Jellicent is my favorite Pokemon, and the female one is pink, which makes it my favorite gender. So I sat long and hard and thought of clever things, and this is what I came up with! I love it, and would never change it.

My real name I like a lot. (I'd rather not say it, if that's ok)
But for the first three hours of my life my name WAS Hayden, but mom said I didn't look like a Hayden. So she named me something else!
But I like my real name, and everyone else seems to like it, too. So yeah, it works. c:

My online name, Kura, is actually based on Bakura, the Yugioh character. My first online friends had nicknames for each other from Yugioh and insisted I have one too! Since then this as been my online alias for going on 9 years.

My real name means dark and rich, and while I kinda like that about it, I don't like my real name :c It's way too long to say (4 syllables) :c

My username is Meganium90 (obvious), and to this day I fully regret. It was the most noobiest name I have ever came up with. Meganium is my favorite Pokemon, and the 90 is my birth year. It's really weird because people expect me to have a Meganium as my theme, but I've had an Oshawott, Leavanny, and now, Milotic as a theme...as well as music artists and ponies.

I wasn't thinking right when I chose my username. I wanted to get away from my old online identity, but as I suck at names, Meganium90 was born. It just came off the top of my head. It's a good thing that I have four different alt accounts, including my main one, Dismantle.Repair, which is based off a song by the band Anberlin. Just in case I want to get away from my main.

I do not like my real name. It's way to common, especially in Mexico. In the US it gets spelled incorrectly, and gets pronounced incorrectly. It gets me to the point that I just want to go by a different name and not worry about mispronunciations and corrections. Online-wise, based on my username, I'd rather be called Megan. I shared an offline name with a former moderator here, and since then I got stuck with Megan. Short for Meganium. :)

If anything, I'd prefer to change my IRL name to Megan. Since being called that name here, I felt that it's like my real name. lmao.

1) My online name, "Archenoth" was a name I chose because it literally had no Google results when searched... It was a unique name, one that no one had ever used on the Internet, one that I could truly call my own.

2) My real name, "Matthew" is an OK name, I don't hate it, but it's nothing cool like "Steve" or "Zak" or something...

Miju is a shortening of Mijumaru and -kun is a Japanese honorific.

2) What's your offline name/do you like your actual, offline name?
I don't like my offline name that much. :/

And would you change any of them if you could?
Both of them, I have some options for my offline name, and I'd change my online name as well.

1). I chose SkittishHeart because in fact, I'm skittish and the heart part there is just a filler or something. I also like how it sounds similar to a cat-related word.

2). Eh, my real name's Eliza, and the only thing I don't like about it is it's often mispronounced by newly-met people. :'( Other than that, I like the name itself because it blends well with the second "part" of my given name... at least to me, it does, and they're not a common combination. :3

1) What does your username on PC mean/why did you choose your username?
My username is a nickname that I've had as long as I can remember (since I was at least 8). It's just something that was simple, so it stuck with me, and I use it (or a variation) for almost any time I need a username.

2) What's your offline name/do you like your actual, offline name?
My real name is Brendan. I've never wanted to change it, but a lot of people mistakenly called me Brandon growing up, and I constantly found myself having to correct them.

1) My name is an amalgamation of the genus part of Carcharodon carcharias (Great white shark, for those of you who aren't biology majors), and Odin, the Norse ruler of Asgard, because sharks rule and so does Odin.

2) My real name is Tyler. For a while I didn't take too much pride in it until I watched Fight Club and realized my whole name rhymed with Tyler Durden. Tyler Durden is a boss; he's what every single red-blooded male aspires to be (or should aspire to be): smart, charismatic, free-spirited, capable, in-shape, sees the problems with our consumerist society, f***s like a machine, fights like one too, and is free in all the possible ways you aren't. Sure, he may be somewhat of a nihilist, but nobody's perfect; actually, I lied. Tyler is perfect; nihilism rules.

I chose my username because my favorite manga when I joined here was Fruits Basket and my favorite character was Kyoko Honda. She was known as "The Red Butterfly" so my first username on here when I joined was going to be KyokoTheRedButterfly....but that looked too wordy so I went with KyokoButterfly15 because I was 14 when I joined and was excited to turn 15 ha!

I chopped it down to Kyoko later on and after 8 billion name changes (okay, okay, 11 changes) I grew so attached to it that I changed it back right before name changes were taken away AND THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT. I love my username <3

My real name is Kelsey and yes I like it and no I wouldn't change it :)

My PC username is the name of a character from the manga Honey and Clover that I was reading at the time when I registered. There's nothing special about it, really. If name changes were brought back though I would probably change it to something less... weeaboo-ish haha.

As for my real name, it's Beth. Not Bethan, Bethany, or anything like that, just plain old Beth. I like it, it's short and simple and I would never change it.

My username is actually a sci-fi movie that was released a lotta years ago. It was pretty okay, and this name was suggested by one of my friends. Tbh I'd rather change it to Nicholas Flamel now, which is my username in another forum, and I prefer it more than this one now.

My name irl is Samarth, and it means something like "capable" in Hindi. Yes my name is an adjective deal with it. Meh, I think my name is pretty okay, tbh.

Not surprisingly, my username is Magdalena~. It's a new name to me but I love it very much and have no desire to change it. Basically I was making a new account here to replace my old one. As soon as I made this account I instinctively chose the name "Cupcake~" because I've always wanted that name, but it turned out Cupcake~ was taken! I was a bit upset at first but I decided I would just call myself the word for cupcake in another language. Spanish is my goto so I looked up the Spanish word for cupcake (I should have known it already but whatever lol) AND I LOVED IT. IT WAS SO PERFECT. I'm so happy I didn't pick "Cupcake~" omg. It's vastly inferior to Magdalena~ which is just the perfect name for me. One thing I love about it is that it sounds like my real name a lot.
So to recap:
-Magdalena is Spanish for "cupcake" or "muffin" (or this).
-It's similar to my real name.
-The tilde is because my old username had a tilde so it's just become obligatory for me.

My real name is Maggie. It's not short for Magdalena though, haha. It's short for Margaret. I've always liked my name because everyone says it's cute and I agree! I like the sound of it, its flexibility (so many potential nicknames!), the fact it starts with m (I love names that start with m) and its meaning. Margaret comes from the Greek for "pearl" and in Romanic languages it developed the meaning "daisy". People call me Maggie, Mags, Magpie, Margie, or sometimes Daisy. I also sometimes make people call me Margaret or Magda because those names are awesome.
Magly is my Zelda name. Whenever I play a Zelda game, I name myself Magly. It is now officially a tradition. xD

Kurui derived from Kurue, which is Kageroza-kun's Zanpakutou release command from BLEACH. I have a habit of taking terms related to him, changing them slightly, and using them for various names, teams I own, etc. XD Kurui is also my stage/singer name.

Shilotta. Though most people call me Shi. I like it because it sounds nice in the songs/albums that this one guy writes for me all the time. It's got a nice flow to it I guess?

My username came from an older username, which came from an even older username. Several years ago I was on a Danny Phantom forum and my username was DanPhantomFan (Dan being short for Danny. Not talking about his future self from The Ultimate Enemy). Eventually I didn't want to be named that anymore but I wanted a name that kept with my initials DPF since I was widely known by those initials on the forums. So, eventually I came up with 'DigiPeachFruit'.

Fast forward a few years and one day my friend and I were playing around with my username saying things like 'DigiPeachFruit. The Peaches are Binary'. We were obsessing over Digimon at the time so the Digital world is made up of binary code. Thus, 'The Peaches are Binary'. Eventually I took that and formed the username you see today: BinaryPeaches.

That said, BinaryPeaches basically means the following:
Binary: composed of two pieces or two parts + Peaches: A Fruit that people eat. = BinaryPeaches: A fruit that people eat composed of two pieces or two parts. (Or rather, Peaches that are composed of binary coding).

As for my real name it's Tara. I like my name and I would never change it. There's... not much else to really be said haha.

Two parter, this one:
1) What does your username on PC mean/why did you choose your username?
2) What's your offline name/do you like your actual, offline name?

And would you change any of them if you could?
1 - What does your username on PC mean: Quote from the Soul/Silver Pokedex "Its magnificent bark conveys a sense of majesty. Anyone hearing it can't help but grovel before it.", that means I'm awesome and anyone who reads a post from me bows down before me!
1.5 - why did you choose your username: Before I joined PC I used to post comments on a Pokemon site called The-APCC (it was one of PC's Community Sites). I had to sign-up to post the comments so I went with the name of my fav Pokemon... Arcanine. And when I joined PC I used the same name, when I rejoined PC (when we restarted) I used the same name, and I've had it for over 9 years now.

2 - What's your offline name: Andrew, but everyone calls me Andy.
2.5 - do you like your actual, offline name: I have no probs with my name.

3 - And would you change any of them if you could: I wouldn't mind changing my PC name to Yoko Littner or Makise Kurisu, but I've had Arcanine for so long I think I'd regret it pretty much right after changing it.

1) What does your username on PC mean/why did you choose your username?

My username on PC is from the Hunger Games. In the Hunger Games, the mockingjay is a mixed breed of a "muttation" bird called a jabberjay, which is a bird that completely copied human speech, and a mockingbird. The mockingjays can mimic sounds, which are usually melodies, and they will sometimes sing back if your voice or tune is beautiful enough.

2) What's your offline name/do you like your actual, offline name?

My name is Jessi. I was named after my great uncle Jessie, but my parents decided to keep off the "e." I don't understand why; maybe it's because I am a girl, though. I like my name because it sounds cute, but many people think that my name is actually Jessica..

And would you change any of them if you could?

I would most certainly not change my names. I love my real name, and I love the Hunger Games.. xD.

1) What does your username on PC mean/why did you choose your username?

Well, it doesn't really mean anything. I randomly thought of it. Why did I choose it? Because I was tired of using the same username I use for all websites I join. Would I change it? Not now, maybe soon if I get truly tired of it.

2) What's your offline name/do you like your actual, offline name? My name is Eric. I don't really like this name, or see anything significant in it. I probably wouldn't change it officially, but I have many nicknames.

1- At the time of signing up, I had some obsession with space and astronomy...I also played Final Fantasy Dissidia. There was this soundtrack called: Otherworld. Just added my favorite number, something random like a ")," and there. I had better ones, but they were taken.

2- A spanish name. I actually love it, since nobody at my school has it...and I haven't met anybody online with that name yet, so I feel rather unique.
