Where does your PSN username come from?

[A little fluffy cat]

[it's based on myself because I am the most important person in the world. (ME) And that's also the reason why the "ME" is in capital letters.] > that's an "Official" rule . So than we get Official-ME-

[dev2610]

My first name and date of birth in DD-MM format--> Yeah, I know, too mainstream

[Lady_Galleth]

From the Sly Cooper series. Sir Galleth is my favorite character, so I just modified it to fit me. X3

[anthonyrflores2]

Mine comes from The Godfather. Capt was Michael Corleone's rank when he discharged from the USMC in 1945.

[Guest]

The animated series of course! but how I ended up with all caps is beyond me... as I hate all caps.

[TheMCofWumbology]

Mine comes from the Spongebob SquarePants episode, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV, where Spongebob gets ahold of Mermaid Man's secret utility belt, which has the ability to also shrink people and objects. During the episode, when Spongebob shows Patrick that he accidentally shrank Squidward and then shows him the belt, Patrick tries to resolve the problem by turning the M on the belt upside down to a W, which then follows into this conversation:

 

Patrick: Let me take a look at it. Hmmm. You know what the problem is?

 

SpongeBob: What?

 

Patrick: You got it set to 'M' for Mini when it should be set to 'W' for Wumbo.

 

SpongeBob: Patrick, I don't think Wumbo is a real word.

 

Patrick: Come on! You know... I wumbo, You wumbo, He she me...wumbo? Wumbo, wumboing, we'll have the wumbo, Wumborama... Wumbology, The study of wumbo? It's first grade, SpongeBob!

 

And that's where my PSN username comes from.

[SavageGarden2015]

Just because "Savage Garden - To The Moon & Back" is my favorite 90's song.

I have some good ideas but you can't change username on PSN. Anyway i like this one so much (looking good for eyes and reading)

[TheLakota]

[Kingdom Keeper]

It's my username that I've used for everything since my cousin helped me create my first email account when I was like 12. She knew I loved to read, so she said 'Who's your favorite author?" I said Lemony Snicket, so she took his last name and added my initials.

[Vampirehunter145]

I am a fan of classic and old anime which includes the "Vampire Hunter D" movies, add the fact that i am a HUGE fan of the Castlevania series and then you have my username. The number 145 was to avoid the usage of other username.

[kitsune29]

The Japanese language. Kitsune means "fox" whereas 29 is my favorite number (for whatever reason). I like JRPGs as well as the country and its culture. The indirect inspiration could also have been an old X-Files episode, Kitsunegari (fox hunt).

[NebuLaTeK]

From Wikipedia : " A nebula (Latin for "cloud". nebulae, nebulæ, or nebulas) is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases. Originally, nebula was a name for any diffuse astronomical object, including galaxies beyond the Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy, for instance, was once referred to as the Andromeda Nebula (and spiral galaxies in general as "spiral nebulae") before the true nature of galaxies was confirmed in the early 20th century by Vesto Slipher, Edwin Hubble and others." 

 

(Free)Tek(no): Free tekno, freetekno, is the name given to the music predominantly played at free parties in Europe. The spelling of the word tekno is made to deliberately differentiate the musical style from that of techno. The music is fast, normally 170 to 200bpm and characterised by a pounding repetitive kick drum.

09 is 2009 the year i made the account.

 

Legacy is self explanitory

[ItsThali]

I'm soo the boring one here, but "Thali" is just a part of my name.. So I just stuck with ItsThali

[electoblaze]

This is a very interesting topic and thank you to the OP for thinking of it.

 

My gaming name is always electoblaze and I'm very attached to it. I use electoblaze in nearly every gaming community I've ever joined. Sometimes, if I join a new gaming community and electoblaze is already taken, I usually just delete my account. Electoblaze is a sacred name to me.

 

I've had it since I started gaming. As sad as it sounds, I first thought of it when making a runescape account as an 11 year old. (I'm 22 now.) If you guys are familiar with the basic lore, Runescape had three gods: Saradomin, Guthix, and Zamorak. Furthermore, years ago, runescape published humorous videos showing the comedic interactions with the three gods, which I loved to watch. I can't remember exacly but I believe Saradomin and Guthix could both use lightning while Zamorak was clearly a fire-wielder. So I thought of the name "electroblaze" to signify the powers of lightning and fire. Well, that was taken. So I settled for one less letter. And thus, ELECTOBLAZE was born!

 

And yes, you were probably reading it wrong from the start. It's pronounced "E-LECT-O-BLAZE." (There is no invisible "r" there.)

[HalfH3ro94]

Half-H3ro was an amalgamation of my two favourite games at the time, Half-Life and Guitar Hero (3).

 

alt-James has two reasons.

 

a- because it was my vita account and alternate account before H3ro got hacked ( )

b- because I like the band alt-J

[Akamatzu]

My username came from the anime "Betterman." There is a character named Akamatsu and I liked him as a kid. I changed the "s" to a "z" to make it my own. It's been my handle name for everything since. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betterman_(TV_series)

[Breakingthegreen]

I live in a village with green in the name, and I thought breaking sounded cool. That's the end of story time.

Most importantly, breaking IS NOT a reference to Breaking Bad, and the green part IS NOT a reference to money or cannabis.

[ProfBambam55]

i like this topic...mine started back in grade school...my first name is paul but ended up in a class with 4 other pauls so we all got nicknames...i inherited bambam and later bam cuz i was known as being strong for my size (i.e. the kind of kid you wouldn't want to mess with...haha) and it kind of resembles my last name...it's a nickname that stuck throughout my life...some people think bam is my real name and are shocked to learn that it's actually paul...i created the ID when hotmail first came out as a teen...i liked the word professional as having class and being professional have always been up there on my list of things to strive for in life...seemed like too long a word to type every time i would need to log in so i shortened it to prof...as an adult i did 9 years of teaching kindergarten so prof then took on a suitable double meaning...i always wore the number 55 in hockey as sort of a lucky number so added it at the end as it was common practice to add numbers to the end of email accounts at the time...when it came time to create a psn id i didn't even hesitate, i just took out the @hotmail.com...

[jaehyun1009]

my korean name (which nobody outside my family actually uses any more) + DOB (october 9)

[AssassinHearts]

Mines a combination of the two games: Assassin Creed and Kingdom Hearts.

I use my username (AssassinHearts) for almost everything now!

[ClarentBArthur]

Mine is kinda complicated so lets just say that "Excalibur" and every single one of its variation are definitely taken so I have to go with something similar but not many people know about (Its definitely not a human's name, much less my name, like most assumed)

[Raidou Kuzunoha XIV]

From my edgy, arrogant 15 year old self. If I didn't have PS+ and so many purchases and trophies made on this account, I'd just make a new one with a better name, but alas, I'm stuck with this username unless Sony ever provides the option to change usernames.
