Everybody has a story behind why the username they have is their username.. So, what is the story behind yours? :)
I'll go first!
When I was 6 years old and got a Webkinz it wanted a username, me being a 6 year old decided to take my name, (Ben) and put it with hi in front of it. (hiben) Then have it be backwards.. (nebih) Pretty simple, but after that it just kind of stuck! :)
I'm really interested to see how everybody else came up with their usernames, so please share!
Have a wonderful day.

I had a Runescape account a few years ago and my in game name was sirBob99876. So when I made a
Minecraft account last year after long thinking I decided to use my Runescape name but use my irl name (Andrew)
Instead of (Bob). Oh and I decided to have the 99876 and the underscore because sirAndrew and sir_Andrew were
user names that other minecraft player owned or were in use. That's how my minecraft user name came to be.
:)

Back ye old 2009, I created the account "Waterworth". Due to many failed attempts at getting James interested in the game, I gave him the account 'Waterworth' to try it out for himself. As he didn't feel it was worth the money. *Cough* o.O.
Long_cat's original account name was Noobsbeard hence now my new account involving the name Noob. Therefore out of pure randomness "Fatnoob" was born. Few days later a little server by the name of 'Noobstown' was formed, in which us 3 Noobs begun to build our own little town; Noob's Town.
Who knew 5 years later we'd be sharing that town with 40,000 registered users? and up toward half a million accounts connected throughout our versions.

I was going to use my old WOW account name - Jockitch - but I had enough problems in WOW with that one.
So this name comes from a Futureshop commercial from a number of years ago that I loved.

For some reason I had to add a number so Gigabyteme1 was born. I wish I picked Gigabyteme13 but oh well.

mine doesn't have much of a story haha. My now husband created my account for me when he bought me minecraft. It was his attempt to get my interested when I thought minecraft looked stupid or boring. I wanted just gamergirl but it was already taken so it suggested some other names and one of them was "gamergirlxo" and I thought, eh, that works. haha Not much of a story but thank you mojang for recommending it because it's given me the chance to be "gg" and I really love that everyone calls me that.

Well, I don't know the true origins of my name cause I just borrow everything. I don't even know whose internet this is, it was named Use Me so I did. Though anyway I do indeed have some theories.
Theory 1:
cmw19 stands for the Country Music Weekly issued on May 19th, 2014.

Theory 2:
cmw19 stands for the Canadian Music Week that occurred in 2013 which began on March 19

Theory 3:
There was a man on the day of October 20th (one day after the 19th), 2010, who reviewed a hotel in Florida and seemed to have enjoyed it
(https://embed.noobscraft.com/6148523063446f764c326b756157316e64584975593239744c32513356305648553149756347356e)
thus he moved to Florida cause the site showed the review was written from a New Zealand domain and named himself after Central Maintenance & Welding which happens to be located in Florida.

Theory 4:
cmw19 stands for an album called We Come Strapped created by Compton's Most Wanted which came out on July 19th, 1994.

Perhaps we may never know the true intent of the name cmw19 but we can dream can't we... and isn't that what matters the most.

Mine is not that interesting either as my real name is leigh and two of my favorite numbers is 5 and 6 thus leigh5556 was born and didnt have a clue he would end up playing version 5 and 6 with the best of friends he could ever imagine

Who knew 5 years later we'd be sharing that town with 40,000 registered users? and up toward half a million accounts connected throughout our versions.
This is amazing! :)
EDIT: I've read all of the stories so far, and they are all awesome! :) I hope to see more..

I had to use something other than my real name as it contains weird norwegian letters and I feared no one would be able to pronounce it, so I just borrowed the name of a song I listened to at the time.
I had no idea what it meant and it was much later I found out it was the name of a greek goddess.
Fun part is people can't pronounce "Halcyon" either :P

I like the color tan and I have a really nice, old uncle so I said Dear Aged Uncle so i add tan and DAU to create TanDau
-
Well my minecraft username (A_2_Z) was made because at first me and my brother shared a single minecraft account, and A and Z where our first initials, so we wanted to make it A_&_Z. Yet we couldn't do that so we just went with A_2_Z
The username i use for everything else (wheatley1138) was made as a reference to two of my favorite games. wheatley (from portal) and 1138 (from a star wars game, but i wont tell you which one ;)), so wheatley1138 it was
Also no one has been able to guess which starwars game i got the 1138 from.
-
When I made my minecraft account I was a little kid who had no imagination so I got my name and hi :)
-
I didn't know how to spell when I was younger, and it stuck (now I just says its Halo backwards, sounds better right?) :P
-
My Mc Name was created by My Brother because He wanted to share the account and he thought it was Fair to use SirZavala because our last names are Zavala. Nothing major really.
-
I thought I'd put some honesty in my user name. To be honest I'm not you and since minecraft characters are genderless I decided to go for "it is not you".
-
I really don't know the origin of my username, but I do know that the 8's are reasonable, 8 is my lucky number.
I speculate that "wer" came from a sound effect from a TV Show I liked when I was 6. "Werrrkabang" it went.
-
Well the original username i was going to use was "XxTacoMannxX" but it seems someone already used it, so i was thinking about shoes and how rare the name would be, so i name myself "Shoemann"
-
(On the start of pocket edition) Humm when I first purchased Minecraft I was nine at the time i had a good relationship with people and had an interest in cold (I'm Indian :p I grew up in the mountains) so I asked myself, what can be a cool name? After many fake accounts like "hakunamatata123" I asked myself *chill* "you got to stop making random accounts you don't use and make one you will use for the rest of MC ... So then LittleChillz was born, combining my age , passion for cold weather, relationships, and stress xD.

As my old skin can pertain, ever since I was a little boy I looooooved wolves. So way back when 11 years ago when I was 6, I made my first email account :dawolfman91@yahoooooooooo! It was so marvelous. Then many years later, way back in the alpha days, I spotted minecraft. I set up 2 accounts, on named dawolfman91, and another named Wolfey. When I go to buy the game though... disaster struck. I was logged in on the wrong account! Either way, the name stuck and I've been playing with it for years.
-
my name came from my IRL name "Luc" and I am not sure why I came up with cool or the 787. but still I always use coolluc787 for all of my usernames
-
I used to play club penguin in like first grade, and I made a new penguin and I wanted a penguiny type name so I thought of some ideas. I really liked this submarine mini-game on CB and the noise it made was glub glub glub so I added 909 (9 being my favorite number and 0 just being 0) and its been my username for everything for a while. (though I now use "Chizzle" as an account name when available!
-
I have no clue where my username came from...
-
The story behind my username is simple actually. I am an Alabama Crimson Tide fan. Sometime when people refer to the team they say Bama so that's where Bama came from. Girl and 365 should be self explanatory. So there you have it BamaGirl365.
Ps. To Kingtaco and Gaimmode ROLL TIDE.
-
Well, it was back in 2nd grade, when I player a game called MovieStarPlanet. Back then, thirty was my favorite number and I tried to get in the number 30, however as hidden as possible. I thought of many combinations, but when I came to 5979, I was struck by the simplicity of it, and I liked simplicity by then. Adam's self-explanatory, so I became adam5979. It stuck after that. :P
P.S. 5+9+7+9=30
-
I came up with MikkelRayn as a result of my best friend and brother being unable to spell my name (Michael) always mixing up the a and e -.-" so he labeled me "Mikkel" And well, I liked it. And I love rain but I'm difficult so the personality Rayn was born. When I finally took control of my own mind, MikkelRayn was established circa 2007. I bought my minecraft account after trying it out on a friends computer during Classic and have been playing since. I refuse to change my username lol. It's original and no numbers required. <Pet peeve>

Its an old topic but I'ma post this anyway:
We had an internet hub named the turbohub. I was trying to get an email so I tried [email protected] It, of course as you can guess didn't work. Then, there were other prople selling the same type of thing but they called it a rockethub. So I tried [email protected] which worked. the name has stuck until recently before I joined Noobstown when I changed it to Rockethub (cap R)!

My came from being an avid sims2 & 3 player, runescape player and longtime wow player. For all those accounts I pretty much had the same account name - my nickname, last name inital & a number.
For Minecraft I wanted something different - afterall - I was starting out in a new game & wanted a change.
My favorite hobby other than playing games is geocaching. I love it. So i thought well, why not? My geocaching name is Chitterchatter. I couldn't use Chitterchatter for Minecraft as it was taken - *grumbles* so I had to put the silly little underscore at the end of my name to make it work.
Chitterchatter for my nick name was made one afternoon with my coworkers & some friends - as I like to talk alot, and if you ever go hiking with me, well, I like to converse & tell stories etc. So Chitterchatter it was and here I am. :)

I liked the pokemon pidgeot
I liked the number 72

The story behind my name is that my cats name is fluffy and she is a kitten. So there is "fluffykitten". The "2007" stands for the year I was born so then there was "fluffykitten2007". Not a long story though. But there is the story behind my name!
-
My name is based off of one of my favorite games of all time Red Dead Redemption. and the kid part was when I made my account at age 10 :'(
-
Put simply: "Crashb4ndicoot" :) Best games ever!
-
The "grand" story behind the peculiar name 'meepdoodles' is as follows:
One deep, grand, stormy night, no it was a sunny day. I was making a Minecraft account and so I combined my most favorite peculiar noise: meeeeeeeeeep! like from that one muppet, and then I love to just doodle random things on everything so I added doodle. meepdoodle was taken so I put meepdoodles instead. To this day, my internet empire of aco****s in run under 'meepdoodles' 'LordMeep' or some other variation of meep. My name is quite a mouthful in chat so most call me meep, not to be confused with Othermeep, a.k.a meep91.
-
My original minecraft name was MCDiggity. Because all my gamer names have some form of diggity in them, and that's just because it's fun to say. Then I started playing online with my kids on a mostlt kids server and I thought I should have a more distinguishable adultish name, so i used my middle name Manchelle, and then just because I LIKE to change my name I chose WoodlandWhimsy because I knit and crochet and I create designs and the most recent design I had named Woodland Whimsy after the whimsical organic nature of the design. I wanted to change it to WhiskerBiscuit or TinWhisker but since that would permanently disconnect me from Noobstown looks like I'm WoodlandWhimsy forevs.
-
I love llamas. Also, Llamas with hats I think. Not really sure this was originally my friends account.
-
Some interesting stories behind these names!
Mine's not a reference to a movie as is often thought, but rather a book. I'd just read Amir Aczel's take on quantum entanglement, which is an interesting place to start searching for Schrödinger's cat. In retrospect I could have just as well borrowed from Carl Sagan, but Cosmos was already taken and DemonHauntedWorld too long to type :p
