin? Kind of a dick... Still a slot left, take off the c for an le at the end. Because character space. Cindikle
i'm gilgamesh from the fate series
StarCraft + Drag Queens + 'Drag queens on fire? Can we?'
My current name should be pretty obvious, since I picked it up post-retcon.
My prior username was NyanGoesBoom. I chose it because of the many different ways it could be read while still remaining cute. X)
About 12-13 years ago I stole it from a clan mate on Runescape. Been claiming it as my own ever since XD
I had imagined a skeletal-jester-demon-thing for my Xbox gamertag but it was already taken so I just put the year I was going to graduate.
Me: Dammit, Space Jam is taken. Friend: Just make a pun. Me: Is the a character named Jace? Friend: Yea, with a Y Me: Jayce Spam. Perfect.
og runescape random name generator and now its my tag for everything.
Someone paid money to steal my old username and so I changed mine to this.
My usernames always involve the world "Salt" it also helps that getting Salty means getting rump in the grump so I just added Crippling for this game... seemed right.
My parents think I'm funny and I thought I was a summoner
I didn't even know this game had a jester champion until it was too late
Use it for everything. Combines my two favorite things from my childhood.
I got deathtoll from a game that you could kill people with a virus you create
I wanted Windy. That was taken. I added solar because solar winds are a thing.
Praise the sun's farts.
One day it just came to me.
I have Steam and at the time my name was Toxic, so I started thinking of other toxic names for my name, then I thought of Bioharzard but I removed the bio and put a Sir insted cuz I thought it make my name more fancy, and I like fancy things (Like top hats, or tahm) so Sir Hazard was born.
Lugg is pretty straight forward. Lug means carry.

Anime character from the monogatari series.
I had a lot other anime names in mind before hers, but they weren't open, I will have to wait for them, I like this nick too anyways!
(Sorry, mine's a bit of a story)
Well, Marth is a character in the Fire Emblem series, but I first saw him in Super Smash Bros. Melee. I was so addicted to the game and mainly only ever played Marth. When Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out, I was so stoked that my favourite character would be returning, and after a while (I'm not entirely sure why) I started referring to all the characters as "the ____" (such as "the Mario" or "the Ganondorf"). And It was over 2 and a half years ago, I was playing Brawl and my brother tells me "Hey, I downloaded some game, I don't like it, but you try it out first before I delete it" and that "some game" was League of Legends. Now at first, I had to make a username, so I just put in the generic thing I use for everything else, and assumed that would be my IGN. So, I was a little surprised when I was asked to "name my summoner" (or myself as a game character) and I was pretty thrilled that they allowed spaces in the name. I thought for about 5 minutes of what I should name myself, then glanced at the tv... I was in the character select screen of Brawl and the cursor was hovering over my favorite character.
