Why did you choose the username you did?

[Melissa]

I want you all to think really HARD!!, so hard that your face turns red, and tell me why I chose the name I did. And if you can't figure it out then OH WELL!!! You didn't need to know in the first place. OK!!!

[blue5star]

i chose blue5star because ...
um...
i'm not quite sure. i love blue and my favorite number is 5, but I have no idea why I put in the "star" part. I prefer to be called Eliana (Eh-Lee-Ah-Nah) though because it's my real name and i love it!

I chose mine because I am an idiot and thought they were going to use a second name off my profile but oveous I got them mixed up.

*Many have gone and many have stayed but one thing stays the same: Love and Hate they never go away but they can be beaten- Devin
*Many have come to this place and most have left it but let not their life be a mystery- Devin
*Many have come and gone so we need to leave a ripple before this planet is washed away- Devin

[wizardlyone_04]

I use wizardlyone_04 for every screen name I have to make because I have a tendency to for get them easily, but I first thought of it when I got a new cell phone. I needed a name for it to memorize me by and wizardy poped into my haed, and how cool it would be to be a wizard and 04 was the year i got it.

So what does the "lyone" stand for?

Wizardlyone_04... that's a cool one. I like it. And Devin Caster, that's a really nice name. If it really is your real name, then that's even better! I'd love to have that name IRL.

Ah! It appears i have not given the reasons behind my username. The answer is thus: I was bored, and started making up words. Some of them were much better suited for names than for words, so I became Rysade(which has two syllables: Rice and Aid), or on occasion(sp?) Rysadeh (which has three syllables: Rye, Sa and Dé) Leonine.

[Luthien_Tinuviel]

My username is from The Lord of the Rings. Luthien was an elven princess. She's in the song Aragorn sings on Weathertop. If you read The Silmarillion, you can hear all about her. Basically, she fell in love with a mortal, her dad got upset, sent the mortal on a hopeless quest, Luthien helped the mortal complete the quest, died, then came back as a human. It's also almost the same as my AIM screenname, which makes it easy to remember.

Mines a nickname form school. I used it rather than my something based on my real name because I help run a forums elsewhere (which covers a similar litery area), and I like to keep the two things seperate.

[Zgirl]

I chose my username because my name starts with a
Z and I am a girl. I think BookFanaticAlly already asked me what my name was. So if you want to know you have to go back to that post!

The monkey made me do it!
~Z~

[Luthien_Tinuviel]

blue5star/Eliana, how is your name pronounced? Is it EH-lee-ah-nah or eh-lee-AH-nah? or something else compeletely?

[Tanis]

Zgirl let me try and guess. Zelda...zzz...Zetra...mmmuummm...Zirlen...I don't know I give up I don't know that many "Z" names.

Zgirl2003-
Is your name Zoe? I'm just guessing that 'cause it's the most popular Z name I know. I would go check that post where you wrote your name, but I wasn't quite in the mood to read 170 posts.

Luthien_Tinuviel-
It's Eh-lee-AH-nah. It's a different language, so I don't mind if people mispronounce it. I'm used to being called Eee-lee-ey-na by just about everyone but close friends. Actually, I don't correct them because it always ammuses me when people butcher my name in incredibly stupid ways.

[semiramis]

My nic is the webhandle I use practically everywhere, except when I'm Semiramis Mei (which is what the "M" stands for, if anyone's ever gotten an email from me), or, earlier on (for about two posts) when I was Mei-chan. Then I realized there are about a thousand Mei-chans out there because it means "darkness" in Japanese--I only used it becasue it's an alternate, less easy to misinterpret romanization of my Chinese name (in this case, it means Rose--mae as in mae-gue, for those who speak mandarin, pronounced mey-gwey for those who don't/use a different romanization system... my full chinese given name is Mae-mae; I don't have a generation name because I don't have siblings). Semiramis is an Babylonian queen who's become one of those half-mythical, half-historical figures that seem to pop up all over the place. I chose that becasue I like mytho-history, and because I like the sound of it ^.^. (Although the combined meaning of my web name is a bit too romantic for my liking--Semiramis means "coming from the doves," so "Semiramis mei" would be "Rose of the Doves"... but oh well)

ummm... my avatar is something I drew and decided to use. "Batty" is because... well... it suits me. The chinese character in the other corner is the aforementioned "mae/mei"

my sig... was just me being weird ^.^
