Mine wasn't. I wanted to be Reptile like the secret fighter from Mortal Kombat, but there was another Reptile on my first IRC server, so I went by Reptile2.

he's just giving you a (You) cause that post comes off like that anon thinks he has never done anything cringe. its more of an insult cause instead of being here for the conversation you are here to get alternative upboats ((You)s in this case)
I've done plenty of embarrassing things, but there was nothing embarrassing about the first username I picked.
I don't understand your point, though. You're saying instead of being here for the conversation, I come off like I'm here to get replies. Isn't replying to each other the essence of conversation?
>I don't understand your point, though. You're saying instead of being here for the conversation, I come off like I'm here to get replies. Isn't replying to each other the essence of conversation?
replying is okay but it comes off like you are trying to get many replies thats why he responded like that. Trying to farm (You)s is a thing here. You gotta read the room anon. this thread is about usernames you made when you were a kid that are embarrassing when you look back but you jump and the thread and are like "heh yeah never done anything embarrassing". You are anonymous here and have nothing to prove because of this yet come into a thread and try to seem cool.

I'd undergo two more handle changes in college, three if I'm counting the side name my friends call me.
My first mmo username was Thief Master because I was a thief
My first internet username that wasn't my name was Slasher3553 (just randomly chose numbers)
Then Knives because of Trigun
Then Slashex and a few others, not going further than that because all the preceding names are now defunct on Google, kek
I still use the same handles.
I still listen to the same music.
I'm not ashamed of anything I've liked in the past, I never had le cringe phase.
Feels good to be an actual person with an actual personality and culture instead of a rootless zoomer.
I'm 30.
Based but you're also a fricking homosexual implying you were never embarassed by things you did as a child or teenager when in reality you just passed the phase where you still care.
>Pokemon[year of birth]
Aol. I didn't choose that one. But not bad for a 9 year old at the time. The second one I created for aol was a pun of time crisis with my real name. I still like that one, but it's only uses for archival purposes nowadays.
The one I've had since 2006 had to be retired in 2021 due to the first three letters being racist to some ethnic group in England and couldn't use it in new games anymore + too many people from an old forum I used to attend know me from there. Now it's just random stuff to stay rogue forever
Funnily enough my first handle is the one I settled on and have been using for a few years now, I went through a bunch of cringe ones inbetween though.
My first youtube channel on the other hand... i am vomit
My first acc name was just the first three letters of my real name repeated. It's probably less cringe than combining random parts of the names of some ancient gods, which is what I do now.
I've only ever had one nickname and i've been using it for over 20 years at this point. It's not particularly amazing, but i kept it because it was given to me by my uncle when i was a wee lad, it just kind of stuck.
I was watching full metal alchemist the original series at the time. I remember someone yelling at me about Hitler in old garrys mod at the time and had no idea who he was and said "Man someone should invade Germany and kill him like they did Saddam Husein" and that set them off even more.
I never had one until I was already an adult and past my cringe teenager phase. So no, I don't remember because it never happened. Sorry you crumple into a ball remembering your childhood though, sounds tough.
>Be kid me, obsessed with a cartoon >One character in particular >Don't know how to spell it, sound it out for my username and call it a day >Years later I realized it's spelled a totally different way >Still spell it incorrectly and use it everywhere to this day
People who do weekly name changes on steam and such are lame. Ride or die on that cringe boys, it's a reflection of who you really are. Ain't nothing cooler than a man who's not afraid to be himself.
TheSolidLiquid in Call of Duty back when you could change your name at any time and even make it different colours. Sounded badass to a 10 year old killing Germans in Carentan.
>Only had Nintendo consoles so I never had to give up a name >My first non-Nintendo console was a used Xbox 1 i got for 80 bucks >just called myself anon with my birthday at the end
Granted, I wanted to call myself Deadshot in Minecraft, but my Dad wouldnt allow it lmao
mine was animeis4f4gg0ts, xbox live banned me though
classic fascists ruining everything good
Absolutely no difference between this website twitter and reddit

It was childish but I don't think I used that account to play online. I was scared of internet strangers.
I still use mine because it wasn’t cringe and just random letters
I’ve been using the same name online for almost 2 decades now.
Mine was literally Xx_04_98_[initials]_xX
The 4 & 98 were my birth month and year respectively
I eventually switched to a pun involving my surname but that was pretty lame as well
Now I just do random shit
i used to just use my name but it was a little too unique so now i try using whatever generic name i can think of at the time
>remembering all those posts you signed off with a cringe quote or song lyric
WAKE ME UP
BEFORE YOU GO GO
DON'T LEAVE ME HANGING ON LIKE A YOYO
I've been using the same name since the 90's, which is just my initials + a couple vowels to make it pronounceable.
I've been using the same username since the Big Bang.
what are you doing in a vidya thread?
Mine was a nickname I had in school followed by 1337, though I don't cringe that hard thinking about it because my group of friends all did that.
Are you me? Thats literally how it went until I just started naming things for online usage until a few years ago.
The thing I cringe the most about now is making macros in WoW that shouted Naruto ninjutsu moves when casting fireballs and shit.

#1stunna
my first name was demonbunny911
thats a god tier name
That's hot.

I only used 4 nicknames in my life
The last one I still use I created around 2015 when looking at my monitor's name and the number on the top left
Chaos_Dragon5
Yep its gaming time
My first online handle was just my literal full name. I wasn't a particularly bright kid.
Literally me. But thats because steam used your email name as your username by default
It was mediocre but I've had nothing but kino handles since
>myname64
he looks like a proper friend
i think it was something like dragonfighter24 but my current handle is much more lame
My handles only grew more cringe with time. I play exclusively offline now.
I miss old usernames. Steam usernames are now either stupid current memes or one word names like "Sunny".
Literally bill
I still use the same handles.
I still listen to the same music.

Shame you're a newbie, huh?
>Old online handle is the name of my favorite cartoon
Hey at least it's a good conversation starter
I had once a nickname after a certain character from a cartoon
and got banned for it because that character was popular and admin had a simmilar name
>blindly join online game
>username I picked is one letter off the name of an in-game god
nah my first handle kicked ass, it was crunchyinmilk at the aol
i dont know what the frick its a handle but my first nickname was Manson

Frick, I'm glad I changed it

>VashtheStampede01
nah it wasn't that bad
>in5an3
>>you now remember how stupid and cringe you first online handle was
Nope, still have it. Simple 4 letter nickname
I've only ever had one nickname and i've been using it for over 20 years at this point. It's not particularly amazing, but i kept it because it was given to me by my uncle when i was a wee lad, it just kind of stuck.
>yfw you still use the same two usernames youve used from day one.
