    I was trying to come up with an instagram name, and I was thinking of cheetahs, but I wanted an atteration. So, I thought of the animal leopard. I didn't know anything about it, but It was leopard_lover65, then leopard_lover21. I needed a username for mc, so I remembered my old instagram username, and yea. Leopard_Lover21 was born.

    Lol, this is like the 20th thread I've seen this xD. Anyway, I got my name through random words and numbers. First word that came into my mind, Nether. First number, 0. Nether + 0 = Nether0 xD

    Sorta a long story. So, I was playing this Pokemon RPG game called ThePokemonLeague (it was shut down as it wasn't licensed by Nintendo) and my username was Sean46. I next then played Club Penguin. I tried making my account under Sean46 again. Taken. Hmm... Sean64. Taken. Sean4646. Taken again. Ninja46. Taken once more. Ninja4646. Again. Ninjaman46. AGAIN. Ninjaman4646. FINALLY I could create an account. I was really attached to the name so I used it for my MC account.

    I had extra money after I bought Minecraft, so I bought my favorite soda. I used to be extremely obsessed with Coca-cola, so I named myself VinceofCoke.

    I used to play this game called panfu (idk if you've heard of it) and, being the kid I was, and the game being about pandas yey c:, I tried to name myself KungfuPanda241 but, taken, then tried Kungfu_Panda, taken, then it suggested Kungfu241, and I used it. Then when I was buying minecraft I was in a rush so I had to quickly think of an ign so I looked through my memoriez, searching for a username I used in a past game that didn't make me sound like a complete retard lol (because all of my other accounts, club penguin etc. sounded so childish, just like this username xD) so just used that username
