I came up with my primary name when I was five.
Because "daisy" ain't exactly the most original thing out there,
I have like forty variations, but they're all daisy.

Thror
I made up the name Thror back when I was 9 or 11 years old. I was creating a barbarian warrior character for a tabletop RPG game similar to D&D. I figured Thor would be a good barbarian name, but wanted to make it a little different, so I made it Thror. I really liked the sound of it when it is pronounced right. Then I joined a forum where players of that tabletop RPG game shared their made-up additions to the game, under the name Thror. I was a member of those forums for some time, and I simply got used to people calling me Thror. Since then, it was my primary name for many online game characters and a whole lot of various forums.
Sidenote: When I can name a singleplayer game character I rarely use it. There are certainly names that sound more cool to me now, especially female ones, and sometimes in singleplayer games, I come up with something roleplayish. When I can, I usually play a female named Lilith, Morrigan or Robin.

About 4 years ago when i started playing wow i had to make an account name for some odd reason i decided to pick the name buzz and attached a few numbers to it. Ever since then i used the name buzz with various combinations of numbers on pretty much every site i frequent.
Fun fact i managed to convince my aunt and uncle to name their Jack Russel terrier Buzz.

I try to use Lan wherever I can but it's too short for Wowhead. :(
I've used Lan since my days in FFXI which was influenced by Megaman and consequently LAN. At least once a week someone would ask if I was a Vietnamese girl or if I read WoT. Since reading WoT, it's reinforced me using Lan.
Lanaden came from someone who was in the guild prior to me joining and I was always referenced as "New Lan." He was an ass so I took his name out of revenge!
LOOK AT ME NOW, LANADEN! I'M USING YOUR NAME! HOW DO YOU LIKE IT!
But seriously, it was "Lan" with a suffix to me. Good enough for account names at least. When I first joined Wowhead, I didn't expect to actually post in the forums.

Well,i had many internet names.But i kept forgeting them.So one day i decided to make a name for everything on the internet,something that no one would even think of.So i started,first ''Killerdimus'' came to my mind.But i figured it was too common.I started thinking on different varations of Killerdimus but that DI in Killer
di
mus was on what my mind focused on.So,from DI i tough Dino.And then i tryed different names of dinosaurs,jurassic-like nicknames.They all seemed too common.
I then started thinking for something entierly different for about 10 mins.During that time my mother was explaining to her friend how horrible it is to have blood taken from you (Yea,she has this thing with Blood.She cant stand Blood).10 minutes passed and i tough of nothing.Then i said to myself ''
Thats is,im imputing something totally random that comes to my mind and so be it!
''.And...that random thing was Killerdinoblood.
And i mean not random like clicking random buttons on the keyboard.Random like,the first thing(s) that come to your mind.

I knew you were a tankadin, that's why I thought that. Not in a derisive way though; I just assumed you were being ironic.

Orannis was the destroyer, an god-like being of magic in the Abhorsen Trilogy. Spelling fail. I might have preferred Yrale, but it was taken.
Other names include Corpseicle, Corpse, Voidherald, Yrale.
