When a player picks a name they want it to convey a message about themself. It might be who they are or who they want to be ie; to be like Sky the kid. Some pick names like griefer or hacker etc. Then sometimes they log on new servers and immediately get banned instead of making friends. Then they wonder why and say "no fair" well its all about the name. Think about it! What do you want your name to say about you ie a talent of yours like...artistic, or your behavior...friendly, cooperative, rule follower, will be good staff if promoted or Exactly the opposite. So many players ask what do you think of my name? The real question is what do you want others to think of your name because that is most likely the message others are getting.Please respond with a name you saw that stuck out and you remembered for some reason I really would like to hear some names ps I thought of this because today someone logged on my server with a name like "big hacker" I got concernd and thought of banning him before he did anything but he did nothing but play minigames. I then wondered why he choose such a name?

Soooo, MrrMidnight.
Not a long story.
Well, I watched the playthrough of the game Fran Bow on Markiplier.
I got touched by the story of it, it got me good, especially the end of it.
And as some of you may already have guessed, I totally love cats.
The name of the cat in Fran Bow was Mr. Midnight.
I decided to change it a bit to MrrMidnight. Because when you say Mrr seperately it almost sounds like a cat purring. (in my opinion)
So, I decided to stick with this name since I loved it so much.
The story behind the name just was so beautiful, see it yourself on Markipliers channel.
That was it. ;p
Thanks for reading.

I've had a lot of usernames, but I'll just pick randomly from them.

EpixArtist, my first Minecraft IGN, was me being high on myself and thinking I was good at art (I'm not)

Blinque, one of my more recent ones, was a twist on the X-Men character Blink.

Alvermina, another of my recent ones, is the name of a character in one of my favorite book series.

My current one, ItsBenjiii, is a reference to the Mission: Impossible character, Benjamin "Benji" Dunn.

Woah.. everyone has such awesome backstories to their names.

My name comes from my love of creepy-pasta, criminology and slightly weird infatuation with serial killers.

"Emevas" Is "saveme" spelt backwards, it's super simple and that also kinda explains me? I'm a pretty simple person (Now i know i sound like I'm calling myself stupid, cause most of the time i am)

My name also comes from a tv series called "criminal minds" and if you know me, you know i love binging on series. The name is similar to a serial killer from the show.

So yea! Not that interesting..but i enjoyed reading the back stories of peoples names!

Also! My current MC user name is "LostIzellah" it accounts both creepy and me, because Izellah means little princess, and ofc i'm a princess c:.

My username happened to be based off something I had come up with loooong before I ever joined PMC. I had trouble thinking of an intro for my Let's Play practice, and came up with the name Mantaman99. Now, after much thought, I found this username to be quite boring, and looked to find another username for YouTube and things like that. I was just about to give up hope when my 5th grade teacher had us watch a video on the Mayflower. There was only one child born on the Mayflower, and there is still some debate about whether the child was named Oceanus or Oceana. I stuck with the opinion that it was a boy, and that's where the Oceanus part came from. My favourite number (for reasons unknown) is 5000, so I looked for a way to combine them. Now, if you know who Gaiacrusher9 is on YouTube, you can see that her name is pretty cool. I made a mental note of that, and began brainstorming ideas, eventually coming up with my iconic username, Oceanus5000, which I use for just about everything that I can make an account for. ;D And that's the story of my username.

The origin of my IGN, prototype464, came from a show called Prototype This. It was a TV show about these guys who would build these really cool prototypes and make odd vehicles and such. I thought the word prototype sounded cool, and that it fits my personality. Always improving, getting better at the minute, if I fail, I retry and do it better. I decided 464 seemed like a good number choice, so prototype464 was born. My other IGN, LordProto, is a whole other story.

Mine is weird word I made. For NO reason. It just popped into my head. And it stuck. And then I made it into a name for an email account, and then that turned into a username that I would use when I didn't know what else to use, and THEN, the name turned into my Minecraft name. I still don't know why I use the name, probably because I'm too lazy to make a better one.

Also the name does sound weird, and I'm weird, so it's a perfect match

Officerkit's Avatar
My name has a long history behind it. Ever since I was 3, I was playing videogames, but only small ones on things like the vTech console. When I was 5, my brother upgraded me to MapleStory (crappy game), and we collectively decided my name will be Jordkit. Jord, meaningly Jordan, my first name and Kit for my love of the Warriors book series and my love for cats.

Officerkit came from when there was an update in Maplestory a few years ago, Edelstein and there was a huge popular farming monster called Patrol Officer or something. Also, I love the letter O, so I decided "Officerkit" for my second character.

All of my other names (this is my only account on this site) came from different derivations, but they all have kit in them.

My main account is called SilverWarrior_1, for three reasons. Silver is my favorite colour (so is green, but GreenWarrior_1 sounded stupid). Warrior is for one of my favorite book series, Warriors. The 1 is for my birth year, 2001 (and coincidentally 1 is in all of my birth dates [my birth date is 12-16-01 for those of you who would care for some reason]). The underscore means nothing. I just use it as a spacer.
Since my name is so long, I'm usually called mainly silver. It's usually changed into other things, too, such as silv, sil, etc. My nickname on the two servers I go on is Umbreon (the whole word is black but the o is yellow to resemble the yellow rings). So I'm also called umbreon, umb, etc.

My alt is called Infinite_Flight for one reason. I have an idea for a book series, and one of the main characters is the lead singer of a band called Infinite Flight. I thought about it and deemed it a good username (also becuase Infinity_ was taken).
I'm usually called flight or infinite.

Havingfun_ISKEYWarriorCatFan237 has a VERY long history. I started reading Warrior Cats in the fourth grade, and I coincidentally joined Animal Jam (I have no life) in the same year. I just wanted "WarriorCatFan", but it was already taken, and I didn't like any of the suggestions they gave me, so I just slapped in three random numbers to get a catchy name. Technically, though, my name was "warriorcatfan237" because I never bothered to capitalize my name, and then I was stuck with it.

As for Havingfun_ISKEY, this one is just as dumb. More than a year ago, I first watched Jacksepticeye play Five Nights at Freddy's and I fell in love with the game. He is always saying "SPEED IS KEY!" so I modified the statement a bit for my Youtube account name. It was actually HavingFun ISKEY, but when I joined this site, I couldn't do spaces and I didn't bother to capitalize the "F" in my name either.

I think that this one that I currently have, JamesTheGamerTem, is the 4th username I've had. 4th.

My first username was Dinoshark32. It was a username I had for Poptropica, because I liked dinosaurs and the character name was Clean Shark, and since I couldn't think of anything that creative when I joined Minecraft I just used that.

After name changes were announced, I immediately started thinking of new usernames because I didn't like Dinoshark32 very much. (Especially since I found out that Dinoshark was some TV show for reasons I don't freaking know) Then when name changes came out, JamesEnder13 was born.

JamesEnder13 was pretty much combining my real name, Enderman, and 13 together. I liked how it sounded so I stuck with it for a long while.

At one point I made a joke username called King_O_Endermen. It was to joke around with some dude called King_O_Cheese on a server since he said nobody would copy his name like so many people copied the mods. The name lasted until I could change it again.

I reverted back to JamesEnder13, but it was because of some events on Google+ that I changed it at all. I won't go into full details, but I reset my account to get someone off my tail and I had to think of a new name. (He still found me, so it was pretty much pointless)

James the Gamer Dude was the backup username on there that I used, and I soon changed it to James the Gamer Tem since my profile picture was Temmie from Undertale and nobody would stop saying "hOI" to me.

And since I decided for that to be my internet name, JamesTheGamerTem as my Minecraft username is most likely here to stay.

My original username is one I came up with myself a loooong time ago. It was so long ago that Roblox was popular. I wanted to play Roblox, and so I signed up, but I couldn't think of a username. I just decided to use the name of pokemon at the time (Gengar) but it was taken, so I added a little pizzazz to it, Thus, "Gengha" was born. And I was a weird kid, so I was like "It's pronounced Jenga."

As for my recent usernames (Binate and Captor), I chose them because I'm trash and I love Sollux Captor. Somehow the name "Captor" wasn't taken, so I took it. Then I had my other account which was still called "Gliese" at the time - because I was edgy and named it after a star in the Aquarius constellation so I had justification to use an Eridan skin - and I just decided to name it something themed after the number two. Ta-da, now Binate exists, although I'm planning to chance it soon.

I initially had an account named "labyrne" and I named that after an on-going prank against my friend Daymon. Sadly though, someone got into my email and stole my account by getting the purchasing email, changing the email and password, and removing all hope of myself getting it back.

Although I had a spare account to use, VoxelBlox, since I thought that having two accounts was all the rage. I named this one after the game itself, although a lot of people have confused me for the VoxelBox and then scolded me thinking I stole their name, this is not the case. I mean the game is made out of blocks, cubes everywhere, all these squares make a circle, etc. and its a voxel based video game. I was honestly surprised that no one took the name before I did, and I can say that Im glad no one did, I love this name and I love the game.

PS save a hard copy of the code you got from mojang in your email, if someone happens to steal your account somehow, you can always get it back from that, or even demand a refund.
