It was my username on my porn account on Reddit. I derived it from my not porn account that I also used for other things and people IRL knew. I ended up using this one way more so kept it when Reddit banned me and I came over here.

Named after Jubei Kibagami of Ninja Scroll, first anime movie I ever watched. The 08 was my jersey number when I played soccer.
Had it for forty years, it was my CB radio call sign.
Resol = bunch of jumbled letters that are completely meaningless, but can be interpreted as either the first 5 letters of "resolution", or the backwards spelling of "loser"
van = Dutch word meaning "of" or "from"
Lemmy = this is insanely obvious

Abbreviation of my real name yields "NW". I decided to add wind to make it a Hong Kong slang.
my friend's username started with "int" and I wanted a similar username, and interstellar sounded cool (I was also 12 when I made it) and then I added a 1 because interstellar was taken
It used to be the name of my character back when I played DnD, and the very origin was some online dwarvish names generator.
I'll let you guess the second half 👍
The first half is actually short for Indigo.
Back in the day my old internet alias was Indigo Michigan. I eventually dropped the Michigan when I became a Brony. "Indigo Brony" didn't really sound great, so I shortened it.
I eat a lot of pasta
It's a portmanteau of federation and degenerate. This account was going to be a porn account and I am a degenerate.
It's my lizard's name
I think mine is kinda obvious but in case it isn't, it's "GNU" in the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet. I got it because I like aviation and Linux... and also because I'm too autistic to get a more normal one
Was my reddit username for ten years. When I joined reddit it was through the swimming sub, looking for info on waterproof MP3 players so I could swim laps while listening to AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Slayer, etc etc. I'm a bogan that swim laps pretty much every day.... therefore waterbogan
I was making a WoW character (back in the days even the Burning Crusade wasn't there yet). It was a troll with big tusks, so I thought he'd need a toothpick or two.
And the spelling is from "Don't be a menace to South Central...", there was a stupid gangster under this name, he's my soul animal.
I don't remember where my name came from but maybe it's a variation off the NES game The Astyanax
It's just a name I put into a BBS when I signed up 35ish years ago and I've used everywhere since.
Huge fan of GWAR and always used their lead singers name for online accounts.
Can’t wait until some internet rando types “GWAR” into a search engine and watches a video… fantastic.

Keys on a qwerty keyboard.
I mostly enjoy but not competitive online player from UO and Everquest era so I tired of typing good game no re do
I am the pretty Guardian in a sailor suit who fights for love and justice!!!
If by that you mean the URL one, it's a combination of different anime characters, but if by that you mean the one you see on comments, it's short for the one I've had at birth. You can change how it looks in the account settings.
wanted a zerg sounding name when I started playing SC2 and then mained terran instead
A resemblance to Ming the Merciless in Flash Gordon. It's my nickname amongst my friends and round the pub (some of whom don't know my birth name) to the point you could go into my local and ask for the Emperor and someone would point you in the eight direction. So when I signed up online, it made sense to use this name and it has since became my nom-de-plume and is, in effect, my Common Law name.
My xbox Gamer tag was oXOrangeBudXo because i was very cool and unique and just started smoking weed. I then went normal and was OrangeBud in different ways. Then Orange because i didnt smoke anymore. And then PixelOrange because i like the pixels. And if that name is taken, its PixeIOrange with upper i.
I like penguins and 90s nostalgia. It's a Legends of the Hidden Temple fake team name.
Could I have gone for the alliteration? Perhaps. But Purple Parrots already existed. And I don't like pink.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. It's the name of an optional NPC that writes you a few letters and then dies. He has no relevancy at all, but I like him. Based on where you are, he may be written without the 'r'.
I learned how to solve a Rubik's cube and figured I could make a username out of it.
Plus, it doubles as a reference to a pixel on a screen and I'm a security engineer, so... It kinda works both ways.
