Username

[semi]

what is the meaning behind your username/what does it stand for? i remember a thread like this being posted about two years ago, shame it hasn't been revived since.

 

[TY]

my username is TYranitar shortened, which was the username I'd initially went for but shortened it later on when actually deciding on it 2-3 years ago when I swapped up usernames.

 

[Nah]

is me posting this getting old yet

 

[gimmepie]

I like pie.

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

Took the name as an alternative to my actual username, Alex, when the administration of the time let somebody register it during open season.

At the time, I was still forming my adult identity ? Nick was a shorthand for a name my mother wanted to give to me but didn?t because my father picked instead: Nicholi. I?ve long since settled on being Alexander Nicholi, even legally changing my name to reflect that, and if username changes were allowed for non-staff again I would probably change into something like that.

I?m not really a Nick anyway. If anything I?m Nich.

 

[Corrin]

Gemini Kanon from the series Saint Seiya

Nick Wilde from none other than Zootopia, also known as one of my favourite characters in a movie to date.

i'm not sure where mine came from. i think it is because i really liked rin hoshizora at the time and wanted a mix of that sort of name, so i came up with hoshiko. it means star child in japanese.

 

[semi]

i initially wanted to be semi-automatic bcs i thought it sounded badass. found it too long so i shortened it to semi, but it was taken! and thus semi- was born. ever since signing up to the forums, semi has been my online nickname everywhere. it really stuck haha

 

[Mr Oddish]

I like the Odd in Oddish

 

[Sheep]

"Flame-haired, burning eyed"

hmmm, very much reminiscent of shakugan no shana

In like 2005 I was super obsessed with the Phantom of the Opera. "Erik" is the established official name from the book. Destler is the surname from the 1989 Horror adaptation featuring Robert Englund [which, to this date, I've never watched all the way through].

Hence, Erik Destler. :3c

 

[Megan]

Should be pretty obvious for anyone who's played a Fire Emblem game.

I originally wanted a different one. However, that name is taken by a dead account and I've still not succeeded in convincing the admins to give it to me, anyway.

Yes, what a shock, huh?

 

[Nick]

Full name Japanese sounding usernames was the "in" thing when I thought of this username back in like 2007.

I based it off of Hiroshi Sotomura. At least with the same amount of syllables and the around the same length.
I started with Patchou.
Patchou was the dude who developed MSN Plus, an add on way back in the day that made MSN messenger amazing.
Why I chose that name, I don't remember.
Patchisou was just adding an "is" in the middle of it to meet the 3 syllables.
Tohru came from Tohru Honda, which was a character in the first anime that I really watched knowing it was an anime.
"Yu" added in front of it to flesh it out.

Patchisou Yutohru

Pronounced: Patch-e-sue You-toe-rue

Fun fact: I'm actually not a weeaboo.
