How did you come up with your username?

In 7th grade, my history teacher jokingly said that that I should run for president and my name would be "Quamax." He even printed out a picture of a air max shoe and put Quamax on it lol
 
My username on YouTube is UberDan and I really have no idea how it happened. Dan is my name, but the Uber part, who the heck knows. I think it's because I thought it meant lots of. But not the case.
 
I didn't want to use my real name so I chose a name that sounds American but can be derived from a Mexican name. I mean, Mark can be Marcos, right? And thus Mark Rodriguez is born.
 
My username started when I was younger trying to get a psn username. I was drunk and everything I was putting in was taken. In the end I put in boss4eva as a joke and that was taken. So I added numbers on the end of boss4eva thinking that psn was messing with me. And next thing I know my psn is boss4eva. I have a lot of trophies under that name so can't really start a new account. Was ashamed and embarrassed by it for years but when it came time to start my own channel I decided to own my name and make it all the bossman. I'm still not 100 percent on it though and realise how ridiculously sh*t it is.
 
Mine started back before the internet became a thing and bbs's were still massively popular. Back then I was certainly a geek and RPG/Strategy game enthusiast, one of my favorite games back then was Battletech, and I designed so many different mechs that I literally had a binder full of them. When I got a computer that was capable and was getting bored with the small local systems I was using, I signed up for an account, but the name I was using for my nickname was taken, so I took the name of one of the battlemechs I designed, the Norsehawk.

Battletech geek stuff ahead be warned. Back then, the weight limit for LAM mechs was not clearly defined as being 55 tons, And I saw other LAM mechs like the wasp, stinger, and Phoenix Hawk all had LAM versions. There was also the Shadowhawk. Well, one of my favorite standard mech designs was the Warhammer (side note, another game I spent way too much money on). So I wanted a Warhammer that could fly. So I designed a super efficiently designed 70 ton monster of a mech, that had lightning cannons on its arms, short range missiles, and could transform into a jet or half jet half robot combination and smite people from the sky with lightning. The Norsehawk.

Other names I use for individual character names come from characters I played in Everquest back in the day too. Krogg Gnomestomper, Thorgryn, Zalan, Yuuichi Trapspringer, and Kenza just to name a few.
 
It's my first name! Original right?! I wanted my channel to be personal so I just used my firstname since Google gives you the ability to pick usernames that are already taken! So everyone can name themselves Duncan because why wouldn't you? Right?
 
Well my name is Kelsey, but I didn't want my name to be my channel name lol. So I combined Pokemon with the closest thing to my name since I have a gaming channel.

I came up with Kanto lol
 
Gaijillionaire is a combination of two words. Gaikokujin (foreigner in Japanese) and jillionaire (or zillionaire) the richest possible person. So the idea is like a rich( or the richest ) foreigner in Japan. Except no everyday foreigners are rich so the best you can do is be someone who enjoys life. Actually some videos I've done make fun of Japan being too expensive and finding bargains. One more point is the price of everything adds two zeros to the number. Example $100 =10000 yen. So talking to people who don't know this makes me sound rich too
