I was hyper active in school, and one of my friend suggested the misspelling of psycho and then my last name. I use programs or freakazoid on some sites because I program in my spare time.

CS is my YouTube name, and WX stands for weather, you get CSWX. 

RGB is very overrated.

Honestly shouldve used the Xbox name ive been using since 14, which is greed38. But I was talking to an old friend and I said AM Dee. (Kinda hung on the d for a second) and this is what he yelled. It made me laugh, he got me into computers in the first place. So I went with it. Why not lol.

I got it from a Richard Pryor standup comedy special called "Live on the Sunset Strip", on VHS, back when I was in 8th grade.

Well my roblox username I created when I was 10 was npete, but then a lot of websites started requiring usernames to be longer so it later became by first name, first 4 letters of my last name. 

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500

I've had a few names.

First was Thundertower80 - because my dad used to play WoW and I liked the name "Nitrogg Thundertower". It wouldn't fit for my Minecraft username, so I made it just "Thundertower" and stuck 80 on the end.

Second was Thor the Starseer.

Thor came because I did a Marvel movie sprint for Endgame, and Starseer because my dad was playing Octopath Traveler.

Third was Ragnarok, but it was really hard to get. I discovered that almost no one but 0's on the end of things, so I did that, but didn't like the look, so I added a 273.

And that's why I'm ragnarok0273.

Damn, I really didn't settle on this username that long ago, huh.

Well, if ya know, ya know but if ya don't, my current name comes from a hat in Team Fortress 2. It's a plunger for Pyro (and is one of the very few red-colored hats that doesn't come in an equivalent blue-color by default) and is my favorite hat from the game.

Still relevant. 

I also go by "failbob2000" on one of my old Xbox Live accounts and on my main YouTube channel. Don't remember where the Fail part comes from, Bob comes from SpongeBob and 2000 comes from the birth year of yours truly.

How did I just now find out this thread exists?

 

Most people think from my username that I'm from Ohio, but I'm actually not (my dad is though). WaggishOhio383 was actually the randomly generated Xbox username I was assigned when I first made my account. I never bothered to change the username because I couldn't think of anything I liked (Xbox was my first online gaming platform so I had never needed a username), and over time I grew attached to it. So now I use WaggishOhio383 everywhere (or WaggishOhio619 in places where my username is already taken for some reason).

I mostly speak from my own past experience from similar problems. My solution may not work for you, but I'll always try my best to help as much as I can. If you want me to see your reply, make sure to quote my comment or mention me @WaggishOhio383, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I have had 2 names justamathguy which comes from a long long time ago (NOTE : Not Bragging) when I was highly interested in mathematics and the one I use now comes from the fact I am interested in physics more than maths

I had a freeagent BMX that I liked to look at in my very early 20s.. It was a rare bike for these parts. I lent it to my buddies nephew.. and someone cut a hole through the wall of  his parents garage to steal my bike. Then I used the name as an alter ego to get back at an ex, which I later adapted since I had outgrown my original internet handle.. a nickname given to me by childhood friends.. been using it since 2003 or so..

Ok, so I used to play tony hawks pro skater 3 on gameboy color a lot (yes it exists), and i thought i was pretty good, even though i was basically just pressing a bunch of random buttons and reversing a lot. Also, i like retro/vintage things so it was kinda a mix between the 2.

 

To be honest tho, i didn't even come up with it. It was someone from a twitch stream i did years ago. Idk if u guys know who quackity is or like his hasbo hotel raid history, but i think i was in/participating in one of them and streaming it, and i had one viewer in chat and we had a nice conversation which wasn't about the raid. I said i wanted to change my username, but i didn't know what to change it to. So they asked what i liked and i said both of the things before and he came up with retro rider and i liked it so i changed that to my name. I kinda forgot their username but i kinda wish i kept in touch.

If you've ever watched Meerkat Manor, one of the patriarchs (or top boss of the group) was named Rocketdog.
