Interesting question. When I joined Bitcointalk, I was struggling to choose my username. I wanted to have cool username which would be easy to remember. But I didn't wanted to use my nickname which I use on other forums, because I wanted some privacy and I wanted to separate my crypto activities from my other hobbies.
I decided to use "LTU", what is abbrevation of my country Lithuania. I wanted to show that there is some crypto enthusiasts from my country. And then I just added "btc" to my nickname. But some people here call me just LTU. I don't use this username anywhere else, except few other crypto forums.
But if I would sign up on Bitcointalk now, I'm not sure that I would pick same nickname.

Since this is for fun only, I wonder why it isnt int the offtopic board?
Anyways my name diced90 was actually the common password I used for many gambling portals. I have changed my password a long time ago so you need not try to hack me. Besides no one knows my email haha.

My username is my real name. I always write my name as A.k. Amit unless there is a need to write it in full.
But I really didn't want to have this username here when I signed up in this forum on my first visit on 24th Feb 2016. I actually didn't know at that time that I can have my username in TitleCase or UPPERCASE or something like Bitcoin World (with space) or in a fancy way. I thought that it should be in lowercase with no spaces and special characters, the same as elsewhere in most sites at that time and it was very common.

My user name is nothing special either and glad to see that some used their real names as the user name, i have used my real name and while registering i was not thinking much and if i had the opportunity again i would have changed that.

I started mining with GPUs at the end of 2013 when Bitcoin already had ASICs so the stuff I could mine profitably was mainly some Scrypt altcoins including Doge.

When I started getting interested in Bitcoin, I wanted to improve my privacy. So I used a random name generator to create "Loyce Valenzuela", only to find out much later "Loyce" is a female name.
But it grew on me, first because "Valenzuela" rolls nicely off the tongue, and now because "everyone" knows me as LoyceV.

When I started with crypto, I used a random name generator and ended up with Loyce Valenzuela. It took me a while before I realized it's a women's name. More specific: according to Google image search it's a black women's name.
It's been more than 4 years, and the name has grown on me

(just kidding)There is nothing special with my username
. "Khaled" It is my last name and as it was already taken, I added the date of my birth 01/11

I've been using DireWolf for a long time, but I took a break from it when a friend of mine coined another for me. Since DireWolf is often taken, I added the "M14" to make it unique.
DireWolf comes from one of my favorite songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1-ieYykDzY
The M14 is my favorite rifle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M14_rifle

Assman and tittyman were already taken - so went with T(itty)Man instead

I registered in the forum long back when i got involved in BTCitcoin but was not able to remember the password and never posted anything as far as i remember and i just removed the R and ended up using eaLiTy when i registered again because new projects were posting the contents here and hence i thought it was time to register again in this forum and after that i am here

At the time of my registration here, i was totally new to bitcoin and crypto. For me Bitcoin was a great thing, it is still great for me though. I was too much excited and enthusiastic about bitcoins, and the name which i choose was from that love and inspiration from bitcoins.

Back then I didn't really think seriously on the name. I clearly didn't imagine I'll still have same account on the same forum after more than 5 years. Now I'd clearly pick something which at least is not subject to copyright 
NeuroticFish is the name of a band. A band from which I like the music and also its name.

I just used my real name to register. My name is Umer Idrees so i just combine the both words and registered like a good boy.
The reason behind using the real name was that if there is ever KYC here, it will be easy for me to pass it.

OK, I'm going to lose all my credibility with this message. Anyway.
I didn't have a nickname dedicated to Bitcoin/cryptos and at the time of my inscription here, I didn't get any inspiration.
Halab is half of one of my nicknames I used during my MMO period.
My full nickname is Halab Hagar, which is a "wordplay" that in french gives "A la bagarre", which could be translated as "In the fight".
Halab Hagar didn't suit to the atmosphere of this forum, so I only chose Halab.

I also used a random name generator and got the name TryHard, which was already in use in some of the websites I was registering at, so my friend told me to try "TryNinja" instead, since it has something to do (Try The Ninja) with a game we played at the time. 
There are also some variations of that name I use on some other websites.

My biggest passion & hobby is Liverpool Football Club so with a total lack of imagination when I signed up in 2014 I just put LFC (as an abbreviation of the above) & Bitcoin together. It had to be something I’d remember so there we go, simple yet effective

Can i get a chance from @theymos to change my username with my game nickname, I don't have 50 BTC to change the name xD.
This username is my name at the internet but still contains my real name. Went i register to the forum i don't know the username will be my nickname forum, I thought we can set up a name forum at the profile.
You can if you have very convincing reasons. Without 50 BTC, you still can ask for change on your username. You know what? I knew that there is one user who get acceptance from admin to change his/ her username. More shockingly, that is a woke up user. Nevertheless, he/she has convincing reasons, because of the original username is highly correlated with his/her real names that used on other platforms. After years of inactive, he/she came back and ask for username change and privacy protection. Less than 24 hours or 2 days in maximum, that account username changed to a random one with randomly chosen letters and figures.This username is my name at the internet but still contains my real name. Went i register to the forum i don't know the username will be my nickname forum, I thought we can set up a name forum at the profile.
I only remembered about that user but I don't know which is that one because I did not bookmark it.

Logfiles was just some random name that came up as i was registering
I've been using this name for a long time, its kinda unique. Although some users mistakenly pronounce it as CANNIBALISM LoL.
Hahaha Not gonna lie, i always think of cannibalism whenever i see your name

Interesting topic. I'm not sure when I first heard the phrases 'pearls before swine' but it was more than 20 years ago, because I had used it in casual conversation once that I remember back in 1999 or so. It comes from the bible, tho I'm almost certain that's not how I came across it.
The meaning of it is basically that you shouldn't waste your talents on people who are incapable of appreciating them, so one should not cast pearls (valuable things) before swine (idiots). I have always had a liking for the phrase, so that's why I chose it as my username.

For me I will share why I have chosen "Coolcryptovator" username for bitcointalk.
Thank you for sharing that. I've seen many of your posts around and I *have* wondered what your username meant.
