How did you come up with your username? It doesn't have to be just the one on this site, either; you can explain others if you want, too. ^^

My nickname here, Shadow, started when I was in fifth grade. My teacher called several people by nicknames, and I suggested that my nickname be Shadow, which at the time I had just randomly come up with. He liked it, since I was quiet and, at the time, I followed teachers around as they moved around the classroom, waiting for my question to be answered. xD

Another online name of mine, Sandstone-Shadow, was an attempt to make Shadow more original, since it's pretty common. A different attempt was September-Shadow, but I liked Sandstone-Shadow more.

There's also the name Qyuarkrien, which I'm pretty proud of. ^^ I randomly typed a bunch of letters, then went back and tried to sound it out. That gave me a general idea of a pronounciation, and from there I basically respelled the approximate pronounciation. =D

Kay, so my cousin and I are in the FR/LG chat, and she suggests to me that I should take up gymnastics. I type, "But I'm not fexible." Of course, she busted out laughing, and I suddenly realized what I wrote, and corrected myself.

A few weeks/days later, she emailed me and said "Hey, Fexible. ^_~ lol".

The nickname was funny, so I kept it. Now there are many nicknames I go by that are derived from Fexible. Fex, Fexxy, Fexi, and so on. XD

I also used to go by XANA55, but that's another story. ^_~

Quite a coincidence, my mom calls me her Shadow, since wherever she goes, I go. XD

My name's cliche. I'd like to change it.

RyouBakura, I guess, doesn't much require an explanation.

My other (and my favourite) name is Envoy Of The End. It's from my prized Yu-Gi-Oh card, Chaos Emperor Dragon: Envoy Of The End. ;-)

Well... I have this name EVERYWHERE i can 8D Why ? Thats a good question.. Erhm.. I wanted a nickname and dont have one in the real or on the net. So i made one out of fantasy and lots of happy colors 'n stuff like that xD

Later in my life some (danish) people call me 9Q 8D Coz' 9 in danish i Ni and the cku part sounds like a Q x3 Off Topic D: Sorry

Zephyr was special and happy-sounding. ^^ And furthermore, I was the only person I knew who could spell it right. So I devised it for the internet, and for my Pokesona.

Then I tacked on Plusle to the end so it would be more original, on some forums.

I'm also known as Involuntary Twitch, which was a random stroke of genius on my part when, at Mew's Hangout Refuge, I discovered to my delight that I could change my name freely. After successive parody names (like GoldenSunEspeon, so named because a friend of mine was SilverMoonUmbreon), I randomly typed in Involuntary Twitch. And it was cool, so it stayed, and shortly afterwards became my alias on PMF and several other websites.

I was Praseodymium for a short period of time, too. ^^ That was fun. I should change my name to that somewhere.

Well, my original name was Pointy_bunnyc, which I thought up when I was like...10. Anyways, I had to think up a username to join a forum, and since my 10 year old mind had absolutely no creativity whatsoever, it just coughed up the name "pointy_bunnyc" xD I don't know how.

I've used that name everywhere until later, when I decided that my name was a bit too long. So I shortened it to Pointy, and that's what I'm usually known as.

I also has another name I used on the internet, which is Draca Orbire. If you've visited my deviantArt page before, you would most likely recognize that name. It was supposed to be a name for my Pokesona. Her name is in Romanian. Her first name is supposed to be "Drac a", 'drac' meaning 'demon' or 'devil' or something, and 'a' meaning 'of'. And orbire means 'blindness'. Her name is based off her childhood, in which whoever saw Draca would think of her as a monster, or a demon. Also she used to have pink retinas, which explains the blindness part. she isn't really blind, it was just a random attribute i thought up xD;

Yeah there's a gazillion of those! xD Same with Shadow and Zephyr...but I've seen WAAAAY more Uchiha Sasukes than anything else...



Well, let's see, been a while since I backtracked some old screenames. First was LONG ago. I couldn't think of anything, so I joined as X Master randomly (c'mon, I was little). That has got to be the lamest username evah. I think I later had it changed...

My friend and I were goofing around one day long ago, so we created two characters, two agents, to be exact (our siblings' characters are negligible). I was Agent X and he was Agent 1-E. The names were random, both with agent in them. I had an old fanfic about agents, though it was awfully-written and I lost motivation 'cause the ending was so good and the rest of the story was awful =P. The agents were a policing organization who wielded the Phantom Gun (it rains a foe's life force and then converts it to projectles). They wore helmets and jetpacks and capes and...I'm getting off-topic. You can still find our names at IG...

My friend had a Duel Masters *gags* board once (which went through six stages in its life), somewhat large. I initially, with lack of a good name, joined as Duel Master *rolls eyes*, which meant I was DM for a while. That got old. So I later got it changed to Angel Commander, a play with something from the game the site was mainly about. That got old. So I changed to Angel Ruler for something different. That got old. I think I was next Duel Master, for nostalgia. That got old. Maybe next I was Agent X. My friends did not like that at all...they still called me DM or AR. So in the site's last stage (27 months ago roughly), I became Agent Angel Ruler Twenty-four. Eww. AARTF. Not my thing. Well anyways, that nam was a melting together of many old usernames.

Between the third form of the said site^ and me joining SPPf, I hung out at a YGO! GX board. I was never really into the whole dueling thing, and I typically thought the people there were losers, but oh well, I got to be an arrogant and tyrannical day-admin by December. Anyways, I was for two hours Ra Twenty-four (Ra plus a random #--maybe derived from someplace I've since forgotten) and when given my entrance exam (they put us into dorms -_-...I was in Ra Yellow and eventually was the 'Head Teacher' of it), I had Bakura =P change my name to Agent Myst. That name was a change to Agent X. I wanted something that sounded cool yet not lame and old, so when looking around I saw a case to my old Myst game and it hit me. I was to be Agent Myst for a long time (and still am at SPPf <<). This name was actually first born at my personal forums, but that's insignificant...

When the above-mentioned site was cracked a bit before I joined SPPf, the webmistress handed the site to me. I declined, and so it was given to someone else, though I was invited, of course. I came there under the pseudonym 'Bucket Mouth'. I told the one called Rebellion from my game board in person shorly after and he was then dying laughing. The name initially came from a line in LoZ: LA (best game evah). In Mabe Village when you go into Ulrira's house and use his telephone, the Bucket Mouse is called. That easter egg (I s'pose) amused me ever since I saw that eight years ago, so Rebellion at some point nicknamed me Bucket Mouth. He still occasionally calls me that...

...but Bucket Mouth never stuck. And Agent Myst got old. SPPf's name change topic opened a little less than a year ago, and with that came an opportunity. I was getting suggestions from others as to how I should go about finding a new name, but that didn't help. I paced in circles and all of that junk trying to find something that fit as much as 'AM', which is little different than 'Alec', really. I eventually came to it. IRL (and at my game board =P) I'm known most well for my handwriting. It's, well, I think it's fine but nobody else would agree with me =P. And because I'm so two-faced (or maybe eight-faced) and mysterious, Illegible fit me well. So I adopted that sorta unofficially after then.

Apparently, Illegible is still 'my name' now; however, I intend on changing it at the new year. One more month and I get yet another identity...

EDIT: That was fun xP...
EDIT2: Ack, I forgot another big one ><. At Acanthite, I have another false identity, so to speak. But I'm not gonna tell you who I am =P...that name came from my game forums, though...

Icebreath was for a Warriors forum *coughblazingsilverpeltcough* and I got it through a Warriors random name generator... well, it wasn't random, I later found out it had a pattern, but whatever. There was Bluesayer, Dawn-something, Thornclaw, and Icebreath, because I reset the thing a couple of times, but Icebreath, to me, sounded better... so yeah. I also used healing.rain for some stuff [not a lot, mind you] because I made this avvie with a Dratini looking at a baby plant in the rain, so that's where I got that... so yeah.

My name is pretty simple. Slash. But, the story doesn't end there.

My first time ever on a forum, Eevee's HQ, I had to think of some user name. I chose infernape, because it was my favorite Pokémon at the time. Once Eevee-chan let me become a beta-tester for her v3 project, I started to consider changing my name. I was losing interest in Pokémon and forming an addiction to music. I told her about it, and she changed my name to Slash, which I had requested. That name has stuck to me ever since. And the explanation of where I got that name is that my favorite band at the time was Guns N' Roses, and I thought that the guitarist looked cool. So, I chose that name.

When I told Vee about the name I wanted, I actually had 3 different names that I wanted: Slash, Clive Winston (from Guitar Hero), and Les Paul. I thought about it, and chose the simplest, Slash.

Well, a LONG time ago, my name was like... <embarrass>Latios184(and Gardevoir184) or something (yes, point and laugh)</embarrass> before I decided that name was really, really unoriginal and started a search for a new one. After hunting down through various namegens, I found I liked this name.

However, I'm gradually switching over to a new name, Cevn. The name came from the author of some OMG fanfiction, and I think it sounds really cool. (I pronounce it like Seven.) Not to mention for some reason it's never taken.

That's the story of my name.

but if you add an ice to it and then change it around then it's awezum!!! XD

Whoppin' Weavile- what I first join as on serebii- I thought it was kool to have an adjective that started with the same letter as a pokemon.
>
FuzzyWuzzyFurret- i kept this one for a little long, made a forum based on it, though it was the same concept and I don't like it now. XD
>
IceMasterX- I like Weavile and it was an ice type so i said ice master and I thought the x sounded kool at the end and it would help so that the username wouldn't be taken so much
>
HailZtorm- I usually use this on things I'm joining at the time. I was in a z-ish mood when I made it up and it's still based on ice so... yah.

Angel Kurikura, master of the Wind.

Angel is a blonde, hyper catgirl I started out drawing first, then roleplaying second. Her sidekick is Bobo the monkey, and her power is Wind. I've sort-of adopted her as my official mascot. :B):

It all started when I started watching Yugioh GX. I got addicted to the work 'Kaiser' and made a character based off of it after I watched Naruto. Then I went by the name KaiserRyou. I dropped the 'Ryou' and now I'm sticking with Kaiser. On some sites I go by Usurper Kaiser, the third installment to the names.

I... I haven't posted in this? Gasp!

Well, I was thinking of a name when I was joining some forums, and I thought of Pokemon that I liked. First I thought of Meowth. Then Cyndaquil, but I thought that it would be taken, so I stuck some numbers on the end.

Some other names I go by on other places:

Snowycat- I have a cat name Snowy. He is awesome. End of discussion.
Gomphrena/Globe Amaranth/Amaranth- Globe Amaranth is my favorite plant. Gomphrena is another name for it.

A few I didn't mention;

TMaI; Shamfully, it was based of a film called The King And I. It struck me one day.

Blackavenger; Sasuke. Of course.

Posionmurder; Purpose Typo! My old neopets name (other than Pokemonhugger [O-O]), I liked it because at that time I was into emonic names.

Ooh I've been in a King and I play before. =3

I like Zs, Xs, and Ys in my usernames not becuz I like them, but becuz they can add difference and can replace letters. Z- S or X, Y-I, and X-Z and sometimes C for me. o.o
I've use a username called XyberMist on a certain forum... yah.

I'm really short IRL, too short for my aged (I don't know am I even 150cm o3o;;) and that's why my nicname is "shrimp". And I usually have "godzillamood" on (Kill everyone, eat things... Like mom's pencils) and that's it. "Shrimpyzilla". Such as a perfect nicname for me c:

Anniku's turn of wonder and bliss...
o3o;;

Anyhow, my first name was of something awful, and I shall never reveal that as it would mentally scar thou. xD My second name was HeatherHedgie (O____O) on a Sonic forum. Blargh. I hate it. D: So, I finally decided it was time for a more original, cooler name.

And so came Anniku. =D By now I had quit the Sonic forum. But that's off topic, Anniku is Anniku for quite a large amount of reasons. I'm not saying what but, somewhere in that name, there is my middle name~ That was where I started with the word. Then I had to add something to it to make it more, er, juicy?

And so came the 'Nikie' part. Random letters I doodled down, sounded out, and delete until it was bite-sized. o3o After that, I slapped it onto the end. I decided I didn't want three n's, so I got rid of one. Then, decided that 'Annikie' was unusually weird and girly-sounding, I disliked it and starting to scratch it again, using Annik as a base.

THEN LO AND BEHOLD...

STAR WARS. O_o

Anikan (sp? xD) Skywalker just came out of nowhere and hit me in the head, and then I slapped an a at the end, making "Annika." And so became a character's name, but I still didn't like it all the way.

I started replacing the a for other letters, I believe I went through:
Annika
Anniki
Anniku

And then I liked the sound of Anniku, and kept that. Soon after people at one forum that I dun go to anymore starting nicknaming me AS, for Anniku Skywalker. Lol. So that became a new name for a while before it got old and went back to Anniku.

Then, I starting to pick up new names out of pure randomsity.

Uxierra ~ Uxie/Torterra, because I love them so. =o

Amberfoot ~ I had a Warriors character drilling on my head that needed a name besides -kit, -paw, and -star. <_<;;

Aerialstar ~ LE GASP, THE ALL PWNSOME AND USED ON EVERY WARRIORS CHARACTER'S NAME, -STAR!! <333

Flarepaw ~ I could not think of anything past Flare- that day. -.-;;

Bearstar ~ More... used-ly-ness.

And now I believe it's finally time for a name change. Anniku's gotten old, but I'll probably still use it, and the others I've only used in one place each. xD

I srly don't like my username anymore. Blah. <.< If you really want to know where it came from, it's in my intro. I don't feel like digging it out right now. xD

Other names:

Crystal- Just for the nice sound of it. I use this on most of the forums I join. I was thinking of changing mine to it here too, but apparently it's already taken. Might use Krystal, though. (Doesn't that look cool?)

Hazelmist- The name I go my on Blazing Silverpelt, my first ever RPG and my second ever forum (beaten only by here, which was my first) If you can't tell, it's a Warrior-styled name.

Brightsong/star- One used on Victorious and the other used on Eon Clans, both are variations of the same name. Once again, another Warrior name.

Uh... Latias and Latios are meh favorite Pogemonz. <3 ... and I thought Chan sounded cool for the end of it. :3

Here, I'm abby-Absol which was going to be my webmisstress name but now Twilight sounds better now that I think about it.On The PF domain I'm Shadow, on TCoD forums I'm Golumbreon, and on VNBlab I'm Sliv-ee.Where do I come up with these things?

Meh, my favorite animal ever. And I don't see many people running around with this username.

Scince I changed my username at several places...

Here:Twilight comes from the fact that I like darkness.(W00t go my webmisstress name!)

TUH(future registration):Twilight. See above.

TCoD:Shadowstar. I like the name alot.

EH:Twilight. See top.

VNB:Scince I forgot my password and have a different e-mail, Moonshine due to my site mascot's name.

TTV(TPPV forums)**:Twilight on account of webmisstress name.

Poke-Sposion:Twilight. (Disappeared and is not going back for information that is none of you guys' buisness, no offense.)

Furious Pokeball*:Blizzard because I was obsessed with Articuno at the time.

TsF*&^:Twilight. See top.

TST:Blizzard_Blitz. See Blizzard.

*=Moderator at the place.

**=Administratior at the place.

*&^=Forum is sorta deadish.

I've had three (Including this one) in the past...

My first one, Axl, back from when I was at MH, came from a bit of an obsession with Megaman X7, and Axl. After a few months, I figured I didn't want the name anymore, and it was too uncreative, so I just changed my name to something having to do with my favorite Pokemon: Vaporeon, leading to:

Aqua the Vaporeon. Another uncreative streak from yours truly. I chose Aqua cause that's what I always name my first Vaporeon in Pokemon games.

Aqua, my third username, I started using after a couple of years of Aqua the Vaporeon. I figured I might as well start using Aqua, since most people called me Aqua anyway, so I figured 'Whatever", and just started using Aqua.

Not much story behind my name. I guess I really just wanted to keep the name simple.

Well....

1)I like Espeons so thats why there is an espeon in my username.
2)'chan' sounds cute so the username ends with it.

That's all!

Bellomence is a combination of my two favorite Pokémon: Bellossom and Salamence. I combined their names and after that, I came up with my username!

Bellomence is my username in most of the forums that I visit. :P

I came with Axphear because he was a character I used to draw who, was some type of hero. Really I thought Axphear just sounded cool. [XP] My name used to Mezza but I ended up getting a name change... ...Now that I think of Axphear, It's kind of like Axe-fear. :<_<:

Other names I have on other sites (Usually non-pokemon sites.) are FeatherHead, WindKeeper, or WindSock.

Well, when I joined my first forum ever, I went as Eevee4444, as Eevee was my favorite Pokemon back then because it was cute and had so many evolutions, and the number 4 appeared 4 times because that was my favorite number. Then, when I looked around the forum more, I saw all these epic usernames, not something generic with some numbers following it. So then I decided to get rid of those numbers, and because I though "Eevee" was really generic, I decided to add somthing... more, I guess. I knew that most people prized shiny Pokemon, so I was "Shiny Eevee" for a long time.

Well, that went well for a while. I had quite a few nicknames; S_E, SE, and Shiny were the more common ones. Then, I soon found out that the first two were getting used less and less, until it was totally obsolete in the forums and the chatroom, and every called me as Shiny. I then decided to change my username to Shiny, as it had a nice ring to it, and every new me as "Shiny" instead of "Shiny Eevee", let alone "SE".

On most forums I go on, I'm usually Shiny Eevee, Shiny, or Shiny Eevee14, or some sort of variation of those. The 14 came because I was born on 6/14, and I liked the number 14 more than 6. My real name, Carolyn, is a bit long, so I go by Lyn or Lyni in chatrooms, occasionally Lynigami when I feel weird. ^^;
