You know, this username was a name I used for an Internet-chatroom type story. It was about "Heliox" and "S3M3L3", just talking and chatting about life's little (and big) problems and stuff, while enjoying each other's company.
Then, as that story became another story to add in the pile of unfinished stories, I decided to use that username.
Here's hoping I'll find my S3M3L3.
My username isn't actually far off my actual name. I wanted to go just by "Luxi" first, the nickname I had in school, derived from my last name (Lux), but I thought it's too common and also taken by most websites so I had to add something to it.
"Steven" is basically my actual first name (Stefan) in English, because I think it just sounds better (for some reason I just don't like how "Stefan" is pronounced in English compared to German). And the "De" in the middle is just there so everything rolls off the tongue better 
Technically my name is my real name, but I use my middle name. I started using it as a username everywhere because it's so unusual that it's guaranteed to be available, lol. Except twitter for some reason. I nearly went through an existential crisis when I realized there was already a "rayenae" on twitter.
Lost a kid during pregnancy with my ex. Was going to name him "Vallen" so I adopted "Joe Vallen" to signify the transfer in my paternal side to my creations...
Meh. I already explained my current name. Might as well explain other usernames I tend to use.
NyxBlood - Nyx is a name of the Greek goddess of night, she is also the only person Zeus is afraid of. Blood... I like the taste of Blood.
JestaBlood - Jesta is one of the ways I say, Jester. I'm a jokester so that's why it's in there.
Ours is the nicknames we have for each other. Branimir, whom I call Brani. And I'm Vanessa but he calls me Ness!
Isn't it? I absolutely adore his name! It's Bulgarian and means "guardian". Apparently, it's a rare one even in Bulgaria... I don't really understand why it's not more popular, it sounds really cool 
Lol, now that you've said that. I'll forever picture in your profile pic, that he's there to guard you.
Web domain, just use the search bar. Why? because If the name is available you can use it for your artwork and everyone can find your stuff in one place. 
Also Kera Magazine, there's lots of fashion brands and photographs with cool names, tons of ideas there from names to outfits for drawing!
I got obsessed with the band LM.C and their song Chemical King-Twoon. Originally that was my username on a site but a friend started calling me Twoony for short. Then others called me Twoony and I really liked it so I kept it. 
My Pen name and the character associated with it is a bit of an inside joke with a friend of mine from back when I was a preteen. I decided to use it because I wanted a name that was fairly anonymous and couldn't easily be linked to any individual person.
Okay here comes a long list of names.
Noble Pink: i stole it from a friend (the original was noble blue because her name means noble ans she likes blue but i changed it to pink cause I liked pink at the time)
Blossom: my parents told me my name means blossom. It doesn't
BlossomTn: blossom with my old initials
Blackrose7: I like black, roses and black roses. 7 is a special number to me
BlackRoses_RedRavens: I wanted a cooler version of blackrose7
LieRennyValkyrie_: my nickname is Ren ans i ship ren and Nora from RWBY.
Lie Ren/Ren/Renny: my best friend gave me that nickname because our personalities and friendship are similar to that of Ren and Nora from rwby and it just stuck.. (I call her Nora BTW)
Kai Bri: my first name (well names). I know real creative
Kaibri606/kaibri707: cause I'm mystic messenger trash even though I've barley played the game...
Kloanne Paige Waters: Kloanne was a name I thought up idk if its even a real name. Paige is such a common middle name and waters is the last name of a guy from my school and it was the first name that came to mind. I later to Kloanne Valkyrie on my Facebook account I had using it and the wattpad account I had I deleted so its not used anymore but I still kinda like the name kloanne.
I tend to just go by kai Bri online and sometimes Ren as its what I'm called IRL.
Where my pen name comes from?
My cat walked over my keyboard.
No, this didn't type out my current username, more something like "aaaxxt6nnop000" ^^
But a few days later, when I was thinking of a username for a website, "Tastatrukatze", which means "keyboard cat" in german, came to my mind.
Since cats are my spirit animals and I spent a lot of time in front of the keyboard back then, I thought it was fitting enough.
It's indago and gold. That's it. I made it when I was 12. In all the 10 years I never managed to change such a genius name because i'm beyond lazy.
Once upon a time, I was in the US Navy.
My last name is Wagner and, to my horror, there were two others with the same last name. The default nickname for those with the last name Wagner is "Wags". Well:
"Hey Wagner." We all looked up.
"Hey Wags." We all looked up.
So, finally, and since I was the only female in this little group of Wagners (no relation), We had Wagz 1, Wagz A-CO and I got to be Waglmuffin.
The DJ part came later when I was asked to use my CD player to pipe in some tunes at one of our camps in Iraq.
The End
I like uni-sex names and there was a character on Dexter (not the cartoon) that was named Quinn (whomImayormaynothavebeenobsessedwith) so I decided why not XD
This account is listed under a different name, but usually my pen name is 'Orzaika.'
I just kinda looked around my office space and smashed different object names together to get Orzaika. Rather odd, but I've made it into a full brand by now.
Maelstrom was the name of a Redwall fan character I came up with in middle school or something. The character eventually became sort of my mascot for some reason. Now, this was also around the time when my family first got non-DialUp internet, so it was also when I was first starting to really explore los interwebs, and I would often us "Maelstrom" as a name for anonymous forum posts. Eventually, I ended up joining a site that used real usernames. Just plain "Maelstrom" was taking, so I ended up tacking "51210" to the end of it, and the rest was history.
I think the 51210 was influenced somehow by 90210, despite me never watching that show.
