For some reason I feel I should post this...
...because I'm certain we've had threads like this before several times.
Anyways...
Back when I was in college, I was the go-to guy for all things video game tips and tricks since there was no internet back then and no GameFAQs and the like. I was called "Gamemaster" by the guys in my dorm as a result. It was also during college that I was working on a weird idea for a paper-and-pencil RPG where you can role play a video game.
When I started working at a web design company, a coworker of mine who was a contributor of the gone but not forgotten Web Site 9 introduced me to MiSTings and by proxy fanfiction in general. I decided to write the backstory to my RPG idea as a fanfic, and...I became something of a net celebrity as a result.
The fic was called "Heroes of Arcadia - The Gamemaster's Legacy", and since then I've been called GamemasterAnthony by my colleges since. (Read the fic, and you'll see why.) I'm actually working on a reboot of my fic series as we speak.

My family has been calling me 'Peanut' since I was born, and I even have friends that do too.
Most of my usernames have either 'Pnut' or 'Peanut' in them. I usually just but a word in front of it. 'Brutal Peanut', 'Astute Peanut', 'Lovely PNut'; stuff like that.

Simple, it's the coolest name ever. If I had a crappy real name (I don't) and I was considering changing my name I would probably change it to this so I could pretend to be offended if people asked whether or not I made it up.
Allow me to recite you a tale:
Once upon a time on a computer long since past, there was a boy who has creating his very first diablo 2 character. But he was in a bit of a predicament, who see he had to choose a character name.
First he tried to name his character "Blob", but naturally it was taken. Undaunted he attempted to name his first character "Pie", but again it was taken a very long time ago. So our hero then displayed some brutal cunning, and combined the two word to create: Blobpie.
The end.

Made it up sometime in the late 90s when trying to think of a fantasy name. I just connected 'dragon' and 'spire'. I recently found out it's also Gannondorf's last name.
Haven't got the foggiest idea why I let my name be a communications device that is painted in a certain primary color.
I remember thinking I was so clever in fifth grade for coming up with "Deathenger" as as portmanteau of "death's messenger." I played Runescape back then, but the character limit made me cut off the a in death. So, Dethenger. I've just kind of been using it like that since.
I've been using this name for my darker mage themed characters in RPG's // MMORPG's.
Guess the name stuck a bit. And yes I used it even before the whole Assasin's Creed hype - Creed means Pact, a bond with something or someone, Ubisoft stole my idea!

Mine has a pretty boring origin, really. About five or six years ago I was desperate for a new screenname. Being in the middle of a Metroid binge, I decided to use Phazon. I also wanted to use alliteration, so I put funky in front of it and replaced the f with a 'ph'.
That's my exciting story of the day.
