My username history - PC and beyond

So, during my time on PC and a few other areas I have had my fair share of usernames, not just here but also on extended areas on the Showdown server and other social media platforms I have used, so here goes:

Hikari10
The one that started it all and got me my name, well the nicknames I'm most well known by here. It was 2011 and I was on Bulbagarden Forums and I registered this name, which was basically the Japanese name of my (at-the-time) fave of the female protagonists in Pokemon, which was Hikari aka Dawn. The 10 is a reference to my birth month, which is October. I never use this anymore because it was such a noob name two years after I first came up with it.

Hikamaru
The name I'll likely stick with forever, and this one's got a good inspiration to it. I first used the name back in 2013 on the Showdown server, after I had finished with the phase I was going through at the time and wanted something that was "cute with a badass look" and so I took the Hikari of my original username, and combined it with Mijumaru which is the Japanese name of Oshawott, my fave Pokemon. The result was this, and no it's not based on Shikamaru Nara.

And these were ones I only used on Showdown:

Daikenki
Another one tied to the Oshawott line, this one being Samurott's Japanese time. I never get many chances to use it as it's usually already registered on most platforms, likely by a fan of the Pokemon itself. But it's one of my fave Japanese names of a Pokemon and has a catchy sense to it. Best memory of me with this name was the whole "kinky" joke, never forget it.

Zeddawott
Zedd (a EDM producer) + Oshawott. I had an unhealthy love of EDM music at the time, and it was also the first new username I used on the server after I lost my voice rank due to criteria changes (I was voiced member from January 2012 - May 2013) and was never able to reclaim it again so it was basically an intentional move to push me to the bottom of the barrel in the username list, and it was very literal. Still not as good of a hybrid as Hikamaru, though.

oshyhikari
The username I have on Tumblr and Twitter, and one I previously used on the Showdown server as well. It's basically Oshawott + Hikari again, and the only one I used all lower-case in. I'll likely never use it again for purposes that aren't my big social media stuff.

Hiikaarii
This one was mainly for laughs, because some loved saying "hikaaaariiii" and such when leaving messages, because it's like they worship me for being cute or something. I'll probably only use it if someone wants me to give them a laugh.

And names I might try to use on the server one day:

Admurai
Another one related to Samurott, this one being it's German name. I like the ring it has to it.

Pseudologia
It's a reference to Psuedologia Fantastica, one of my all-time fave songs by Foster The People. It has a deep connection to me and sorta rolls off the tongue a lot.

Your names are all really cool. They sound good, right after I figure out how to exactly say them. lol.

Chicken Fingers is very self explanatory I think. I just love chicken fingers.

This was pretty fun to read though.
