Speaking of "cyberspace," my first handle was Haxor0mega. I am not proud.
EDIT: My current handle is, admittedly, only marginally better, but I'm kind of stuck with it. A lot of people call me Keats in meatspace, due to an incident at RIT.
Variations on HeadlessClown were the first ones that stuck. I'm slowly transitioning toward using my meatspace handle (I believe the primitives call these "names") as my online handle, but there's some various stuff (Steam account name, Skype handle) that I can't change. Also, I'm a bit privacy obsessed.
I had just recently played Ika-chan, and remembered reading in a manga's translation notes that "-tono" is an alternate for "-dono". So, I put it together to get "Ikatono", or "Lord Squid". Unless you're someone I know in real life, in which case the answer is "it's a thing" and an abrupt change of subject.
I went by MageLord20 on AOL briefly when I was still in elementary school. I played some Dungeons and Dragons mud.
Hobocop for a bit with my friends on first person shooters.
Then I invented the name "Mr. Creamsteak" and went with that for a long time. It was meant to be absurd originally, a mockery of my friend who was "Dragon Sniper" and then "Draco Sniper".
I've explained the name away multiple different ways. At one point, it was another name for the fragged bits left over when someone was gibbed. In reality though, it's just an arbitrary pair of words picked because it didn't really mean much of anything. And I drew a stickfigure comic and named it after it.
Some people seem to feel obligated to tell me it's a sexual thing. They're wrong, and occationally it annoys people, but it's not usually a huge concern.
I always assumed it was like the southern friend steak with cream and pepper gravy.
A friend of mine did make a recipe for it once. It was utterly blasphemous. Something like taking a steak, covering it in cream cheese, battering it, and then frying it in butter.
Well, in this context, he was playing one of his characters. In this particular case, it was "Missouri Joe". Like a gruff smelly meth-addled redneck version of Paula Dean... sort-of...
My first first name, back on AOL when I was in 6th grade, was KatyTeal, which was because I liked the name Katherine and was almost named that, and I liked the color teal. The second one was ironinu (iron dog) which I chose because of a character in a young adult novel called Iron Dog.
I went through half a dozen terrible names that were totally fucking awesome from the perspective of an adolescent. There were dragons and numbers and shit. Swords maybe? Like draconmancer666 or something like that.
My name is Matt and I liked the band name RATATAT a lot, then I started making music and I thought of that for some reason so I switched it to MATATAT.
I also use Kholdstare99 sometimes since MATATAT is often taken.

Yes, I'm aware it's terrible.

I was very 14, once.
