Why did you choose your username?

[Terriixx]

Curious how people come up with their usernames, I always find it really difficult...

What's the story behind yours?



Mines pretty simple, just my name (Terri) with 2 i's and x's
Terriixx

 

[Topaz]

Because it's my birth stone and I also because I used to keep Topaz coloured rats. My user name on a lot of other sites is Topazrat, for that reason.

I've just change my avatar to show one of my Topaz beauties, Merlin

 

[Rs20033]

Mines the first letter of my first name, first letter of my surname, year my first daughter was born and another 3 added because people kept thinking 2003 was my dob on other forums, games etc..!

 

[Jon]

I am Jon

Thus my username is Jon


Very very dull

 

[ProseccoPrincess]

Because I love Prosecco and I can be a bit of a princess...

 

[Mountainways]

Mountain Ways is a favourite short story by my favourite author, Ursula K Le Guin.

 

[Twiggy]

I am not really skinny lol

I honestly just picked the first thing that I could think of, I didn't imagine I would have contributed and stuck around all this time!

 

[cascot]

Cascot is my nickname, both bits short from my name. So easy for me to remember.

 

[AWW]

Mountain Ways is a favourite short story by my favourite author, Ursula K Le Guin.

Her earthsea series got a little strange towards the end.

Mines my initials.

 

[Nibbly Nibblesworth]

Simple answer to a simple question ..... because I'm strange !

Awh Merlin looks lovely!! I used to have rats when I was little


[member=3011]Rs20033[/member]
Simple answer, yeah I always had to be careful putting my daughters DOB or anything that could be misconstrued as a year because people would either just block me (if the year led to an age that wasn't allowed on the site) or they'd treat you like you were that age


[member=1]Jon[/member]
Short, sweet and very simple


[member=3529]ProseccoPrincess[/member]
Mmm prosecco... damn should have stolen that name first


[member=3699]Mountainways[/member]
Heard of the author but never read anything of theirs, may have to look into that


[member=871]Twiggy[/member]
They are sometimes the best names, the ones that are just a random object or thought..


[member=4069]cascot[/member]
I like it reminds me of something but can't think what.


[member=2818]AWW[/member]
Short and sweet


[member=4033]Nibbly Nibblesworth[/member]
Yayyyyyy!!

 

[Mountainways]

[member=1020]Terriixx[/member] it's in a collection called The Birthday of the World. I love Changing Planes too (also short stories) but most people get hooked with the Earthsea trilogy. Left Hand of Darkness is good too.

 

[RickyRaj]

I used to do salsa classes a few years back (around the time of Ricky Martin). One of the guys in the office started calling me RickyRaj!

 

[denshacam]

I used the first 3 letters of my first, middle and last name. It kind of sounds like a word or a name for something so worked out well and it is now my token username for everything

 

[jockette]

I'm female, Scottish and short! Therefore the diminutive female version of Jock => Jockette

 

[MuckleMaker]

Mine comes from a saying my grandmother used to quote... Many a Mickle Makes a Muckle.

 

[katykicker]

Childhood nickname

 

[Chammy]

It was a nickname given to me by an ex - lost for many years after we broke up then re-issued when I moved in with an old school friend (who knew me as Chammy at the time) and it's kinda stuck from there. 90% of the people I know call me Chammy more than Chermaine

 

[askgar]

I have no idea, I just needed a nickname for something one day and was trying to get away from my old school nicknames so just made it up.

 

[mabozza]

Not going to go too much into details, but, if your Scottish you would get it if I told you my (not actual) second name was "Ritchie" (Say the whole name together!!)
