Usernames or less commonly known as Handles were originally used in the radio community as a way of identifying radio license holders for example (Lewis RingwayManchester is M3HHY) These handles where linked to your radio license so that Offcom can track who is making broadcasts and to tell anyone off who was not following the rules proper.

When the Internetz came about people needed a way of identifying people and as there used to be somewhat of a crossover between radio hams and computer engineers they decided to use the same identifying data that they use in the ham world.

Then the Movie Hackers came out in the 90s just as the internet was becoming mainstream and then was born AcidBurn and ZeroCool soon to be followed by Neo and Morpheus.
