My nose in real life is bent to right sometimes. If I have an cold my nose goes to the right a lot and looks really ugly as so do I. A lot of people make fun of it on YouTube sometimes. So I thought I have it as my username here. :DD

DarkHououmon is the name of a female digimon antagonist from an ancient, unfinished, and awful Mary-Sue Digimon fanfic I wrote many years ago. I liked Hououmon, and I liked the viral versions of Digimon, so I just made one out of Hououmon, thus DarkHououmon. This was before I knew of the english name, Phoenixmon.

Nowadays, I no longer use the character of DarkHououmon, and instead use the name strictly as a username.

I've used VonBoy everywhere I've been on the internet for about the last 10 years. I really just got it from my real first name, Vaughn.
Come check out my new Youtube gaming channel, Game Biter!

Chomper: "Well, sure I would!"

Come give my LBT TV Series fanfiction, PAST-O-RAMA, a read!

I guess mine's obvious, but yea, I just always liked Littlefoot. I guess it was all I could think of at the time. Gee it really was such a long time ago :p

I've been a huge Bionicle fan for a very long time, so I wanted a username that reflected that, but not sound so unfamiliar to everyone. One of my favorite Bionicle characters, Takua (who you see as my avatar image), was entitled "Chronicler" in the storyline for a while, so I decided to use that as my username. (I figured it was fitting, since I also had plans at the time of writing my first fanfiction, Quest for the Energy Stones.)

It was inspired by the movie, Happy Feet. Among my favorite characters were the skuas, and I loved how their New Jersey accent had them saying 'Flipper Boid' instead of Flipper Bird. It's been my universal username ever since. :DD

My name is based off of my love for Pokemon.  I still consider myself a fan, despite the fact it's been over a year since I watched the show or played any of the games.

As for the numbers, add them up and you'll get the age I was when I came up with the name.

To be honest, I use this username everywhere I can.  Some try to steal it and cause problems for me, but I have found that most admins of places I join are too smart to fall for that. ;)

I don't use LettuceBacon&Tomato anywhere else on the internet. It's my favorite sandwich with the words rearranged so that the initials are LBT, like the Land Before Time.

My name is also inspired from Happy Feet, Mumble. But I already used Mumbling on most sites as my default Username.

Mine is a hypothetical surname based on a real surname which is based on a real name, its only purpose being to be easily pronouncable ("j" pronounced like "y" in "yes", vowels pronounced like in the Spanish language)

Mine's probably easy to figure out :lol.  I'm very spiritual and into astrology.  Cancer is my astrological sun sign, and I was born under Year of the Tiger under the Chinese zodiac (1986).  My moon sign is Scorpio and my rising sun sign is Gemini, but that would've made for one long, funny sounding username :lol.

Pretty sure we had a topic like this somewhere else in the forum. Hey ho.

The first part is pretty self-explanatory. Littlefoot is my favourite animated character (amongst a list of others) so for relativity to the site's focus, I picked him. The number is another personal touch. It's actually supposed to be read as "sixteen-sixteen" as opposed to one thousand six hundred and sixteen. Simply put, 16 is my lucky number and is also the day I was born on. So figured, having it twice would be fitting ;)  :DD

LBT stands for Land Before Time (obviously) and Diclonius is a creature in an anime call Elfen Lied, another thing I am a fan of.  :)

I've actually been pronouncing your username right. I just thought saying "sixteen-sixteen" was easier than "one six one six".
