How did you come up with your username?

    Well in the good old days when you could change your name I always changed between Skii and something else. On the last occasion, I opted for Nuke and then name changes were taken away.

    I'm guessing I had a buzz on Modern Warfare 2 at the time.

    My username is a Beyblade reference. It was based on my favorite Bitbeast called Galux from the Anime called "Beyblade", but I wanted to add a couple of random letters to it. So, I then thought "Hey, I like the stars, but what else could be related to stars?" so, I then got the word "Galaxy" which was close to Galux, so I then had taken the "Y" and placed it at the end and then randomly added the "K" for Luck.

    Like this: Ga-Luck-xy or Gal-uk-xy.

    I was kind of getting back into my love for the Beyblade anime then.

    When I first discovered the internet, I used to RP a lot on Yahoo! IM chatrooms. One of my characters was a Pichu named "Lightning". When I started getting into forums, long story short, I ended up using Lightning wherever I could.

    Nowadays, I use "Cherrim" as my online handle. PC and maybe one or two other sites are the only ones I still go by this username on.

    Mine's easy. In the 5th grade, I had a crush on a person named Sammy, and my favorite animal at the time was cats, so Sammy + kitties = Sammyskitty.

    It's a cool Pokémon move. x)

    I just always liked it really and thought it was one of the best moves ever, probably because of the name or something. Now whenever something in-game uses it I'm all "OMG IT USED RAZOR LEAF!!!!!!" so I picked it as my username.

    SilverSmeargleSplatter: I liked Silver from Pokemon Special + my favorite color. Smeargle is one of my favorite Pokemon. They make splatters. Bam!

    Sydian: I hatched a Scyther and it popped into my head. And that's all she wrote.

    Aysel means moonbeam or moonlight. Ipera is another name, except I mixed the lettering around so I'm not sure what it was before, but the meaning has something to do with space as well.

    Unidentified Flying Aces: I was obsessed with Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. This kinda fit that, and a play on "Unidentified Flying Object".

    Lance (UFA): Reading PokéSpe, I was obsessed with Lance. I wanted to keep part of my old username in it, so (UFA) was added. That and "Lance" was taken.

    Amore: Numerous reasons. The reason for settling on just one word was that I wanted something short and sweet. I was slightly obsessed with Italy, and I knew this was Italian. When I found out it meant "love", I wasn't too bothered as it's hardly in-offensive, and everyone should have some love in their lives, right? I also like the Muller Amoré yoghurts.

    The change to "Amore" was probably more well-thought-out than the original username, as I knew I couldn't change it again as this was the time of the abolishment of username changes, back when PC seemed to always be crashing (I was Lance (UFA) for just over a month).

    miju is short for "Mijumaru" and -kun is a Japanese honorific which addresses to boys. Simple. x)

    I pretty much bashed the keyboard and then edited it slightly so that it resembled a word... kind of.

    My first forum was Nintendo's official Zelda forums, Hyrule Town Square. So, I came up with Triforce, so I could be like an ultimate authority or something. Threw 89 on the end for my birth year

    Like when you throw a pie at a clown, the words "Distorted" and "Personality" hit each other: an unfunny slapstick - for the clown. At that moment, a name was formed. <:
