Origins of Internet Personality Names

[Cobol]

There are internet reviews online who grab your attention by having odd names, One I'll point out is Total Biscuit:

Total Biscuit's name likely referances a scene from the Discworld novel "Carpe Jugulum" where a witch is talking about unfortunate baby names and mentions one such baby being named "Total Biscuit"

Now there are a lot of Internet personalities out there with stranger names like Bebopvox and Jacksepticeye. I have to ask where the hack do some of these stranger names come from, If you do know post their origin below.

I like Riddick, Vin Diesels Knife Witchhunter from the Pen & Paper game Dungeons & Dragons, He made his Charakter come alife with the Riddick series, just great :)

[bronze age pervert]

I put two random words together and bam, a username.

[Daydream Uzume]

I got my name from my interest in computers. A server is a type of computer. And sometimes they crash. So that's how I came up with 'Server-Crash'.

[Mr. Light]

I made my username up by combining my last name and the username one of my friends used to use.

Mine is based off mai maifus last name.

Some are just word play, for example, Pewdiepie is supposed to be "cutie pie"

That's not what PewDiePie said. He said it was "pew, die" like a gun, and then he added pie to the end after some incident with the original name.

[Toad Mooks]

I got a nickname after playing a large game of risk with some friends(Mix of the boards of normal and godstorm version). After our team was doing badly I managed to attack from 3 different fronts taking out Atlantis, a bit of Africa, South America and Australia, I destroyed 4 bonuses from being made that turn and possibly saved our team. (we won)
they nicknamed my play "Stephen's Run"
and I've been nicknamed "The Runner"
