Mine is complicated:
It started when I got my Lego.com account. I wanted clonecommando, but that was taken. It said that you could add 4777 to the end to make it work. I accepted that.
I used that name for everything. After reading and playing the Star Wars republic commando stuff, I shortened my name to a commando serial number, RC_4777. That became the ID of my custom multiplayer character. So now that is my Internet and game name.
Star Wars ftw!

It's a long story and I really can't be bothered to type it all again.
Basically:
Brother became obsessed with unnamed teddy who had a pink rhino horn, pineapple pants and was awesome.
I started calling it "Gar guh" or something (was very young) and hence forth he was christened:
Gaga.

Many of my childhood memories were playing games about this teddy, from his magical pants to his super en powered nose. Eventually, when I was about .. 8-10 my brother got into Runescape. The first time he required a username was then and he was stumped.
I was all like "gur gur! GUR GUR!" But the character limit was six or something so he had no choice but to name it Gagaking.
About six months later, he finally set an account up for me.
Now, I begged for a name like his so he gave me:
Gagaking2 :p

Both accounts were hacked, we moved on to different games but the name stuck. It was always Gagaking something, seeing as my brother always took "Gagaking". It was not once taken in tookany game I played so yeah..
I then found minecraft. My brother hadn't touched the game so Gagaking was open.
I took it.

I made a forum account called Gagaking.
Forgot password.
Made another called Gagaking!
Forgot password.
Made this one.

Here you have XxGagaxX.

PS. All typed from Ipad, gimme some credit for skipping bits. This was the SHORT version.

...why the chain part?
I am the kind of artist that embraces creativity completely unaffected by others.
I was actually thinking of calling me "UnchainedPheonix" or "ArtisticFreedom", but I end up with this.
My steam account is a bit ironic, since I made it later than my MC user. It is "ChainDevelopment". c:

It's a play on my name, which I'd rather not have out in the public xD

It's a name you'd only ever have in Ireland, if you're thinking I must have a Strang name

My username is kinda boring... I was like 9 when I made it. I have had matt90008 as a forum account name for a long time. And I couldn't get a Minecraft account for a bit. And when I finally did. I was so excited that I went ahead and didn't even think about the name.

Here I am... boring matt90008....

The only excuse I can use for it is OVER 9000!!!!!
