I just used my nickname from High school. I used to have eyebags so my friends said that I look like a Panda. And so it stayed. (I like Pandas so it suits me 
)
“Pandax” not “Panda” just because the other one was taken.

At first I had a different username, but for now, mine’s chunshiun. It’s the pronunciation of my chinese name. i even searched it up to see if there was going to be anything, and there was, already some guy i think named chunshiun. i began to go for something else, but then decided to keep it about me.

Nice thread, fun to read how people choose their names and what they actually mean.
I’m from Stockholm (Sweden) so I thought something most people heard of; Stockholm syndrome, would be a good username. My image is of Stockholm with City hall with it’s 3 crowns.
Stockholm syndrome comes from a hostage situation at a bank in Stockholm 1973 where the hostages sided with their captives and after being released they defended the bankrobbers which stunned the police.
They turned it into a movie which was decent: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6474040/

It is also related to Maria and another interpretation of Miriam, Mirjam… is ‘bitter’.
I think it is a name you can find in many variations in many countries/languages

As you can see my name is AryDeClair. It is a play off of my real name. Kinda like I am declaring my name. My last name has Clair in it. I thought it was funny at the time I made it. Shrugs

The story behind my username is when i started playing osu! I couldnt think of a name, then i put anime and osu! together and it was called Animsu (Anime= Anim) (osu!= su) and now it is the best username i could think of and i use it for almost all my accounts.

My username consists of two words: ori (오리) and ya (鸭). Both mean ‘duck’ in Korean and Chinese. I like and learn both languages and my pfp is a duck, so there you go…
I also like that it is relatively short and easy to remember. Later I found out that ‘Oriya’ (aka Odia) is also the name of a language in India. And since I like languages in general I think it’s kind of cool my username is also the same as an existing language, even if it was unintentional.
The picture was taken by me in a zoo when I was younger.
