Mine is a nickname I was given by one of my pilots when I was in the Army. 

[freeagent]

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..

I like RGB and im a boy so RGBoy

[Retro_R]

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.

[Rocketdog2112]

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

 

 

 

The 2112 is from the Rush album

[WhitetailAni]

Remembered I changed it, thought I should explain.

I lost a bet.

I was talking to @FakeNSAabout their whole sham government thing on the LTT banning game thread, and we got around to discussing what slots there were.

I said "If my Digikey order arrives before February 22nd, I'll join."
It arrived two days later, and here I am.

In case you're interested, FakeLMG is available.

[Dundee]

just my irl name lol..... nothing too fancy

[lboolaka_33]

Dr.=Added this because there was already a YouTube channel named "Kaloob". 

Kaloob=An old teacher of mine called me this, and lead to "Kaloob" or "Kaloob the noob" being a nickname of mine. I kinda hated it at first, but over time I stopped caring and eventually started to actually like the nickname. 

My old nickname on here (old account, circa 2016), was "kk027". That was just a nickname of mine plus 027, which was originally used for my Scratch account in 2013. 

[IkeaGnome]

Changed my name to match what I use pretty much everywhere else now.

[DeadnightWarrior]

"Deadnight Warrior" is the first song on "Something Wild", Finnish band Children Of Bodom's debut album from 1997:

 

[Lomac]

My name stems from when Counterstrike was first released back in 2000.  Yes, it's that old.  Wanted to play the game online for the first time and this was the first thing that came to mind that sounded halfway decent.  *shrug*

[Computernaut]

I use the name Computernaut for several things (though I also go by ThunderStar in a few places). It came from when I was picking a new name for my Minecraft profile back in 2017. I had originally intended to be "Robonaut" ("Robo" from robot, and "naut" from astronaut), but it was taken, so I opted for Computernaut instead. In the long run, this turned out better as shortly after that is when my interest in computers really got going. I still like the name and so it's my go-to whenever I need a username.

[Downkey]

Back when I used to play a lot of Badlion/Ultra UHC I was famous in my friend group for using arrow keys. Sometime in May 2020 the Minecraft IGN “down key” was available (meaning down arrow key) and I took it. You can still look up my IGN on NameMC

[thrasher_565]

my dad one day said i keep crashing play racing games my name should be crasher so that's what it is if i play racing games. my dads user name was fox maybe because of flaying games i dont no.

 

 

[rowdyjosh02]

My username (rowdyjosh02) was basically created when i was first allowed to make an account on PlayStation and Xbox because I made them at pretty similar times I'm talking ps2 days and at the time my dads username was rowdybloke73 don't ask me how he thought of that because to be honest I don't even think he remembers and i thought i like the term rowdy because i thought it was funny and my nickname is josh and i was born in 2002 therefore rowdyjosh02 was born.

its funny now because i very often get called rowdy every time I'm in the call with my mates just because ever since ive known my mates my username has been rowdyjosh02 and has never changed. 

[Prodigy_Smit]

Told my mom to help me create a youtube channel when I was 7 or 8. She chose Prodigy_Smit as the name and it stuck.

As for the word by word explanation:

Prodigy is a cool word and Smit is my name.
