I don't really remember, as it has been like 2 years.
I think I just came up with some random words,

I have multiple usernames across the internet, but Noblejanobii specifically harkens back to my days in chatrooms when generation 5 was first being released. I really liked Servine and the site I was using misspelled its Japanese name as Janobii instead of Janovy (though I've been told the pronunciation is similar/the same). So I stuck with that for a while but as I joined bigger forums that name would be taken so I needed to make it a bit more unique and just picked a random adjective to toss in.

From the fact that people always think I'm adorable... so I thought "Adorbz" was cuter, and I added to "fangirl" since I am one! :3 Thus, AdorbzFangirl was born! It's my favorite username, and I often try to use it wherever if I can.

Ahh another Servine fan :D

Back when I was finishing up Highschool, when CSGO had that huge revival in popularity, my friends thought it would be cool to start a clan based on the periodic table.

Criiiiiiinge

I've been working on giving my username a different but equally cringy meaning.

Funny story (not really xD), but my username comes from a Pokémon!

Phantump to be exact xD Phantump is known as the "Stump Pokémon".
So I took the Stump and added 'y', to make it roll off the tongue better.

My username's real meaning will go completely unnoticed unless I actually explain it (which saddens me, but oh well). The word "harmonie", as I chose it, doesn't refer to 'harmony', but is still musical in meaning. It is a term used in Europe dating back to the Baroque era and on which refers to an ensemble of woodwind and brass instruments. In my reading, I also recall it referring to the wind section of the orchestra. (I stumbled upon this term while reading a history book on the bassoon. lol)

I love woodwind and brass instruments. I play/have played quite a few. I also own quite a collection of them. I'm obsessed. This username is kind of perfect for me. It also can reflect on me being a musicology student. lol I just wish this meaning weren't so darn obscure. Oh well.

Treecko is my favorite Pokemon. So...Treecko. I usually go by AWsquared online and simply put it's my initials AW and squared. Originally i went by AWolfsquared or AWolfAWolf. I hate typing all that in so I just shortened it to AWsquared.

So, I have had 4 accounts on this forum. One of them I just lost access to due to password reset things. Two I just forgot about, and this one.

My first was PokeHunterBlack, because back then I really wanted to make my own fan game. It would have been based around hunting valuable pokemon, selling them for money, and killing trainers you beat. Quite dark for a 14 year old. I can't exactly remember why I chose Black, I guess because I was at an edgy phase.

The other two were literally just Neo in front of one of my favourite pokemon at the time.

My current one I actually got from another fan game, Pokemon Rejuvenation. The character I'm using, their name is Decibel. I thought it was a cool name. Since someone else here has that name, I added 575 to it. Not much to it really. XD

My name is Emily, which I like to shorten to "Em". Ghost is my favorite Pokemon type, and if I had to compare myself to a fantastic creature, no contest - I'd be a ghost.

Autistic + Unicorn = Auticorn

It's something I came up with for some reason. I love unicorns lately, so I wanted something that represented this a lot. :3 That, and the fact that I'm also autistic as well.

My brother memed about his user midlsleet and then I counter memes with juliorain as in the rain on your parade the end to your happy day because I have arrived for victory. It was also July and raining.... instead of July I thought the Spanish Julio was much more interesting and doubled as an actual name. I decided to keep rain English for the multilingual effect.... a lot of thought went into this xD
