In 7th grade I thought "Omnomnom" was spelled/pronounced as "Obnobnob". I've just kept it since no one else has used it on any other site, except for Skype for some reason.
Started using this name in 2009, I was thinking about studying Latin and came across "A Priori" which means to base an argument on theoretical deductions rather than empirical observation. I just thought it looked nice.
Used to be a member of a maplestory forum, my name at the time was something like Misterman. There was a P. cool guy named EcksDee there. Next account I made I stole the name and been using it ever since.
It all began when I posted on a Halo PC modding forum back in the day. I was worried about getting a virus from the mapping tools. So, I made an account and asked the forums if the tools were infected(stupidly enough). Bonus: [url=http://old.halomods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=56676]a link to the thread[/url] Oh yeah, and then when I registered on Facepunch, it had to be shortened to "ihatecompvir" instead of "ihatecompviruses123". Ihatecompvir stuck, and was much better than ihatecompviruses123 anyways.
Back when I was younger, maybe 7 or 8, a friend of the family lent us Baldur's Gate, I made my character, and had to think of a name, my fourth or fifth name, was Dejarie, and I've stuck with it ever since.
Not a single clue.

There was this brand of Legos called Lego Racers. It had a racing team called Nitro. There were games in Lego site that I could play, but it required an account. Only name that came to mind was my favorite Lego Racers team, Nitro. The numbers I made up from the top of my head.
My name in FP is translated into "jealous" from swahili. I didn't even knew that when i did it.
Inside joke/nickname from fifth grade (about seven or eight years ago)
[video=youtube;qGLqm1K2H6o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGLqm1K2H6o[/video] His japanese name is Green and western name is Blue. Added brackets because Green was taken and I'm an unimaginative fuck, thinking of changing it to Gurin. also 4000 posts fuck yes
Just came up with it one day, needed a new one, my old ones were quite bad.
Used to be a huge fan of Band of Brothers and my favorite character was Dick Winters. So I just took his last name, I was shocked it was not taken. [img]http://www.calebwilde.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/BOB_DickWinters.jpg[/img] Richard Winters from Band of Brothers.
I'm not totally sure, my name isn't either hugo or roy, and I've never met someone named either of those.
I was trying to make a username for a site that I can't remember the name of, and I was trying to type "Gaminguy". I typo'd like no other and ended up with gaminji, and the name stuck.
It's me.
I always used the name Alan playing CS and stuff, seeing as its my name and all, and somehow I picked up Ninja! along the way. I found Garry's Mod not long afterwards, and here I am. I typically just shorten it back to Alan now.
I thought this name was unique and relevant for most things I did on the internet My current handle is fancy ghost, though. My sister used to babysit a 5-6 year old, one day they were just doodling and my sister drew a ghost, and the babby drew a moustache on it. "Is that a moustache?" "Haha yeah, he's fancy!" and thus the name was born and the prophecy fulfilled
My name is AJ, and most people think I'm awesome. I'm not 15 though. Also I only used this name because the one I usually use was gone
I am obscenely obsessed with Metroid.
Well my name here on facepunch was something random I came up with so many years ago. The one I normally use when I play is Sax, or some modification about it. When I decided to have that gamertag I was kinda obsessed with the :sax: emote here on facepunch. So I had that, and eventuelly it got stuck and I haven't been able to come up with a better one that doesn't sound cheezy or too complex.
back in the old newgrounds days of my youth, my username was DarthVaderClock, after i decided that was fucking stupid i went by dvc. for years i tried to make a better name that dvc stood for. DaringVonContra is now my main usernames, all my alts are some form of dvc DaVideoCamera DeadVaginalCiricumsion DadsVeryCorny DeathVsConan DaernVenCentrea DrunkenVideoCum etc etc
I used to frequent on thegtaplace when I was 9 or 10. I was known as thegtaguy (which I copied off "thatgta3guy"), InvincibleDonkey (copied off "InevitableGoat"), and after I changed my name to InvincibleDonkey people were bitching about it, so I wanted a cool name that was all mine. There was a moderator on there named Skyline, so uhh.. yeah, kinda copied him as well and called myself "Highwire". The name was actually pretty cool though so I just kept using it since then, and nobody really noticed because it isn't an obvious copy of the name. It's "Hiighwire" on here because "Highwire" was taken I think. I used to always use highwire1111 or highwire1112 because "Highwire" was also taken on Habbo :v:
Drako was the coolest name that I could think of when I was like 7, so I stuck with it. Feels wrong going by anything else now.
Take a guess.
I was prompted to create a username and, after staring at the screen for a little bit, this one popped into my mind for whatever reason.
My Facepunch username is a lame pun on the Red Baron that I made so many years ago and live to regret. However, back when Facepunch's uprising on eRepublik took place I needed to make a citizen name. I sat there for a good few minutes and came up with Victor Von Pretzel. I really like the name so nowadays my alias is Von Pretzel.
I was playing warcraft and decided to make a new account, in the process of making it when it asked for a name. I just smashed my hand into my keyboard and got this and now this name has been with me for ~5 years
Swog. Was watching an old video, and it was a word of the day and meant the opposite of swag. Since swag was so overused (there's like 15 people in my school wearing it all the freakin' time) I decided to use Swog. Hence, birth of the man-child.
