Exactly what the title states: What does your User Name mean? Where did it come from? Why did you pick that particular combination of letters, numbers, and symbols?

My original user name (back in the day) on old forums I used to visit was "Dragoon Vince", a combination of my favorite game and character at that time; The Legend of The Dragoon, and Vincent Valentine from FFVII.

Later on I picked up Dean from the main character from Wild Arms 5. Though I have never played that game I love the series and he looked really cool. lol

What about you?

eccentric is a word i picked up on a long long time ago. It means "different" and that is me in a nutshell. I'm eccentric in the way i think, the way i speak, the way i see other things and people, and im lead to being misunderstood. The original username was -eccentric. d i f f e r e n t. odd. but I've shortened it after i grew fond of the term "reach" when i used it in a sotw, ironically, I won that sotw :)

My username was from the song by Panic! at the Disco (but I'm way less angsty than the song!) back when I was a huge fangirl.

It's also a really cool word for military attacks that take place overnight when the enemy is asleep.

My name is a rather medium length story.

I was 9, see? I wanted my own e-mail address. At the time, my favorite pokemon was Arcanine. Of course, THAT e-mail wat taken. So, I went with rk9.

A few years later, I was signing up for another Pokemon site. Up until that point, I had no set user name that I stuck with. So, after a little bit of brain storming, I came up with Ben "RK". Ben being my name, and "RK" coming from my e-mail. This name stuck, and evolved from Ben "RK" to Ben RK, and finally to BenRK I use all the time now.

My name is a Greek word, meaning "Sorry" or "Excuse me", it's mostly used as an apology. The reason I chose this as my username wasn't because of its meaning, but because it had been practically drilled into my head by the time I registered here.

I have no idea why I chose this Username.....It was the first thing that came in my head when my old name 'Neo Queen Serenity' went out of date. I love it now!<3

And apparently Graceful is still alive after a very long hiatus ♥

When I was a kid, I wasn't very creative with usernames and such, so I took my three initials, "TMB" and suffixed "jr" at the end (because I am, indeed, named after my father). This yielded the name "tmbjr", which became my standard email address and username for the majority of my teenage years, including PC when I first appeared here.

During my absence from PC, I decided to start using an updated version of my then-infamous username...one that was easily pronounceable for people that didn't know me and easy to remember how to spell. I simply added vowels to make it look like a cool name, and doubled the "R" for whatever reason...maybe because I thought it looked cooler that way. So I ended up with "Timbjerr" whenever I ultimately came back to PC. XD

...so now you know. :P

It's the past tense of the verb "To go". I went, you went, he went, etc.

It's also the only English-sounding word starting with W I could make from my surname.
My initials are V. V. so I just took a W and started adding letters until I got a word that made sense :p
