What's in a Username?

Wow, usually, I am starswordsman, on youtube. I am The Star Swordsman on here, the other Pixar forums, and fanfiction.net. I would get an occassional thestarswordsman.

I try to keep my username the same everywhere I go, but because mine is a pretty common name, nine times out of ten, it’s already taken. My username on dA is now llacerta (which means ‘lizard’ in Latin- got to be the same theme, right? :laughing:) and I’m trying to apply this to as many places as possible so I don’t have to remember too many username and password combinations.

I just use this username for everything. I came up with it when I was 13 because I thought I was being cool, and I just kept using it because it’s easy to remember.

I signed up for some website when I was about 11 and I wanted to be SwimChick because I was really into swimming at the time. Unfortunately that was taken, but SwimChick17 was available. Since then, it has become my online alias.

Although on one website, I’m known as Dory, as in the fish, but I figured that on a Pixar forum, there were enough Dorys.

My username is pretty self explanatory haha(= I like pinatas! Who doesn’t like being blindfolded to bash a flamboyant paper mache animal for candy?(= Unfortunately I don’t know how to type the ~ on top of the ‘n’… perhaps I should look it up later!

Another alias I also go by is monkee_appelz… I have no idea how that came about. I remember years ago my brother blocked me from using the internet for several months, so then months later when I logged back into my msn account, I found ‘monkee appelz’ as my name(=

So from then on, I used monkee_appelz for most accounts… Until one day, I forgot my password to log in to youtube, so I had to create a new one, therefore I came up with ilikepinatas :wink:

Ok, time for me to tell the story of my username! =D

Short version:

Once upon a time, there was a girl who liked animals. There was also a thing called “Pokémon” which was about animals. There was an animal called “scyther” in Pokémon.
The end.

Long version:

Well, I have a lot of random obsessions (Pixar movies being one of them. xD) Another, as some of you probably guessed, is Pokémon.

For those of you who don’t know, pokémon is about a bunch of fictional animal species in a fictional world. I love animals, and fantasy, so pokémon was perfect for me. I just loved the idea of so many different animals, some with different types of powers and the myths that surround some of them. (In the pokémon games, these myths are mentioned, but what’s really fun is coming up with my own stories about it.)

One of my most FAVORITE things to do is make up stories about animals. I make up several of my own animals and how they would live in the wild in stories I write, and when writing stories about pokémon it’s also fun to think of how my favorite pokémon would live and survive in the wild/on adventures, etc.

So…(yes, all that stuff is relevant to what I’m trying to say xD) I joined sites about pokémon so I could write stories about them and draw pictures of them (And yes, I write about Pixar movies too!). My favorite fictional animal in pokémon is called a “scyther”. So I usually had that word in my username, and since I was used to being called that on the internet, I made it my username here.

THE END. =3

Yes, I know I’m a total freak, but I like being a total freak, so there. =P

My name means “bright”. :smiley:
As for the “dot-dasher” part, well, I always had thought Violet and Atta’s characters were similar, and I thought it was kinda funny (not in a bad way) that their siblings’ names put together sound like morse code. So, that was a random reason, I guess, but I thought it sounded great put together. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oohh, thats cool. I thought you were more of a Dot and Dash fan. Still sool story behind your username.

Well, TSS, I am. They may not be my top favorite characters, but I really am fond of them.

Pewpewpew because I like lasers, and 5522 because, um… I don’t know. I just like the sound of the number. Fivefivetwotwo.

I like how it rhymes, Pewpewpew5522.

Forgive me if I missed it but I couldn’t find a post I made on here …

Anyway, it’s obvious what my name means - I made it up when I first started on FF.NET with a Fairly Odd Parents fanfiction, and it stuck. That, and I am/can be fairly odd. :wink:

I usually go under the name of SeltzerAddict though, because I’m a seltzer addict. :laughing:

I think mine is pretty self explanatory, but I’ll give the story anyway!

My name is Hannah and I am an animation (oh the alliteration!) student. I was trying to come up with a cool name for my website when it finally dawned on me that ‘Hannah’ sounds like the beginning of ‘animation’ so I combined the two.

Clever idea Hannahmation! :wink:

my other names:

DMC: DeLorean DMC-12 (the car from Back to the Future)
Cake: Portal
GLaDOS: Portal
Quarsar: Sounds like quasar.

When I play on my PS3, my name is TheIncredibles21. The Incredibles is my favorite movie and 21 is not only one of my favorite numbers, but it is also the number to Ladainian Tomlinson, my favorite player in the NFL. Apperently, TSS has already been taken.

probably by a great fan of yours…

My usernames have varied but now all revolve around Al-Bob. (which i have already discussed about earlier)

My username started as another one of my sister’s un-funny jokes that sounded cool when we were little. Basically, we were meesing around with some computer program, and then my sister said in a robotic voice “I am the mutant hairy man. See me dance.” Eventually, it changed to the mutant hairy thing.

So, the first time I had to create a username was when my friends urged me to make a Neopets account (which I never go to again :unamused: ), so I had to choose from a myriad of inside jokes we made up. My favorite one was “Pinocchia”, a Pinocchio parody (if you haven’t guessed) which we still make references to today.

Many months later, I forgot my password and decided to create a new account. I hated using numbers in a username, so I thought that “mutant_hairy_thing” would be the next cool-sounding name. Then, I quit Neopets but kept the username since no one else could ever think of it.

There you go.

Well my username JhOpZzZz is a pun on my name Jops.

I’m using this name on almost all forums I’m joining in related to my interests.

Where’s the Avatar Name thread here?

it’s my username for many many things. i use only in case i can’t think of any other username. plus i like to laugh.

I came up with it recently and so that means I signed up for a lot of things lately.

On my myspace someone posted up a picture of the roflcopter going soi soi soi, and they keep chanting soi soi soi at school, even now, so i was making a new account on youtube, and i tried roflcopter, but that was already taken, my dad was watching terminator on tv and i was thinking the governator, then roflcoptinator.

I was gonna do lollerskatinator or roflwafflinator, but i like roflcoptinator better
