What’s the story behind your username? 🎮

[Saffyyyyy]

I’ve always been a curious person and I’ve seen so many cool usernames here. So I’m wondering how did you found your username? Does it have a special meaning?

My story is pretty boring. As you can guess, I love sunsets. Every sunset has something magical. And the username “sunset” was already taken so I added an extra s and t.

Please, share your stories with me!

It was meant to be saffron, I tried saffy, didn't work, saffyy, didn't, saffyyy, and you get the point.

Mine is nothing special just my bedrock username (thanks Xbox live for giving me a name that grew with me over the years)

Mine is kind of... weird xD

When I was in 7th (or maybe 8th I don't precisely remember) grade, one day I was coming back from school and we were walking home with my older brother. I was planning on starting a YouTube channel but I needed to find a good name, so I started listing names to my brother so he could decide if they were good or terrible. After like 50 names, I just gave up and thought of a random word, Geister. But, you know, to spice it up, I swapped i with 1 so it became Ge1ster. When I told my brother, he didn't immediately put on a sour expression but instead actually contemplated on the possibility. I learned that "Geist" meant "Spirit" or "Ghost" in German and it kind of sounded cool so I just decided to stick with it. I named my channel Ge1ster and from that point on I named every account of mine on all platforms "Ge1ster".

Cool I knew Geist meant ghost or sprit didn’t know what language though one of the most errie things I can think of involving ghost was the Eastern Airlines flight 401 the crash didn’t damage much of the plane so they used the salvaged parts on their other planes only to have crew members reprt ghost sightings of flight engineer Repo and i always forget the other one it was either the first officer or the captain sitting in passengers seats and once the parts were removed the ghost sightings slowly started to stop really eerie stuff

 

[RelatedNoobs]

Uhh I guess I can answer the question for both “RelatedNoobs” and “Team Termite”.

RelatedNoobs: So one day I decided to create a gaming channel that both me and my sister were going to use. Since we were going to share the same YouTube account, we needed a name that would make sense and have a ring to it. I don’t really remember when it popped into my head but somehow I pieced together “Related” (since we are related obviously) and “Noobs” (since we are generally noobs at video games lol). I have no clue why I keep it to this day even thought me and my sister share no accounts anymore - it just has a nice ring to it.

Team Termite: I was playing with my friend Gopnik one day just destroying competition in eggwars as usual. This was pre-channel days, we had said we always wanted to start an EggWars channel but didn’t get round to doing it yet. We were also still looking for names for the channel. Anyways, do you guys know the movie the Incredibles? Obviously you do. At the end of the first movie when this new villain shows up and the movie ends, the villain says in a super raspy and loud voice “I AM THE UNDERMINER!” Or something along those lines. Some reason me and Gopnik found it funny and would always say that when destroying players in eggwars. Back to us playing eggwars, I started chuckling in our voice call and this was the conversation:

Gopnik, “what’s so funny?”
Me, “I think I just thought of a good title for us”
“What is it?”
“The Termites”
“Why?”
“Because we eat through competition like Termites eat through wood - we literally undermine them”
We laughed and loved the title. We held onto it and eventually when it came time to make my channel, Team Termite was born.

Well, it's kinda funny. When I originally thought of the design of my now rather well-known fluffy dragon I was at the local GP. While I was waiting for my quarterly check-up at the GP there was a wet floor sign. After having a rather weird brain moment (brainstorming) I constructed my character from those two main colours.. yellow and black, as well as the name "Hazard". (I was very bored while waiting to be seen) Since then the name has kinda just stuck with me ever since, and I've never really used a different username anywhere else.

Now if you mean my Minecraft username, it's quite simple. Hazard is a "Dutch Angel Dragon" (no not actually speaking Dutch), so I wanted to try and incorporate the species name in with my username for both Java and Bedrock. On Java, my name has always been HazardTheDutchAD, and I haven't changed it since I created the Minecraft account. Unfortunately with Bedrock having HazardTheDutchAD doesn't fit within XBOX Live's requirements so I had to shorten it down. I went from "Hazard DutchAD" to HazardTheAD, which still means Angel Dragon which is as close as I am probably going to get with adding the full species name to my Minecraft username.

 

[SlinkyGnu05604]

Three words: Xbox Generated Name.
That's how I have my username. I got the name when I joined Xbox Live almost 10 years ago (back in the Xbox 360 days, remember anyone?). I kept the name even though later down the line I planned to change my name after brainstorming ideas but I decided not to for a few reasons: 1 - Saves and 2 - Memories

 

[Egg🥚]

A couple of years ago, my cousin who also plays on CubeCraft decided they wanted to be referred to as 'Aiden' online. Mainly for privacy, I assume.
I also wanted an online nickname instead of my real name so I started thinking. I had just watched the movie Inside Out where the main character is called... Riley! Then I put a P in front of it because my favourite animal is a parrot :)

wait so ur real name isnt riley? lol

 

[Egg🥚]

My ign: EggsAxis

In spring 2020 i changed my username to 'EggStealer', due to me playing Eggwars and it was in springtime. Because i called myself Eggstealer, i made a forum account and changed my discord username to 'Egg'. So I came kinda obsessed with an egg so my next name was EggsAxis (eggs sounds like X, so X-axis).

 

[Priley]

wait so ur real name isnt riley? lol

You're one of the very few that doesn't know this - but no, Riley is not my real name :) It is...

[BesottedPotato]

Mine isn't as special as some of the other ones here, but my xbox generated name was BesottedFoil815. I wanted to change the Foil815 part so I just slapped on Potato, and I've stuck with it for a couple years now :D

Well, My irl name is Adamson and I named myself when I was 4...

 

[Kazwa]

So basically I had a really hard time finding a IGN that I would stick with on all my games and accounts. However one day I came up with "Kazwa" since my real name is "Kasper" and I wanted the IGN to be kind of similar to my real name.

 

[ATouchscreenPlayer]
