How did you get your username?

[Bri MT]

It's just a name variation.

I'm a less cool version of Joseph41. 

J41's irl name isn't Joseph tho

[Jimmmy]

J41's irl name isn't Joseph tho

Hence being less cool. 

[Joseph41]

It's just a name variation.

I'm a less cool version of Joseph41. 

No shame in that.

[Owlbird83]

I like owls and birds. The numbers were just random because I thought I should have numbers.
I told my mum my username and she said everyone will think I was born in 1983 or something because when people put 2 numbers in their email it means they were born in that year

[Erutepa]

My name is an incredibly modest product of:
Erudite (meaning knowledged)
The
Pa (meaning father)
Such as to reflect that I am, in aspiration, the father of the knowledged - a teacher if you like.

but actually my name is just a friend's (not from AN) username (aperture) backwards, chosen as such cause I'm #incrediblyinventive

[Comet striker]

I got this name while deciding my username for gmail.
Looking up at the starry sky at an airport, I was like "Man imagine just hitting that outta the sky" --> "comets are like really fast baseballs" -->"Strike the comet' --> "Comet striker"
Idk I made that shit up when I was like 12 so

[flightlogs]

aw, i love threads like this. mine came from a fascination with flying and aeroplanes, so: flight logs.

[turinturambar]

Mine comes from a potentially unhealthy interest in Tolkien, and I find Turin (or Turambar - Master of Doom) a particularly fascinating character, though not I suspect particularly like me...

I was reading the Fall of Gondolin recently. Did you know that Tolkien had a fight with Balrog and fatal plunge scene more than two decades before he started writing Lord of the Rings?  With golden-haired Glorfindel as the gladsome protagonist?

So where were we?  Ah yes, Tolkien. Great writer. Pity so much of his work remained incomplete and had to wait long after his death for publication.

[tocoolforschool]

I was thinking about school when I made mine, thought I love school!
Typed tocoolforschool.
Thought that's a great name when I want a 98+ Atar! Thought oh well, pressed sign up.
Thus I am stuck with my name! 

[Ionic Doc]

Ionic - cause I do chemistry ...
Doc- Because I think I want to be a doctor

ill find out soon enough if my username actually reflects me 

[jkay__]

jk as in just kidding, and okay, mix, boom jkay. just kidding okay? it just sounds nice. my name also starts with a j, and i'm always okay, so jkay?

[chopsticks]

My chinese friend came over and he was so shocked and disappointed that I was eating my cereal with chopsticks that ever since my nickname became chopsticks

[Sare-Bear]

My name is Sarah and when I was younger I often got called Sare-Bear.  I used to hate it as a nickname (I prefer Sezza) but I kind of like it as a username.
