Apologies if this thread has appeared before in some form or another. But basically, I want to see why peoples usernames are what they are.

I will start.

My username is:
Charlie
Because:
It's my name in real life.

Okay so mine is a pretty boring example. But now somebody else does it

Unfortunately, I've had the username Swatme101 for the longest time.

Now I say unfortunately, because as time goes by, it seems more and more like a sexual innuendo. But I promise, that ain't the story.

In reality, Swatme101 dates back to... say... 2004 or 2005. My friend was on the phone with me, and he told me about this awesome game I should try called RuneScape.

That's right people. RuneScape.

Anyways, he were on the phone, and I was pacing around my dining room, trying to come up with a name. And that's when I saw it. There was a fly swatter laying on a bottom shelf of a wine shelf.

Now, time has gone by, and I forget the original evolution, but within 10 minutes, we came up with Swatme because I'm annoying like a fly, and because my friend thought it would cool, he added the number 101, because he said thats what everything had after it. (lol.)

So yes. I'm glad that the "annoying like a fly" part still remains. Anyways, the password I used for THE LONGEST TIME (and for fear I still have it somewhere with that username, I won't reveal) had to do with flies. So, if the username / password relationship was seen to everyone else, it'd make so much more sense.

So yeah. That's why I like to go by Swat on here. Don't need anyone asking me to SwatThem

I'm just gonna list the ones I remember:

Zanessa Boy - I was a big fan of HSM, now I'm not. SO DON'T HOLD IT AGAINST ME

Jashley Sim - This was a big fail, so I'm not even going there.

Erhama - My name.

Erry - Nickname.

ə. - First time using the schwa.

Ultiməcia - Evil queen of the future in Final Fantasy VIII, she's sexy.

Səphiroth - Good guy turned evil in Final Fantasy VII. He tried getting a Meteor to hit a planet.

I changed my username to Kira when I became admin here. I thought I needed a new username since I don't know, I felt like I needed to get away from my old username (which was my name) and make a fresh start since I was returning from my absence which was spent at the test forum. And at the time I was obsessed with Death Note/Kira so it seemed like an obvious choice. I've changed my username several times since then but I always go back to Kira.

And like I said, my username previously was Kristin, my name. Before that (about a year or less) it was pink_posie which I came up with after being inspired by the little girl I was babysitting at the time named Josie (you know, Josie, Posie, rhyming) and the fact that pink is my favorite color. I signed up here with that username since I had used it at another sims forum.

I doubt anyone knew this (or cares) but I went by Light on the test forum that no one probably cares to remember. Which was the other name Kira goes by.

My name is Laura but my closest friends sometimes call me Lola. Since that was already taken, I added 001 because I'm #1!

*Bump*
I want other people to do this too :> I find it interesting haha. And swat, I totally didn't think of your name as an innuendo, but I did think it was totally random and weird. Haha.

ABO are blood types, and I like to think I bring new blood to this forum.

^ LIES!

I'm Draik because when I was younger I was mad-obsessed with Neopets, and I was intent on getting a Draik, which were super-rare. I never achieved my goal, but it lives on in my username.

My username is Phoenix after my best friend. Back when we were 9-ish we were trying to come up with cool superhero names. I was Eclipse because of my superdark eyes and she was Phoenix because she's a redhead. I tried Eclipse but it was already taken, so I went with Phoenix instead.

I love to drink whiskey.

XD! I didn't think that was why but okay. :P

Used to freaking LOVE neopets. I even had a handheld console thing of neopets. Not a clue what it used to do come to think of it. But it had a little neopet you could stick on the lid on different sections of the world.

I also had painted pets etc. I was awsome.

iz my name. Yo. Never even though of changing my username.

Oooh, new username = new reason;

Fangə - Fang is a character from Final Fantasy XIII, she's the woman in my avatar. She's an amazing character D:<

My nickname comes from that I once was in a relationship and had a period where biting was my thing.. so when i had to make a new emailadress we came up with Wampire as I didn't suck blood but liked to bite...

Now it just got stuck and I got varies versions of it...

My other favorite Nickname is Malian... can't even remember how we came to that one but I think it sounds pretty :)

ok so i had I think a total of 3 usernames

Maple456:I created this around when i was in 4th? grade to play Maple Story and me not being creative decided to incorporate Maple into it and the number 456 had a nice ring to it. BAMM! Maple456 was born.

BlackMaple456:I addded black I think to make it sound cooler.

L30J: L3OJ is my name backwards,now you all now my secret!

^ I figured out your secret before

My name is CrazyZimBrandina because I am crazy and I liked Invader Zim (or maybe it was a stupid stylized way of saying sim) and I liked the sim Dina Caliente.
...
I made the name when I was 12.

My first name on here was CrazyZim111 then it was BrandinaTheStrange... So yeh.
The triple 1's had no meaning and I literally pronounced it as one one one. I think it just a name of an album of this Thai pop singer years and years ago.
