Did you create your username based on your interests, personality traits, beliefs, gender, etc.? Or did you pick something random and totally unrelated to you?

I can't make up good names, didn't want to use the username I use elswehere, so I used a random name generator and m is my initial.
In short I guess my username says I'm boring, uncreative and a bit weird.
Crap.
That tells you I read poetry, play computer games, and live in the past. It doesn't tell you that I chose "dappled" because I like the shape of it, the curve and symmetry of it. It also doesn't tell you anything about "dappy juice" which I recommend you look up directly before a meal, not directly after one.
But one can always infer one thing or another beyond that: she reads; interested in wars; my character, personality and background based on which SOE agent I chose. At first I knew for sure it had been random, then I realized I had much more in common with Noor Inayat Kahn than I imagined.
Nah, it's a nickname consisting of my name and amazing.
It's actually how many times I've switched accounts. Originally my name was "Anime" but my accounts kept on getting deleted so I had to keep making new accounts, like "Anime2" or "Anime3." So I've been "Anime" seven times.
:)
It wasn't till a few weeks later that I realised the Yoko connection, but i've persisted with it. I like the short and simple name, and if I can't have my artsy fartsy fancy word as a name, then at least it's a palindrome.
About a few months or a year ago, I decided if I ever got a account on here that my username would be "Avant-Garde".

Taking all these in account, I think the name does suit me. Mirroring aspects of my personality as well as things I aspire to achieve. I'm also glad I got this account when I did, it would've been terrible if someone else had claimed this name! However, I did have other names in mind, all which were based on other french terms/movements.

i really AM an angel in a glass dress... ;-)
