Why did you pick username you have?

A person's name/nickname can give you an idea about their personality.

I just wanna know why you chose the username you're using.

Thought it was cool 23
Wanted people to know what I'm all about 13

  • Paradiddle

    Paradiddle is the name of a basic percussion rudiment on the snare drum that consists of 4 sixteenth notes using a right left right right pattern, such as R L R R and L R L L. Go ahead and put your hands on your lap and pat your leg in the order written. Congrats, you just did a Paradiddle! Although I practice piano much more than percussion these days, getting good at percussion before piano made it so that I don't even have to think about rhythms on the piano since percussion already induces rhythm skills.

    it's a long story. when I was about 13, I fell in love with this girl with the initials "an". since my initials are "sa", I made a username back then "sa-N-an223" since I'm born on 22nd and she was born on 23rd.
    but then we grew and things didn't workout, however I'm still using the username with a bit of modification and I don't think about it's origin anymore

  • squirrelgirl

    I chose this username because at the time I created this account, I had a habit of hand-feeding squirrels in my back yard (see profile pic).

    What's kind of funny is that about a week after creating this account, the squirrel I fed was getting too aggressive so I had to stop feeding it.

    I guess my username still kind of fits though, because my personality can be seen as "nutty".

    i made this around the time i first got the game animal crossing, i loved it, anyway it is the name of one of the characters who i thought was strangely cute. he is a psychologist, of sorts..- the name being a play on shrink i guess, so it's kinda fitting here. plus, it's wasn't one of my usual usernames, because i didn't want anyone to know who i was

  • KeddersPrincess

    Explained this too many times. I suppose I should put this in my info.

    Kedder is the character from my Alchemic series. He is awesome and so much to the point that I decided I'd marry him and be his princess. Thus, the name KeddersPrincess was born.

  • Legion

    I am but many, many different pieces and things gathered into one. A fact here, a behavior there, of the many things I acquired. I am the many, and I am but one. I am Legion.

    What many pick up naturally and easily was akin to studying for a test for me, finding the one that works and seems right, to be able to express myself and to understand how others express themselves.

    Also, as a fan of Red Dwarf and the Mass Effect trilogy, it fits well.

  • CoLLie94

    Mine is in memory of my neice that passed away last year, my real name is Nicole but for some reason she wouldn't or couldn't pronounce the first part of my name. She would call me Cole, when she first started talking but as she got older she started calling me Auntie Collie. I was thinking about her when I first stumbled upon this website one day, I was actually Googling something that had to do with her illness. The 94 is the year that I was born.

  • RomeoDeMontague

    Why no other option? I will now say why I picked this name. Most names I pick are usually based on a character I resemble in some way or another. I picked Romeo. The story was Romeo&Juliet.

    They made a anime series about it. The anime very closely resembles the original story minus one or two details which they altered. I always liked the story or romeo and Juliet and I liked the how they portrayed the characters in this show.

    I just really wanted to make something dedicated to romeo but its hard it was hard to keep up the old English persona. This is far from my favourite persona though.

    I have many others online I have cared much more for. However I tire of all of them eventually when I find a new obsession but I have not found anything interesting enough to spark my interest in awhile.

    So currently I am stuck on another persona. Also to be honest I would rather be on the red team apposed to the blue team. This persona is rather soft for my liking.

  • megadriver

    I came up with the name "Megadriver" when I was little. Back when NFS Underground came out. Or was it Hot pursuit (the old one). I was like "What do I put in as a profile name". First thing that came up was megadriver, so I stuck with it ever since.

    And in time, when I got my licence, people always said that I drive well. So I saw no reason in changing it.

    Mine is a long story that doesn't make much sense. I used to use the name Ian-Khan, then it evoled to Nai-Khan (ian backwards) then I changed to Nai-chan, then Sugano-Chan was my name on PSN, but I didn't want to use the same name, so I changed it too Shuggy-chan.
