For me, it was because "Clips" was the only real nickname I'd ever been given.
I was smoking a big ole joint on a hill with a bunch of girls during my first week of college and when it got down to a roach, I busted out a keychain that was a pair of roach clips that was made to look like a little butterfly knife. One of the girls, who I'm still friends with, lawled and said, "Oh my God! Your name is now 'Clips'! Everyone call him 'Clips' now!"
In my two years at that school, I met a lot of people and some didn't even know my real name aside from "Clips"! lol. I don't smoke weed anymore though.
How about you guise??

its my name
"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."

I figured that not many people would connect "stealthy" as an adjective for "swimmer" so I put stealth_swimmer together cus I figured nobody else would have it, so therefore I wouldn't have to worry about creating a username AND remembering numbers after it. And indeed, there have only been a few places I've come across on the internetz where the name is already taken.

It's what my mom and dad named me.
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."~Benjamin Franklin
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."~Thomas Jefferson

I was at a retaurant one day, enjoying some steak, and this bald white guy walked in and told the waitress "get me a table bitch." I thought it was funny because the waitress really was a bitch. So anywa he looked like Brian Urlacher, and he made me lol, which a lot of people can't do, so I went up to him and said, "holy ****, you look like Brian Urlacher, and you told that bitch to get you a seat. That made me lol!" And he said "lolwut?...I am Brian Urlacher...hey you should sign up on bb.com and make your username Urlacher54."
So that's the story of my username.___________________________________________________

My last user name here was xXBiggieXx and the name biggie comes from my first ever username on the internet which was "Bigfoot", Roxie shortened That to "biggie" along time ago and I've gone by it ever since.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same...
