self-explanatory title, sometimes the stories can be interesting!

in my case it's quite simple, it's the name of a song in umineko's ost

PlatinumChaosX evolved originally from Chaos Black, which I originally got from Pokemon Chaos Black. :v

I went from Chaos Black and decided I need some Platinum in my life so I changed it to Platinum Chaos, then tried PlatinumChaos on PSN, this was taken so I adopted PlatinumChaosX. XDD

Ive gone by Nyko since like 2010, i cant remember why i originally chose it. There was a brief amount of time a couple years ago where i went as Obsidian on steam and now my current name is just a mash up. Lol
 
Well, I like the violet color a lot.
I like all the similar shades too like purple and I prefer dark purple most of the time, these days. Well, anyway, that's how I got the second half of my username.
As for the first half, my best friend used to call me Clara. It's a reference she picked from Heidi of the mountains anime. So, I have started using this name pretty much everywhere and it's kinda unique.
 
Oblivion was the name of a relatively new ride at a theme park in the UK when I first started using the name (around 2001)

I was also quite into Final Fantasy games at the time, and adding "Knight" on to the end just kinda sounded right! So it stuck..

Little did I realise that there are 'Oblivion Knights' in the Diablo games (not a fan).

Oh wow .....
that theme park looks cool. I hope I can get to board all the rides someday ^^
 
It wasn't always this because I actually started off with the username - "kingcool56" which was something I chose when I was quite young so sorry for it being awful lol.
Ash is just a shortened version of my actual name.

Do people close to you call you "Ash"? That's great considering you like Pokemon! Do you like Ash Ketchum tho?
 
I've been using this username online since maybe 2007 or 2008. I first started using it because I thought Palmon (a digimon) was named Palamon back in the day. Username stuck for many years after. I briefly stopped using it from 2009-2011, but went back to it pretty quickly and it has stuck ever since. I use this username everywhere online except Twitter.
 
It's kind of a long story, and this isn't my original username either. For a long time I used Abijah that I randomly found from the Bible and I'd go by "Abi". The username Dizzle is a nickname I got in my family but it's the longer story haha. I use it a lot online and in gaming though.

I have now evolved to Chaos Lumia, merging my OG nickname with my longtime alias.

LONG LIVE CHAOS LUMIA!!! :v
 
I have this aura of always bringing fire and life into anything that I'm involved with and it's how my friends started calling me Mr Heat right from when I was still a teenager. It's how I had baptised into Heatman. It's the only nickname I have and it's my online presence name in all forums and social media sites I use.
