Mine is SpotlessStar.
It all started in January of 2011. I had started playing chess, so my dad showed me this cool site chesskid.com(which is a mini version of here). And I saw this username on the list. I decided at the time that it sounded great, eventhough I am not spotless, or a star is not "spotless" it sdounded like a good name, and now I take it to mean a Spotless chess Star. Also, in Italian SpotlessStar is ImmacolataStella, eventhough stella is not my real name.

Why were you allowed to use the username you saw on chesskid.com, since it had already been taken?
Caaaaammmm-berrrrrrr.
my chesskid username is quickestglass, because i like speed. the glass part? my pic is a blue glass ball.
My username is awesomechess (obvious) and 1729 (my favorite number: the smallest number expressible by the sum of two cubes in two favorite ways, I read the story about Hardy and Ramanujan and was automatically fascinated by the number).
It was also the tear when Baltimore, Maryland was formed :)

The Italian and English words for "star" probably originate from Latin, though as far as I'm concerned the root for "star" in latin is "astro-" , and occasionally "aster-".

So does the Spanish, estrella. Perhaps it descends from Greek, despite the majority of words in romance languages such as italiano and español descending from Latin.
CAAAAMMMMMM-BERRRRRR!!!
Yup, definitely gone off the deep end. Wheeeeeeeee!

Don't worry, camberfoil, you're not alone. I'm a nerd, too, and I tend to go "off the deep end" about my obsessions.

Done, I killed my own quote. This is what it would look like if I killed a quote.
Where did your username originate? There are many unique, odd, or even downright ludicrous usernames on this site. Some have an obvious reason, some are chess-related, some are personal, some look like they were created when the user faceplanted into his keyboard, and et cetera. Shall we discuss where ours originated? I'll start.
My username, camberfoil, is a combination of the words camber, and foil, short for airfoil. Camber refers to the asymmetry of the upper and lower halves of a plane's airfoil (that's where the foil part comes in). This asymmetry creates a differential in pressure over and below the wing as the aircraft accelerates. Once the speed is sufficient, the pressure differential will grow enough so that the wing is drawn to the area of low pressure, above it, pulling the wing upwards, producing lift. It is, in essence, how a plane flies. Plus I just like saying camber over and over again. Camber. CAM-BER. Camber. Cam-BER. CAM-ber. Caaaaammmm-berrrrrrr. I think I've gone off the deep end.
