Is there a special reason why you don't just delete it, Petrie?

Alex, is that actually your real name?

Yeah.

Vilstrup · **Reply #102 on:** July 06, 2009, 03:26:59 PM

Okay... I've just never seen a username, which was actually a persons name, but without any numbers. (Except my own, maybe)

this is my story on how i got my user name....it's sorta short though

one day my mum and dad got home and they had some cartoons that they bought for me called metabots, i really liked the show....after at least 2-3 years i then went to a private school and i met a great friend called Orin, he told me about a game called bots, it seemed really cool. for my user on that game i wanted it to be metabee.....although that was taken...so i chose metadude, later on on different websites i added the 1234 the reason i did this was because if you add them all up it makes 10, when i turned 10 it was my best birthday so far. that's how i got my user name

An old nickname of mine was agar (its contrived from my name). Raga is just agar backwards. There are times when I use agar, it was once my regular user name for whatever I did online (usually with some numbers after it). I first used raga when I couldn't get an agar username I liked, had to use some ridiculous numbers, and then started using it in place were I wanted to hide my identity a little more. I don't care about that much anymore. At least not here, my real name is Andy and you guys can call me that if you want.

Vilstrup · **Reply #105 on:** July 07, 2009, 02:08:09 PM

Well hello Andy, my name is Sebastian.
I've used Vilstrup alot through my time on the internet, but if that doesn't work, I use Glindtvad instead.
But mostly I can use Vilstrup.

Very nice to meet you Sebastian

Vilstrup · **Reply #107 on:** July 08, 2009, 12:18:58 PM

Indeed, where are you from Andy... the states?

Drake · **Reply #108 on:** July 08, 2009, 12:21:55 PM

My current name started forming when I first joined fanfiction.net. I called myself Hazad90 after a character of mine and 90 which is my favorite number, I guess. Later I changed it to Dragonsoul90 because I like dragons so much. Later, I wanted to incorporate some way to make the name shorter, because someone had shortened it to DS and I thought those two letters could be used in a someone insulting manner if someone chose to think of two alternate words for the letters to stand for. I didn't want to confuse the people watching me by changing my name too much though, so I changed my name to Drake Dragonsoul. (Drake being an obvious dragon related name and something people could call me without shortening my name.)

Is there a special reason why 90 is your favorite number?

Drake · **Reply #110 on:** July 08, 2009, 12:39:55 PM

Not really.

You guys aren't that small when you count Greenland.

My newest commonly used username is Sapphirescales. I like the color sapphire (and the sapphire radeon graphics card) and I like the character Saphira so I put scales in there to remind me of a dragon. I was thinking of making my new username Sapphiredragon, but it was way too over-used and didn't look as nice as Sapphirescales so that's the username I eventually chose. At first I found the username to be too feminine for my taste, but I eventually got used to it.

Another reason I wanted to choose a username with the word "sapphire" in it is because sapphire was one of those words I just could NEVER spell right! Now I can spell it with my eyes closed. You don't know how embarrassing it is for a repair tech such as myself to be talking about sapphire tech on the tech forums and always spell sapphire wrong!

I've mentioned this in another topic, but I got my username from one of my favorite movies, "The Breakfast Club,", and the 85 comes from the year it was released.

Riiiggghhtt.... Greenland part of Denmark......... ehm, they share our royalty, but they tend to govern themselves. Besides I don't personally call Greenland a part of Denmark. When you say Denmark, you mean the small country just above Germany, and below Sweden and Norway. Greenland and FÊ¯erne is not really counted, unless you mean the Kingdom of Denmark, which I would say counts it all.

I think I messed this up, badly :unsure: :unsure:

Okay off to something else

raga · **Reply #117 on:** July 08, 2009, 06:11:28 PM

Ahhh, I see, my bad

Vilstrup · **Reply #118 on:** July 09, 2009, 05:34:22 AM

Don't worry about it.... I find it even surprising, that you new Greenland was part of the Danish Kingdom

The Friendly Sharptooth · **Reply #119 on:** July 09, 2009, 10:03:15 PM

My name has two meanings- one referencing to the nickname of the Land Before Time character of whom I am very fond, and the other to a more literal explanation. I am told I come across in a friendly manner by my peers, just as I can say in regards to those I know here on the forum. Henceforth my explanation for the literal part of my nickname here.

The third word in my title was also taken in consideration literally. One of my adult canine teeth (upper right) is longer and sharper than any of my other teeth- a slight deformity. Thus, my alias here is both figurative and literal in regards to its origin. (I hope I do not come across as boasting about the friendliness part, as I do not call myself such, but my nickname is based off the words of those around me.)
