Daft Loon:
I decided to make myself a helmet once from some aluminium sheets and bits of iron from an old chair i think. Because of that helmet and as a pun on Dark Helmet from spaceballs i named myself Daft Helmet in minecraft. While playing minecraft with a mod that let you build movable airships (because of implementation etc not as awesome as it sounds) i built one and named it the Daftloon I - Daft + balloon. When i started playing Guns of Icarus i used Daft Helmsman as my name and named my ships all Daftloon (V through to XI, guessing how many times i had built the Daftloon in minecraft and starting after that). After playing for a while i decided to rename my ships to something more interesting and changed my name to Daft Loon in honor of the old names.

Queso:
My last name is Niederberger. First one to build the logic chain wins internet cookies.

sparklerfish:
My name is Sparky and my DJ name is Anglerfish.  I mushed them together into the portmanteau "sparklerfish".

I can't really explain why it's all lowercase.  I just feel like usernames should be, I guess.  I'm all lowercase on Steam too and everywhere else I have that username.

VomAct:
VomAct is a family name that comes up in several of Cordwainer Smith's short stories (if you haven't read any Cordwainer Smith, I highly recommend it).  Characters that carry the name include the last leader of a cybernetically disenhanced race, a malevolent scientist, and three ruthless and despotic sisters that found the largest and longest lasting government in the history of mankind.

I also took my other main online name from another of his stories, this time from a personality scanned into an electronic form, the Lady Panc Ashash.

Sarabelle Marlowe:
My name stems from a player in game joke that started with the tabletop role-playing game 7th Sea. One of my players characters was named Jeffery Marlowe, a wisecracking swashbuckling thief with a terrifyingly bad cockney accent. Easily one of the best characters we had in a game, so from there my significant other has taken it as a default last name for many characters, I myself keeping with the trend. There is now a family tree of Marlowes that span from 7th Sea to d20 Starwars to D&D to various video games on top of that. So being in a steam punk game, we kept with it.

Sarabelle comes from a combo of some of my favorite characters growing up, Belle from Beauty and the Beast (if anyone tries to make a Twilight reference I will impale you with a loch round and shoot you from my heavy flack as an example to others) and Seras Victoria from the anime Hellsing. The spelling is tweaked, but all together just seemed to flow nicely.
