I would like to know how you came up with your usernames.

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.

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. ;)

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

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

Post by: Drake on September 17, 2012, 08:10:10 PM
My username evolved from a desire to avoid people having to type out my penname on fanfiction.net in forum posts. My name at the time was Dragonsoul90, so being a dragon nut, I simply added Drake to the front of the name and dropped the number from the end. I've been Drake ever since despite trying to change my online handle a few times it's just stuck with me. This just happens to be the only site where I didn't need to include a last name to register under it.  :p

Wow! Glad that came across so readily then! :DD I do often wonder why I see (particularly Gamer Tags) have a huge string of numbers after their name. And then how they intend for that number to be read back. :p

Thanks for that DH! ;)

^That's why Drake has always had a last name attached to it otherwise. I refuse to use numbers in my username, I like being the original article.

Post by: StardustSoldier on July 25, 2020, 01:50:42 AM
Copying and pasting this from a different thread I posted in a while back 'cause I'm lazy. :P

I used to go by the handle "Sunrise Warrior", which dates back to about 2014. But I wasn't really happy with that name and I wanted to change it to something else. Yet I still wanted something along those lines, which led to me coming up with Stardust Soldier in its place, which has been my default username on websites as of around 2017 and onward.

The name "Sunrise Warrior" is derived from the name of a novel I was writing called "Sunrise Peak". Conversely, "Stardust Soldier" isn't a reference to anything specific, aside from just being an offshoot of my older handle. I guess I wanted something that sounded sort of mystical and magical.

I kinda stole mine  :ChomperAmused

@Vojeds: Oh? Care to elaborate? :-P

I also kinda stole mine as it was the only one I could think of at the time since none of the ones I did try were eligible. I basically took the name Anagnos from Halo, who is a fictional character.

Had I known Bro would decide to join the forum, too, I might've been named "Big Sis." :OhYou

I chose my username because when I was little I liked to fantasize about being a student/apprentice/follower of the Rainbow Faces...or any other friendly, intelligent aliens I might be lucky enough to encounter. Yeah, I was a quirky little thing. :lol

Title: Re: What inspired your usernames?
Post by: Flathead770 on August 03, 2020, 09:03:21 AM
Well the Rainbow Faces would be one of the best to be students under in LBT due to how much knowledge they have (if they even bother teaching you it). Mr. Thicknose would have nothing on them.  :rainbowThinking

Can't remember if I've mentioned already, but I chose Flathead because I noticed there was already a lot of Littlefoot usernames so I figured I'd be a bit more unique. I've enjoyed the jokes that have arisen as well due to being named after a derogatory term. :p
The number comes from way back in the day when I loved watching Goldeneye as a kid. I wondered why James Bond was codename double-oh-seven and not something like double-seven-oh. 770 stuck in my mind after that.

Post by: Mr. Clubtail on August 10, 2020, 04:52:10 PM
I remember having 3 different usernames on different websites and there is the reason why I chose them:

MrClubtail1234: This name was chosen because I wanted a unique username and I have a fairly similar personality to the character Mr. Clubtail.


Ihateloofah123: This name was chosen because I hate Loofah.  :PCera  :SharptoothAmused


BadPiggiesLover: This name was chosen because the game Bad Piggies was one of my longtime favorite games even though a lot you may not know about this game.

Amaranthine is something that means unfading, eternal. It's also a purple-red color which are my two favorite colors aside from mint green, dark brown and salmon. I was looking for a new username to make me identifiable among a sea of usernames and I think it fits.

Post by: caspyartist on January 22, 2021, 07:07:39 AM
'caspyartist' is actually my third username I've used on the web. my first one was 'AusRox', which was short lived from 2013-2015, second is actually the longest one I've had which is 'Aussiecuno', which I used from 2015-2020. then there's my current one! there was no big reason why I changed to caspyartist, think I just wanted a switch up to something new  :petrieLOL

anyway, onto the topic, my name was mostly inspired by Casper the friendly Ghost and the fact that I'm an artist. that's it, that's my name lol. I didn't really have any big inspiration for it at the time I guess.

My name derived from trying to think of another name for Chomper. I surmised that most of the chomper usernames were already taken, so I thought of what is Chomper if I described him, gentle and a sharptooth, “there ya go.” :)

It works also well for that sharpteeth are my favorite and I am of a gentle nature.

Haha that’s the username I use on every site, I chose it when I was like 14. My goal was to appear first on any alphabetical lists, hence the double A, and I chose the word ‘abacus’ because I liked how it had the letters a, b, and c in it. (And the ‘I’ was just to make sure there weren’t too many ‘a’s in the word.) It was all very calculated in a kinda nonsensical way, but hey it kinda worked, I have very good Google SEO by this point from using it on so many sites!

"DiddyK" comes from Diddy Kong, my all-time favorite fictional character, and "F1" comes from Formula 1, since I'm such an obsessive motorsport fanatic. :)petrie  Funnily enough, I was originally DiddyKF1Enthusiast on YouTube and a few other places for a while, but I later decided to shorten it to just "DiddyKF1" because I wanted a shorter name and it just ticked and stuck ever since! :petrieLOL
