How did you get your username?

[ninetales]

I invented mine out of random thoughts. I wanted a unique name, for art reasons.

 

[SAF]

As for myself, I simply use my name, but not without a twist: merging the last letter of my first name and the first letter of my middle name. In this case, it's the last "A" from "Sania" and the first "A" from "Anisa", hence "SaniAnisa".

 

[Solar]

My original forum name solarlunarxiii came from my love of the juxtaposition between the sun and moon—light and darkness—two opposite forces living in harmony. XIII came from Organization XIII in Kingdom Hearts. I shortened to Solar because people were calling me that, and I loved the name and what it meant to me. I was also tired of people saying "hey solarlunar"/"hey solarluna"/"solarlunarxii" so I wanted to make it known that HERE—I am Solar

 

[Dizzy]

I change my username a lot. I can never really decide on one. However, I decided to be 'cool' and go with the trend of one word quick names, and decided on the silliest one I could come up with. Seriously, how many of you would want to be associated with dizziness?

 

[Nuuk]

nuuk is the capital of greenland and idk i just like it

originally my name was pizzey i dont remember why as that was now over a decade since i came up with it, probably it was because it was close to lizzy but just different enough. nuuk was also my fictional gay sun with rainbow hair initially.

when i "came back" to the internet after a year or two i decided to start going by nuuk instead as it was a bit more androgynous as i dislike making my gender obvious to people im not close with

 

[fancy_213]

My current username is supposed to represent my love of turtwig and snivy, but my old one is just my cat's name.

 

[DeepSeaPrincess]

My username represents my love of fairy tales and the ocean. I guess it's a continuation of my old ones, haha.

 

[Thundawave]

Mine came from being bad at nicknaming Pokémon. When I was about thirteen, I needed a nickname for my Shinx. Being the uncreative person I was, I was going to nickname it Thunderwave - but the ten-character limit existed! So the "er" just got shortened to an "a." It worked out much better as a username than a nickname when I started creating accounts on Pokémon sites.

I have since gotten better at nicknaming my Pokémon. Maybe.

 

[Bones Barlow]

Copypasted from my AMA:

'Bones' is just because skeletons, while 'Barlow' is a reference to one of my favorite novels, Stephen King's "Salem's Lot", where the main villain is named Kurt Barlow. I came up with it during a brief period where I considered using it as a pen-name for writing horror since it's honestly more believable than my actual name, and it grew on me fast when I started using it online.

It's gotten to the point where I think of myself as Bones as much as I do my actual name, and I'm kinda fine with that.

 

[Diarkia124]

I thought it was super cool and creative to combine the name of Dialga, Palkia, and Darkrai since they were the title Pokemon in The Rise of Darkrai. Then I thought it would be cool to add numbers so typed out 3 random numbers and 124 was the result.

 

[Kirichaki]

Now that I had finally come up with a username instead of just my actual name a few weeks ago I decided I wanted to use it on here too. Basically, this name is a mixture of my three favorite characters of the Danganronpa series, Kirigiri, Chiaki, and Maki. I love the way the word Kirigiri sounds which is why I decided to use Kiri instead of Kyoko despite using the first names of the other two.

i came to this thread to ask you where the new name came from lol. chiaki is precious

 

[Reunilu]

For a while, my username was ssshaymin. Something about the scene in Giratina and the Sky Warrior made me think that naming a boat after Shaymin was cool. So, S. S. Shaymin.

My current username came from a journal that I read from an artist on deviantart. She doesn't exist anymore since she had a habit of stealing art ideas or something like that, all I remember now is that she illustrated a cover for a Touhou circle called Babbe. Anyway, she said that a name for herself was cute and sometime later I was trying to come up with a new username and remembered that journal + I really like Reuniclus. So I took some of the consonants out of Reuniclus and made my username.

 

[Fafrir]

My previous username was Scrafty because it was (and still is) my personal favourite Pocket Monster and I thought it would be fun to have a Pokémon name on a forum. Nowadays, I just wanted a change as I felt it can be restricting in terms of matching avatar choices.

My current username is the combination of Fafnir and Fenrir, two creatures from Norse mythology. I decided to use it fourish years ago because I prefer shorter usernames without numbers and I use it almost everywhere.

 

[Coldnx]

Well, my name is a combination of just the word 'Cold' and the last two-letters of Jynx's name. 'Cold' because I like winter scenery and Ice-type Pokemon and 'Nx' for JyNX. It's nothing special, but it's interesting how all you have to do to create a nickname is sit down, take some time and mix around a bunch of words and form your own name.

 

[Moxie]

Well my current name kind of represents something I've been kind of lacking pretty drastically all my life. Moxie is synonymous with Courage, Grit, Determination and sorta a force of will and it's just something that I really wish I personally had more of personality wise. So the name is sort emblematic of what I strive to be in the future! Possibly meaning when I have a bit more of Moxie in my life, I might change both my discord name and this name
Plus it flows well...
And it kinda works since It's a well established Pokemon ability ^^;

 

[Cynical Toast]

I was 13 years old, trying to think of a hilarious new username. I somehow came up with Cynical Toast, and being 13 I thought the name was very random and super funny. It's been quite a few years since then, I'm not really sure how much I like the name, but it's the one I have and I'm sticking with it.

 

[neoratz]

i've rebranded myself several times already, i actually only switched to this last year after thinking it over for a bit! i think i'll be sticking with this one for a while though. neoratz is just something i came up with when i was 7, i made it up when i was signing up for neopets :B it's literally just a combination of neopets, rats because i like rats, and a z on the end instead of an s because everyone knows z is the most epic letter. idk what made me want to go back to a username i used once when i was 7 but i'm super attached to it!

 

[Bluejay]

i like blue jays

 

[Moonwatcher]

Well, Moonwatcher is a character from a book series call Wings of Fire who I relate to very much, being shy and nervous, constantly worrying about what other will think of her, etc. Plus she's a dragon, which are awesome to begin with, and it's kinda close to my previous name here, Moonlight Dragon.
