Huh, I wonder what their name means...

idk man. nothing really elaborate here.. i was just really digging the honey emoji
 
Back in 2008, there was a call for final username changes here. At the same time, I finally accepted myself as trans, and wanted a more masculine name to represent that. And at the same time, I was reading through the DragonLance series, and reached the chapter where the character Astinus is introduced. Since the character is a lot like me, I decided to use the name as my online persona.

Since it's a popular name, I can't use it everywhere. When that's the case, I either put "Speaker" (reference to a book I used to love) or "ninja" (long story) before it. I've also grown fond of the nickname "Asty," and I pair that up with "ninja" to be amused.
 
5-6 year old me needed a username for an email account and neopets. Wanted something that had a bit of a spark to it and eventually came up with zappyspiker. After 15ish years with this name, it's getting old, but I can't seem to find a better name that I'm satisfied with especially after having this name for so long.
 
The meaning behind my name is simple, I just love Castform! It's my favorite Pokemon of all time and when name changes were allowed I was so fucking excited about being able to finally have it as a username because it was being wasted otherwise. I don't think I will ever change it again because I missed it too much last time I changed from it.
 
Easy, Luxray is my favourite pokemon! When I created my account, I was 13, so there wasn't much thought put into it. If I had created my account today, four years later (which is the day I actually started using this forum), then I probably would've thought of something more imaginative/unique, lol :)
 
My username is derived from William Faulkner's 1936 novel, Absalom, Absalom!, in which the main character, possessed by his "design," is named Thomas Sutpen.

You just sent me on a nostalgia trip, dude

Neopets was my life back in the day
 
On Xbox Live, I was originally Yami Slifer, then before that SiN Corona. I chose Yami Slifer because YuGiOh and I wasn't that creative, so yeah, I was young and blah.

Then I decided to go with a more matured and legit name. Sector Revenge came to mind, so I went with it, and love it ever since. Hence, where Sector came from.

I just came up with Sector and I wanted a secondary name, or as I would like to call it, a last name for my online identity. True story, I was looking at Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and I put 2 and 2 together. Sector Revenge!

Another name I would like to have if not Sector, is actually Saber Reprisal. I think it's pretty sexy imo x) Yeah, people call me Sextor here or at other places so Sextor is somewhat my name as well if you want to call it that.
 
My nickname is actually pretty simple too. "Mimi" is just my everyday nickname. "Mahboul" means crazy. I try to make it sound like a tongue twister to make it fun for the peeps.

I dunno but maybe I'll change my username to Gligar, what do you guys think?
 
My best friends nickname for me is Mani and my last name begins with a T. Plus I like the animal Manatees, I just wanted to make this name my own.
 
There's a backstory to my username. Back in school I was really into the whole manga drawing stuff. I also was a hugh fan of anime like One Piece and DBZ, which I really liked to use as examples to base everything I did on, including stuff like story and character designs. In the hundreds of pages I drew (if you can even call it that), I managed to accumulate quite a bunch of different characters, with my most favorite being a character called "Roberto Fastsword" (yeah, not the best name, don't judge me :P), who was based on Trunks from DBZ and Zorro from One Piece. I've spend many years, trying to improve this character and add more story to him, etc. (yeah, never had too many friends) which was one of the reasons why he grew on me.

At some point at school someone thought, it would be cool to have some unique signature sign thingy and at this point I figured, why not do that myself. Since then, this username's been stuck on me (which is easily...ten years now), although I'm well aware, that at some point I'm going to change it. But that time hasn't come, yet.

And for good measure, a terrible picture:

"Snow White" in German. More importantly, a RWBY character.
 
My original username was Shoot|The|Puck. It's just a short form and I like short usernames better.
 
Nubkheperre Intef, or just Inyotef was the Pharaoh of Upper Egypt during the seventeenth dynasty, when Egypt was divided into two rival kingdoms with the Hyksos in the north.

It was also a name for another cat of mine alongside Senusret, and Snofru.
 
The origin of H.A.N. is somewhat complicated. I somehow got myself the nickname translating roughly to 'Nobody At All' (I don't fully remember how that happened), which is only two words in my mother tongue, giving the possibility to use one as a first name and the other as last name, abbreviating itself as H.N. I later added the middle name Andreas, of which I think is a cool name, to make it pronounceable in one syllable as 'Han'.
 
well, there's no big meaning behind mine; i just wanted something cute, short and simple. c:
