Emperor Vindicare
Vindicares are bad-a** assassins from the 40k lore, when I was younger I got a minecraft account and called it; vindicare_boss (no caps unprofessional I know). Eventually my clan became very powerful so I changed it to Lord_Vindicare. I play a lot of strategy games like total war and CKII, and I always go for the legendary achievements like Imperator or Its better to be the Emperor. So I decided to change both my steam and youtube name to Emperor Vindicare. Also I have an underlying theme in my videos of 'forging an Empire' while I play, not really of course, just to add a little flavor to things.

Well, A bunch of friends and I made our names "Rez (Name here)" So while we were trying to come up with funny things we somehow got into the conversation of sex. We are teenage guys so it should not surprise you. So after that I decided that RawDawg would be the best/most appropriate name to use as a username
Life_of_Tygo
Liking YTtalk
Life of Tygo, just simply comes from the fact that my channel is about things going on in the life of my dog, named Tygo.
The8BitMonkey
Liking YTtalk
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.

Celsus
I Love YTtalk
Pretty basic story for me really, A friend came up with The Profane Prophet for me while watching a video I made when I first started thinking about running a channel, Since my name they gave me had prophet in it I decided to use a appropriate name "Celsus" was a Greek philosopher that I like and identify with so I picked his name as my pen name.
