How did you come up with your username?
 
just curious, i used a username generator and it came up with FranticMind.

Bear 26-12-2013 05:58 PM

Everyone calls me Bubs. When I was younger I used to wear furry jumpers and got called Bubsy Bear because I looked like a fluffy lump, and that was my first username here. After a couple of years it got shortened to Bear :-)

not_so_insig 26-12-2013 06:35 PM

I was feeling small and insignificant, and also there's only one of me, hence insignificant one. I should change it because I no longer feel insignificant, but I cant decide on a username.

I used a random username generation thing deciding on another username for another website however.

havealittlefaith 26-12-2013 06:57 PM

I always get called bear and the lovely gf said I'm bananas hence the username :)

Foxtrot Oscar 26-12-2013 07:18 PM

I was feeling rebellious...!

Cersei 26-12-2013 07:43 PM

I had just watched too much Game of Thrones.

Can't blame you for that one!

I think it was it was decided at a meet I should be called FabulousMike or at least someone told me to be called it, may have been Katy, not sure.

Alice InWonderland 26-12-2013 08:08 PM

My username is my nickname :)

Charmed 26-12-2013 09:04 PM

I was obsessed with the tv programme at the time (still obsessed just pretend I'm not). And obviously I live such a charmed life ;)

Shoshana Rochel 26-12-2013 10:41 PM

It's my Hebrew name :)

Cacoethes 26-12-2013 11:11 PM

Cacoethes means 'an irresistible urge to do something inadvisable'

I thought it suited me :P

nowhereman 26-12-2013 11:39 PM

Easy, I married Bill Kaulitz! I actually did too, online. He just doesn't know yet lol.

I've been wondering what that meant for ages! Mystery solved...

Too Shy 27-12-2013 01:00 AM

I saw it on an avatar somewhere back in the days, and it suits me muchly! I think t'is the name of a song.

I don't like it much anymore, it's a bit negative. Half considering changing it, but I don't think anyone would know me enough to recognise me on here if I did! If I do, it will be a combination of two songs I like.

almostAwarrior90 27-12-2013 01:19 AM

My favorite artist is Demi Lovato and her song, Warrior is something I really relate to. I'm barely beginning recovery, so I'm "almost a warrior".

I'd recognise you! If you kept the same avatar and signature for a while after, I reckon most people would recognise you :)

Colley2698 27-12-2013 04:17 AM

Colley is what my 4 year old cousin has called me since he could talk so it just kind of stuck with me and my birthdate 02/06/98 I'm not very creative so it's just something easy for me to go with

ConfusedKidd 27-12-2013 04:49 AM

I have always used the suffix 'kidd' on the end of my usernames. I hang out with older people, so that is what they call me.

Confused is the emotion I felt when I sighed up for the site.

***I love the Hollywood Undead quote by the way! Bullet is one of my favorite songs by them, it a summation of my feelings. I still have my signed poster from back when they came to Maine in 2008. It has Deuce instead of Danny though XP

Rohinald was a random name generator
Victim+of+hate/Banged and bruised/cut to size/Lace me up were just horribly emo
Reine de dependance was when I was heavily addicted to drugs and I think it vaguely translated as queen of dependance
Kaytii was my best friend's name and I needed to be ninja
Taraxacum was googled because I didn't wanna go for dandellion and I like that a dandellion just goes on and on.
Apple of your eye was mocking a friend
Mystic death was a random rock band name generator :P
-Carpe Diem was a feeble chance at being positive
Severus Snape 'cause why not?
Chelscar because it's my name + scar
*is struggling to remember other usernames*

EDIT; and if my name request goes through, it'll be the name of where I live, kinda :]

You've had a lot of usernames, Chels :P And what's your new username going to be??

nowhereman 27-12-2013 05:21 AM

My old usernames include one song glory which is the name of a song from Rent, noodle head cos typsee's nickname for me was nikki noodle, nikaroo which was mariposa2's name for me, phantom kitty from phantom of the opera and cos I love cats, dancintrulife which is a song from Wicked and I used to be a dancer. I think that's all. Oh, and frozen inside which is a lyric from an Evanescence song. So you may have guessed I love music! And my current name is music related too, cos I want to marry Bill Kaulitz (singer from Tokio Hotel)

Also I once had my username on a journal site cellblocktango, a song from Chicago, I got a lot of comments on that, it seems to be a popular song. I chose it cos I wanted to murder my ex at the time lol. Also had mooshakalaka, which is from the mooing in Rent and Shakalaka Baby whch is a song from yet anther musical, Bombay Dreams.

Patent Pending 27-12-2013 05:11 PM

Mix Tape - Song by Brand New
Heaven Knows - Song by Rise Against
It's Now Or Never - Trying to be vaguely positive about recovery.
Cut Myself On Stars - A story I read once.

Enthused 27-12-2013 05:20 PM

It was my favourite Blink 182 song at the time

Sketchy 27-12-2013 06:29 PM

I chose mine because I'm an artist and always have a sketchbook with me.

I was suppose to be revising for my exams though. =P

random.swirls 28-12-2013 12:32 AM

Mine got made for me by someone who made a blog for me way back in the day!!

Ps I saw a comment about username changes I'm away for Christmas so bear with me!!

starryeyedprincxss 28-12-2013 05:42 AM

mine is basically sarcastically saying "im as perfect as Barbie!" its to let girlies know that no one is perfect, and that we don't need to keep trying to make ourselves that way.

Icecube. Swirls 28-12-2013 10:55 AM

Icecube because I am addicted to ice cubes I have about 5 trays of ice cubes a day.

Swirls because I love swirls designs.

That's why my username is Icecube. Swirls

Rodolphus 28-12-2013 12:28 PM

My best friend is Lucius :)
There was also a Bellatrix and there is still a Narcissa.

And I just really wanted 'Le Strange' as my user title :P

Angelina 31-12-2013 10:53 AM

I have a doll like the one in my avatar called Angelina. x

Eccentrics 31-12-2013 11:11 AM

Neko is an odd username of mine, as I don't use it anywhere else! Either way it means cat in Japanese because I love both cats and anime, which is Japanese!

As for my previous username Eccentrics, it went through an evolution of usernames over many websites:
from FriendlyMushroom (because I love mushrooms and would consider myself friendly)
to EccentricMushroom (I didnt want to seem too full-of-myself, and I would also consider myself eccentric!)
to Eccentrics (because previous was too long for most websites, and eccentric was usually taken!)

[Luna] 31-12-2013 04:26 PM

My nickname at school was Emma Lavalamp.

Whoa. That's interesting.


Asuras in Buddhist mythology, while gods, are slaves to emotions, especially anger. They all die eventually.

Buttons. 01-01-2014 10:01 AM

I'm not entirely sure but I have had it for so long now it seems to have transferred to real life with button-related presents etc and I kind of like it!

tiredout 01-01-2014 08:21 PM

Because i am tired and was too tired to think of anything more interesting. I might change it after a good nights sleep.

Glass Calypso 02-01-2014 08:42 AM

My user name is a Glassjaw reference...kind of. I don't even like Glassjaw too much, but I was listening to Ape Dos Mil when I was creating my username, so voila. =)

Patch. 02-01-2014 07:22 PM

I was given it as a nickname years ago and it just kinda stuck. People have told me it's cute.

FranticMind 02-01-2014 08:16 PM

taylor, it is very cute!

MunchBox 02-01-2014 09:00 PM

Mine's a reference from The L word and a euphemism.

_smile_staystrong 03-01-2014 02:02 PM

It's my Instagram name and my words to try to live by :)

Zurg 03-01-2014 02:29 PM

The evil emperor Zurg is my favourite Disney villain :)

Fleurs du Mal 03-01-2014 09:57 PM

Mine means "Flowers of pain" and it's the title of a poetry book by Baudelaire that I was studying at the time and I liked the sound of it. And it's a name that no one I know would think I used if they happened to be on this site or anything !

LittleCloud 04-01-2014 04:03 AM

Mine is a reference to the band The Whitlams.
Little Cloud is searching....

Captainshiny 05-01-2014 04:11 AM

When I was young, I use to love anything that was shiny, like new coins just made, and that's were Captainshiny came from :D
