How did you come up with your usernames/channel names?

I am having trouble coming up with a username for a vlog channel. Originally I am thinking of LinsVlog but I dunno ._. just seems very typical. As in, it is not very unique/catchy, or am I overthinking?

I noticed that an LPer I really liked was doing a Ustream, so I decided to join, and I didn't have a Ustream account, and the YT name I was using at the time was just a bunch of gibberish pretty much, so I decided to make a new name for Ustream, and I was really into Metal Gear at the time, so I came up with LiquidSolidus. Then when the time came around that I wanted to do new videos of my own, I made a new account, but LiquidSolidus was taken, so I threw 9000 at the end.

Mines kind of sinister, hail the rapture, not as in hail (the precipitation). To greet the rapture (end of the world Biblically) with enthusiasm.

My channel name originally came from my Xbox Live account name. How I came up with JuicyHippoTime? Well... I'm not entirely sure myself haha. In the end, just go with whatever you want. I think that content, in the long run, will be more important than a username ever will be!

i had a youtube channel a few years before called Puto Productions. fast forward a couple of years and we're trying to do youtube again under a new name. we wanted to keep it asian-ish, eventually coming up with futons. from there, we added a cool suffix, and here we are! Futonics!
