Lessee...
I've had so many different usernames over the years there should be rules against it or studies that prove its bad for the health.
My first username was doomsdayman22, which was just my email prefix. I used this for a while, and it morphed into doomsdaytrainer for the PokeCommunity boards when I signed up there way back when.
My first deviantart account was eclipse-arc, this was around the time I'd started making fan projects; Eclipse being the name of my Sonic character and Arc being the name of my Zelda character. Both were respectively used on forums for a while. The former fell out of use completely after I realised how many other people used it for same and how silly it sounded.
Arc however underwent an evolution of sorts. I liked the sound of Arc on its own, but it wasn't quite all there. So I messed around with alternate additions. Arcorn, Arcurus, Arcammon. Eventually settled on Arcaith. That's pretty much stuck for my Zelda exploits.
Not too soon after, I ended up joining The RWP as an active forumer, and used the name Tee-Hee, my favourite enemy from the Banjo series. Not a whole lot to that one, really.
Somewhere around this time, I left hotmail for gmail, my new secret love, and created the username biobomber. I really liked it, and didn't really have much of a problem with it until I started getting funny looks around the time terrorism became the new buzzword. It hadn't occurred to me to create a different email for potential job applications etc at the time (a 'professional' email), so I switched again.
Sticking on gmail, henna.gaikokujin was born. Japanese. Brilliant move, since I have to spell it out near most every time over the phone. Created my 'professional' email address not soon after. Basically just my first three initials and my surname, punctuated with full stops.
hennahacker evolved from that root of my username, and isn't much of a stretch of the imagination.
Others along the way that I've long lost the place of chronologically are:
Umbra - codename for one of my original characters
BaDOS - Brain and Disk Operating System (my Steam display name)
*MooN* - my current MSN name, starting to stick, might do a complete username overhaul for this one
cactus.cloud - the other contender in the battle with *MooN*
Beagle - can't remember anything about this one, just know it existed once
