I'm the curious type. I see screen names everywhere, and I'd like to know (if you're willing to disclose) why you chose your screen name and what it stands for.
I'll start. Avodroc13
Avodroc is my last name spelled backwards and it sounds cool. I was 13 when I made my first email account. I've been using that screen name since I was 13. :D

I like genetics. That's about it.

I always read it as A Noob Ass. xD
My old screen name was ShapeshifterL5. Referencing a book character of my own creation. Shapeshifter because he's a shapeshifter and L5 because he's project L5. There was also an S4, Z3, E2 and A1. The letters stand for their names and the numbers are because numbered projects. Yeah.
So LinkCelestrial? That's ShapeshifterL5's real name. Link from LoZ and Celestrial from a typo of celestial that I liked. Z3 happens to he Zelda. I was very original when I first got into writing. (Sarcasm)
So back in the day it was ShapeshifterL5 and my alts were the others. Now I'm LinkCelestrial pretty much everywhere. Except MAT, where the letter combination tri is banned for some reason. There I'm LinkCelestial.

It's cute that you think you're the hero of this little story...
But you're not.
Welcome to Pandora, kiddos.
AstroGeek.....cuz I'm a geek about space. Like seriously, I need a life.
And 327 because AstroGeek was taken on Minecraft, but the 327-Invisible Hand is General Grevious's starship at the beginner of Star Wars Ep. 3 ;) such a nerd....
Because obsolete farm equipment is cool. And it's even cooler when it's made of ice.
When i first started playing computer games my favorite color was red and my favorite animal a wolf. But as most places would always have redwolf taken i started using wolv, like it changes to wolves when pural. Silly now but 10/11 year old me thought it was cool.

LinkToThePast - I chose this name because I'm a huge Zelda fan, and A Link to the past is my favorite Zelda game next to Ocarina Of Time

I first made the screen name after I decided my last one sucked. 😄
Actually Magician had nothing to do with MtG. I was really into superheroes at 13 and made a whole cast of them with my friends. I was the Magician, basically the most OP Superhero ever. I also for some reason really liked Leetspeak, which converts letters to non-letter characters. See {Magical Hacker}'s flavor text.
1337 is Leet in its own language.
Thus, this screen name came about, it was only a coincidence that Magic became relevant to my name later. I just try to play it off like that's what it's for. It's now my name for pretty much everything.
I was a "deep" kid back when I made this. Luckily everyone just calls me Flicker, and I like that a whole lot more 😅
I've been using the name Remillo on the internet for the past eight or nine years or so, since I started using it as a name for a character on a MUSH. It's as simple as that!
So id play a lot of online games when i was younger and i hit random on character name and it used this. Used it ever since but ive been slowly changing since ive been slowly transitioning (uber religious parents are making it hard) to more feminine names (im trans mtf) :)

I hate parents that force religious beliefs upon their offspring. Luckily my parents gave up, but I know the struggle.

Lord - It sounds cool, as well as implying a position of power.
Flying - Arbitrary adjective making my supposed minions cooler and more powerful.
Guinea - I have a guinea pig as a pet.
Potatoes - What's better than a guinea pig? A guinea-potato of course. (Also I really wanted an excuse to use this image 😉)
I have teo cats one named alador after a less well known knight of the round table and max who is the smallest cat ever. Pic will follow if I get to my computer ever.
Mickeven is my first name and middle names combine. i know not fun. Although my instagramis magictgmike because I strip while I play magic!
My nickname in the army was coletrain. Remove the vowels and you get cltrn. Then i added 81 for my birthyear. I have used this on the interwebs since the interwebs.

Why was that your nickname, may I ask?
Brawler_1337
It's simple, actually. I first started using message boards on GameFAQs, and the reason I wanted to make an account was that I wanted to start posting on the SSB Brawl boards. Of course, being a middle schooler at the time, I thought leetspeak was hilarious, so I figured I'd make myself Brawler_1337. Ha! Get it? Later on, it became my email address, and the name just stuck ever since. It does help, though, that this particular name is almost never taken up on any big services. Hell, I got it first try as my reddit username.

It's a surprise how many people don't use Leetspeak in their usernames, eh 😄

Yeah, these days, it's quite outdated. In the early to mid 2000s, it would've been great, but it seems like it got old really fast.

Well I first got the nickname Coolie when playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon quite a while back because I was trying to make cool a noun :P. And then a while after I set up a Minecraft account but I couldn't plainly get the name Coolie. So I added a 2 at the end and called it good. That's pretty much it. I've been using Coolie2, Coolie, and CoolieCoolster ever since.
Oh boy, where do I start, I guess theravenseye was a sor of philisophical symbol of wisdom that I thought was kind of cool. Like:
"See through the raven's eye and may you find inmer peace" or some shiz like that.
It could also be that somce the raven is a bird and I really like flying.
Partly, I chose the name because of how cool it sounded. I just had to use the Jeskai Banned picture as a sort if tribute to the screen name.
My IRL name
My last name is Eller and it rhymes with feller 2+2=4
My full name is corentin, my brother always called me coco. it became Co2 to fit that old arcade game when you had 3 letter to enter when you made the highscore
Mabb are my initials and 78 is my birth yr. had to come up with somthing for an email address back when hotmail was new. I use mabb78 for almost everything however I got an android tablet a while back and came up with mabb5588 for the gmail account. 5588 is an employee number I had at an old job.
Precious Moment Killer. My wife calls me that when I kill a "precious moment" be it a cute video or whatever. 😈
Ghrom. It is Dwarven name I use mostly everywhere. I own ghrom.com too.
