Forum:Origin of your username: Difference between revisions

*'''Starmoonie''': My username was actually suppose to be "GeminiStar" but I had to change it because it didn't feel right to me. It was actually based on my love for Astrology and anything that was "Space" related. I just knew Starmoon was an okay username but then added the "IE" on the end to be more creative some how.[[User:Starmoonie|<font face="segoe print" color="#E8E000"><b>Star</b></font>]]-[[User talk:Starmoonie|<font face="modern" color="#0079A5">Talk</font>]] 21:16, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

*'''LostInRiverview''': My username was created due to a misunderstanding about Wikia registration. I created my username in order to fit in with The Sims Wiki, since this was the first Wikia wiki that I contributed to. After the fact I was convinced to start watching [[w:c:Lostpedia:Lost|Lost]] so the 'Lost' part of my name has its own (unintended) meaning as well. The shortened version of my username - LiR - is common on the IRC and even in short-hand discussions on-wiki, and it has become my go-to username for other websites as well. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]^{[[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]}''' 21:17, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

*'''TheSims23''': I didn't think much about my username. I just wrote name of a game I played when I made an account (The Sims 2). I added '3' because I was supposed to get The Sims 3 in a few months. So, my username actually shows which ''The Sims'' games I play ;) <font face="corbel">'''[[User:TheSims23|<span style="color:skyblue">Simming is my Life!</span>]]''' [[User talk:TheSims23|<span style="color:skyblue">_''Talk''</span>]]</font> 23:28, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

*'''Bakerychaz''': My dad & I were coming up with a username for a different website and I was looking at a cookbook at the time, which made me come up with "Bakery", then I just added "Chaz" to the end, as it's one of my nicknames. It may sound like nonsense, but it isn't. I now use Bakerychaz as my username for everything!

*'''Freedom5000''': I wanted to join a website called DevintArt a few years back and I came up with Freedom because of a group my friends and I made up. Unfortunately, that didn't work so I randomly added the "5000". When people started calling me Freedom I stuck with the name and that became most of my usernames with few exceptions. [[User:Freedom50000|Freedom50000]] ([[User talk:Freedom50000|talk]]) 00:08, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

*'''SoaringDragon''': I came up with this username as I was registering for the MapleStory Sea Forums 7 years ago (because I didn't know that Global existed and was a total n00b at gaming on the internet). At that time I had semi-recently found out that, since I was born in January, I was a dragon and not a snake...and I love dragons. Anyway, I tried "Dragon" and it was obviously taken, so the forum prompted with some other variations and none of them really clicked. Then I thought "Dragons soar right?" So I appended "Soaring" to the front and that became my go-to username from then on. Surprisingly, it was unique to me for a long while so I use it for pretty much everything. Unfortunately it's not so unique anymore (especially if you search Japanese sites), but I still think of it as exclusively me. {{SoaringDragon/Sig}}01:40, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

*'''Woganhemlock''': Named after my favourite sim at the time. I've adopted it as a nick for across the internet on a fair few sites even if I don't use him in ts3 anymore. People have on occasion believed that its my real name XD {{WHsig|02:24, August 11, 2012 (UTC)}}

*'''Nikel23''': I have always used "Nikel" since really long ago as my nick for any games. I named it after one of my favorite cast in a soap opera who died tragically (which ironically, I typo-ed it. Should've been "Niken" instead!). That was very very long ago that I had no idea why I liked soap opera at that time. XP I originally planned to use just "Nikel" as my username, but this wiki never allowed me, so I ultimately added "23" which is my birth date. Later, I now use "Nikel23" in most sites because they just '''wouldn't''' allow me to use "Nikel"! Even IRC wouldn't!

**'''RoseGui''': My second username - since I love flowers, I decided my name should have something to do with flowers and I chose "Rose" because it sounded cute and then, since just "Rose" wouldn't be accepted, I combined it with "Gui", which was already a nick people gave me here, to make my change easier to memorize. :) --[[User:RoseGui|<span style="color:orange">RoseGui</span>]][[File:Thanks rose.png]] <small>([[User talk:RoseGui|<span style="color:orange">talk here</span>]])</small> 15:41, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

*'''JM9193''' Perhaps the dumbest and most unintersting user name of them all. It's jsut the first letters of my first name and surname followed by some random numbers (which ironically are the anagram of my birth year (1993)). Geez I feel dumb just thinking about it. I'm even considering changing it. [[User:JM9193|JM9193]] ([[User talk:JM9193|talk]]) 10:07, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

*'''AndronikosLeventis:''' Basically my real-life name.

**'''Necromancer Mortanius:''' I'm really into the "Legacy of Kain" series of games, and since I think this is the coolest character in the series, I basically made this my secondary username. [[File:Andronikos sig.png|175px|link=User:Andronikos Leventis|A trip to hell is an exciting experience, isn't it?]] 20:14, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

*'''Vss2eip''' I needed a username to register a game so I just wrote random letters. Pretty boring, but I use the username for most sites. [[User:Vss2eip|<font face="Vladimir Script" size="3"><span style="color:#50C878; text-shadow:black 0 4px 4px;">'''Vss2eip'''</span></font>]][[User_talk:Vss2eip|<span style="color:#50C878; text-shadow:black 0 4px 4px;">^{''talk here''}</span>]] 20:58, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

*'''Lalapalooza:''' A variation of '''lollapalooza,''' which means ''"an extraordinary or unusual thing, person, or event; an exceptional example or instance."'' I guess I consider myself a bit unusual, or at least a bit more so than others. As for how I found this odd word, I was looking around a dictionary site when it popped up on a flash game under it. Weird words, or something. [[User:Lalapalooza|Lalapalooza]] ([[User talk:Lalapalooza|talk]]) 22:12, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

*'''HanaGoth96:''' My username consists of my first name and the way I like to spell it (Hana). I then added the word Goth, which at the time of joining the wiki, much like LiR, I had thought that this was going to be the only wiki that I would join. I also added two numbers at the end, just for the sake of it.

*'''Waikikamukow:''' Alright, I tried to make up some amazing humorous story to explain the origin of my username, but honestly, I couldn't. So here it is: it's on a magnet on our dishwasher... and no, I'm not kidding ~ [[User:Waikikamukow|<font color="6a2286">Waikikamukow</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Waikikamukow|<font color="00b0f4">Anyone wanna chat?</font>]])</small> 10:39, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

*'''Bleeh:''' No, it's not pronounced "blee." My username was inspired by the "bleh" sound emitted by vampires in TS2; Nightlife was my favourite game at the time of registration and vampires were my favourite life state. Luckily, it's not obviously linked to vampires in TS2 by anyone who doesn't play the game, so it's a username that I can use on other sites that is generally not taken. --'''[[user:Bleeh|<font color="navy">Bleeh</font>]]'''^{[[User talk: Bleeh|<font color="#489094">(talk)</font>]]} ^{[[User blog:Bleeh|<font color="#489094">(blog)</font>]]} 14:59, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

*'''Hurshbr:''' Well, my middle name is ''Br''ianne, and Hursh is a part of my last name. I know it sounds masculine, but trust me, I'm a girl. [[User:Hurshbr|Hurshbr]] ([[User talk:Hurshbr|talk]]) 18:21, April 28, 2013 (UTC)Hurshbr

 

*'''Kittygirl7878''': I'm a kitty girl. Who doesn't like 7's or 8's? [[User:Kittygirl7878|<font color="MediumSlateBlue">▒'''I smell'''</font>]] [[User_Talk:Kittygirl7878|<font color="hotpink">like teen spirit▓</font>]] 18:58, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
