What inspired your usernames?

Drake · **Reply #20 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.

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

Wow! Glad that came across so readily then!

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.

Thanks for that DH!

DarkHououmon · **Reply #22 on:** September 19, 2012, 04:49:40 PM

You're welcome.

Yeah I'm not sure why people put in so many numbers in their usernames.

Malte279 · **Reply #23 on:** September 19, 2012, 07:47:25 PM

In some cases it may be because their intended name short of any numbers was already taken

Drake · **Reply #24 on:** September 19, 2012, 07:49:50 PM

^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.

Simple. I MADE IT UP JUST FOR FUN!
Sorry about that outburst there. We have our humorous moments.

StrutEggStealer · **Reply #26 on:** October 10, 2012, 01:31:22 PM

Strut the Egg Stealer is my first favorite LBT character of all time. And I wanted my username to illustrate just HOW MUCH I wuvs the LBT universe, I chose my first favorite LBT charry.
Pterano's another favorite, but he comes along later in my list of faves.
Hey, Stone of Cold Fire came out in the 2000's. Sorry, Pterano, you should have come out earlier

LBTLover1 · **Reply #27 on:** October 12, 2012, 07:57:14 PM

Actually, my username that I most use is "Robbing" which started from a game I played. Apparently, I deemed that inappropriate for a forum like this so I switched to my YouTube username, LBTLover1.

FreckledOne · **Reply #28 on:** October 19, 2012, 12:53:27 PM

I was trying to think up a variation on my actual name, but I decided on a descriptive term instead.
So I went with FreckledOne, since I seem to be one of the only ones in my family with noticable freckles, and since I like CamelCase

LittleDas75 · **Reply #29 on:** July 19, 2020, 07:57:48 PM

Little Das is my favorite character from Dinosaur Planet, heck he may be my favorite dinosaur character period, so I decided to pick this username just to express that love.

The 75 is also supposed to be a reference to the fact the episode he is in takes place 75 million years ago.

Sneak · **Reply #30 on:** July 20, 2020, 05:20:49 AM

Sneak is name of my LBT dinosaur OC from fanfiction I wanted to write once.
Ozband Iresh, nickname I use around the whole internet, is name of lizard character I met in my dream about trilogy of huge puzzle games. This character's appearance was recolored version of Thud from LBT TV series, and is my main inpiration animal for making my own games.

jassy · **Reply #31 on:** July 24, 2020, 12:43:52 PM

My username was a nickname a lot of my friends had for me back when I used to roleplay online pretty regularly, and it’s just a shortened version of my real name. So not much of a backstory there.

Vojeds · **Reply #32 on:** July 24, 2020, 05:49:51 PM

I kinda stole mine

StardustSoldier · **Reply #33 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.

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.

Anagnos · **Reply #34 on:** July 25, 2020, 04:42:39 AM

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.

its pretty straight forward, i saw my friends game name and i basically made own version of it, the original name was Lojed, imo mine is cooler

Ducky123 · **Reply #36 on:** July 27, 2020, 04:45:10 AM

Mine is pretty self-explanatory

Ducky is my favourite character and 123 is just uhh... a random number really

Little Bro · **Reply #37 on:** August 01, 2020, 02:46:20 PM

I chose mine mostly for the fact that I am a little bro.

It was also kind of chosen because of Spike. He is a little brother, too. I wanted to go with something more LBT, but I couldn't exactly think of anything.

But, little bro is not a username I regretted.

StardustSoldier · **Reply #38 on:** August 01, 2020, 03:02:45 PM

^It suits you.

Little Bro · **Reply #39 on:** August 02, 2020, 01:49:26 PM

^Thanks.

I thought about Chomper'sChum as my username, but Protege said that it might get shortened to "Chum" by some members.

I prefer being called "Bro" over "Chum."
