Airuin 03-24-2007 03:14 PM

my username doesn't mean anything in particular. I just liked how it looks/sounds, and it seems to have come together by itself which is not a bad thing either! ;)

Moocat 03-24-2007 03:16 PM

Moocat came from my original Neopet's account "Mewkau".

From Mewkau, my friend made up the name Moocat.

And I've just always stuck with it.

Doofus Soda 03-24-2007 03:49 PM

  • My name was Dragon Flavored Soda on gaia, and in initials it was 'DFS'. Someone I talked to said that if you tried to pronounce it with vowels, it would sound like 'Doofus.' So that's where Doofus came from, and I added Soda so people would recognize me easier. xD

OMG DFS!?
xD
I bet you'll never guess who this is >3


Edit: I chose this name because I'm obviously obsessed with the color lol

Chemicat 03-24-2007 04:22 PM

Mine is just a typo I made and now I use it as my usernames on some forums. :P I meant to type "chemical"... this was back when my username was Chemical Imbalance on Gaia.

fongmingyun 03-24-2007 04:30 PM

It's my name. In Chinese (cantonese). Yeah, so exciting. I know.

Alegretto 03-24-2007 04:45 PM

Alegretto is a musical term. I've just always been horribly fond of how it looks and sounds.

Chroma 03-24-2007 05:04 PM

I mine used to be a nickname for my old gaia account before it was hacked.
My friends still called me 'Chroma' for short even after my IGN changed so yeah, I got accustomed to it. XDDD <3

Ise 03-24-2007 05:22 PM

Ise happens to be my nickname. It's also the original name of an account on a prior site, my DA and Photobucket, so I felt it'd be more appropriate to use and shape this avatar around ^^

Amai Tora 03-24-2007 05:28 PM

When I first signed up with Gaia, I intended for my name to mean " Sweet ( as in nature) tiger".
Amai= sweet ( as in taste)
Tora=Tiger
It doesn't really work the way I had originally intended, but it's my nick name now. :3

PMS the Demonic Pirate 03-24-2007 05:28 PM

On Gaia, someone told me I looked like a Demonic Pirate, and someone also told me I always seem to have PMS-like moodswings, so they started calling me PMS, so I added "The Demonic Pirate" for humorous reasons...hence my name being PMS the Demonic Pirate.

xD People on gaia come up with the weirdest nicknames!

[ morph ] 03-24-2007 05:32 PM

Morph as in Metamorphosis
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Metamorphosis
probably the 2nd or 3rd one down applies to me
this is my name on gaia and i chose that it should also be my name on Menewsha because it still stuck and fit me well ^.^

bluessence 03-24-2007 05:47 PM

So my name is pretty lame.. I was trying to come up with a name for my art website, and wanted to include the word blue because it's my favorite color..

so I called it Blue Essence, and the website address I shortened to bluessence after that I opened up a DA account with the same name, and continued to use it everywhere else.

now I wish I'd gone with something else but I don't really think I can change at this point, i've been using it for years.

Enniel 03-24-2007 06:28 PM

i dunno, i just made it up one day, rearranging the letters of my name

Idiosyncratic 03-24-2007 06:29 PM

Idiosyncratic meaning 1.a mental constitution, veiw or feeling, or mode of behavior perculiar to a person.
2. anything highly indivisualized or eccentric.
3. a mode of expressionpeculiar to an author.

the second one being the one i took it from.

reign 03-24-2007 06:47 PM

Reign is a shorten verison of Blackreign, but i don't go by that much anymore, recently i've been dubbed Rated R cause i have a issue with being gutter minded for adult viewing only :D :lol: :twisted:

but also Reign sounds so cool, who doesn't wanna rule something, even ifs a bucket of popcorn!....Popcorn Rulers!!!!! :lol:

Miss Charlaine 03-24-2007 06:52 PM

Charlaine...
Charlaine is my middle name and my grandmother's first name.
Miss was just added for elegance, I suppose. XD

Moon 03-24-2007 06:56 PM

Uh ... that round thing that comes up at night.

Yes im aware that it doesn't "come up".

Anyways, my name is lame, i need a new one with meaning. D:

Shishunki 03-24-2007 06:57 PM

I got it when I first joined Gaia. It was out of boredom, and I couldn't decide what to use. So I just got one of my old Japanese Kids books and looked up a random character. I found one I like'd called Shishunki. So I decided to keep it. Though eventually though my studies (I speak and write Japanese), I found it may mean "Puberty".
Ah the fun I had that day.

ToriKat 03-24-2007 07:58 PM

  • Tori is my name...then Kat is a misspelling of cat. Whooo, went "English" all the way.

    I personally want to change my identity to something else, but everywhere I've gone, I've been too lazy to bother making up new nicknames.

    Honestly, I think it's kind of funny when people pick random Japanese or other languages they're not fluent in to pick names, especially after watching one anime...In Eyeshield 21, there's an episode where the Japanese team plays the American team. One of the American football players had a tatoo that read Big Useful and another had Small Helpful in Japanese. Well, when you put Big and Useful kanji together, it translates as sh*t. The Small and Helpful kanji together came out to translate as pee. ^^;
    So....I avoid playing with things I don't know much about! XD

I'm not incredibly fluent, but I do know a lot. My family's lived there that's why I'm trying to learn more.
But yes the Japanese Language can be very interesting/amusing.
Like Hemeroids is written with chi" instead of the normal shi". Dolphin's kanji is River Pig, but Pufferfish is Ocean Pig. Course here's hoping I didn't get mixed around with that. ^^' Here's to not feeling well! Cheers!

lostinXgrav 03-24-2007 08:12 PM

Lost = not found.
Grav is short for Gravity/Gravitation/Grave...Kinda an ecclectice mix of thigns attrating to each other and impressing upon them.
There an x in there for no reason...But hey, I suppose it adds to the mysteriousity? xD

Vamp X 03-24-2007 08:22 PM

It's just stuck with me. Started it on one forum and it's haunted me ever since. That and I have issues with change - If I come in drunk one night and try logging on it's just too much hassle to remember them all and to what sites the belong.
