Whats the story behind your channel name?

I thought about what my celebrity name would be if I was a singer or something. So I used my first name Nyah and I've always loved the name Sky and decided to combine them. Nyah Sky.
 
Parody (our original channel concept) + Dee (my wife's name) + Jay (my name).

Plus it kinda sounded like "D.J." which worked out well.

Sorcery!! :)

I've seen a few people asking for help with their channel names and it got me wondering how did everyone else come up with their channel names?

My channel is The8BitMonkey, the name came about after a good long week of writing down a load of different names that I could go by but in the end I just went with a name that meant something to me.

So the story, with regards to "The8Bit" part, I have always had a love from video games and my first ever console was the Atari 2600jr, I would spend hours playing that thing and still do to this day, it was such a big part of my childhood that I couldn't imagine being where I am now without it, so thats where "The8Bit" part comes from.

Now as for the Monkey part well, I was born in a small fishing town in the North East of the UK called Hartlepool which has a rather odd legend to it, back in the Napoleonic War a french ship crashed up against the rocks at our coastline, the wreckage soon made it onto the beach and with it a small creature dressed in a sailor's outfit, now since we were a small town with little contact with the outside world we had never seen a monkey before and all of our images of the french had been caricatures in the newspapers, so we assumed that this creature was a french spy and proceeded to interrogate it on the beach but because it wouldn't answer any of our questions we hung it...yes, stupid I know, anyway ever since those days people from Hartlepool have been known as Monkey Hackers and to the older generation it's still classed as an insult but most of the younger generation have learned to embrace it, including myself, these days I go by Monkey as a name with my friends and that's where the monkey part of my username came from.

Hartlepool Legend (Google it,I can't link)

So yeah, thats where my name came from, I would love to know where all you names came from.

I wanted a YouTube channel that focused on only providing copyright free and creative commons media for YouTubers ( and for myself for other channels I have) so I wanted a name that covered other things like video graphics, maybe intros, particle effects, templates ect... rather than just music..so Mediacharger came to mind after a lot of different ideas. Charge your media!...could also be something you charge your phone with, but it worked.
 
Badly.

Badly is how I chose my channel name.

Haha idk tbh I'm not that happy with what I chose but it was something that we just committed to at an earlier stage in the channel, but oh wow. How pretentious this name feels. "Look at us. We have a 2 that really means to"

Blegh
 
My real name is Vuk, which in my language means wolf, so when i started my channel I was going to go for the name Wolfy, but there was one guy that was a graphic designer with that name, so I had to come up with an alternative.... and that's how i came up with Wolfieh. Yea I know, it's not that interesting
 
When I was 8 or 9 I really liked the game MapleStory. At the time I needed a channel to comment, like and subscribe to people I like because going to their channel pages every time wasn't efficient. I decided on MapleStream because Maple for MapleStory and Stream from video streaming. Yeah but no one thought the same way I did and always assumes I was talking about the body of water. Now I grew past MapleStory and I'm stuck with the name rip.
 
Mine is pretty simple. My name is actually my full name... R.O.N. which I decided to spell out when pronounced ( Ar-Oh-En)
 
When I was a kid I used to gurgle a lot.
So people called me Grg for a big part of my life lol.

Grgak just came from convenience since you can type it with one hand with ease.
