How did you come up with your pen name?

[CalixLucas]

I wasn't that bad, I was the only child. But I was so annoying, my god my voice.

[SoFt]

I'll have you know that I was a delightful angel of a child! Sometimes I wish I hadn't been, but I turned out a'ight =P .

[MatthewDavidGonzales]

Couldn't come up with a pen name, so I just used my real one.

[ziplequick]

I am just that fast.

[Heliox14]

You know, this username was a name I used for an Internet-chatroom type story. It was about "Heliox" and "S3M3L3", just talking and chatting about life's little (and big) problems and stuff, while enjoying each other's company.
Then, as that story became another story to add in the pile of unfinished stories, I decided to use that username.
Here's hoping I'll find my S3M3L3.

[stevendeluxi]

My username isn't actually far off my actual name. I wanted to go just by "Luxi" first, the nickname I had in school, derived from my last name (Lux), but I thought it's too common and also taken by most websites so I had to add something to it.
"Steven" is basically my actual first name (Stefan) in English, because I think it just sounds better (for some reason I just don't like how "Stefan" is pronounced in English compared to German). And the "De" in the middle is just there so everything rolls off the tongue better

[Rayenae]

Technically my name is my real name, but I use my middle name. I started using it as a username everywhere because it's so unusual that it's guaranteed to be available, lol. Except twitter for some reason. I nearly went through an existential crisis when I realized there was already a "rayenae" on twitter.

[joevallen3]

Lost a kid during pregnancy with my ex. Was going to name him "Vallen" so I adopted "Joe Vallen" to signify the transfer in my paternal side to my creations...

[joe_galindez]

I'm sorry. How do you say that?

[joevallen3]

My pen name? 'val-en'

[CalixLucas]

Meh. I already explained my current name. Might as well explain other usernames I tend to use.

NyxBlood - Nyx is a name of the Greek goddess of night, she is also the only person Zeus is afraid of. Blood... I like the taste of Blood.

JestaBlood - Jesta is one of the ways I say, Jester. I'm a jokester so that's why it's in there.

[BraniAndNess]

Ours is the nicknames we have for each other. Branimir, whom I call Brani. And I'm Vanessa but he calls me Ness!

[ChristodeBoyet]

What an awesome name Branimir is, I like how it just rolls off my tongue.

[BraniAndNess]

Isn't it? I absolutely adore his name! It's Bulgarian and means "guardian". Apparently, it's a rare one even in Bulgaria... I don't really understand why it's not more popular, it sounds really cool

[ChristodeBoyet]

Lol, now that you've said that. I'll forever picture in your profile pic, that he's there to guard you.

[BraniAndNess]

Awww that's actually really cute! ^_____^

[yonseo]

Web domain, just use the search bar. Why? because If the name is available you can use it for your artwork and everyone can find your stuff in one place.

Also Kera Magazine, there's lots of fashion brands and photographs with cool names, tons of ideas there from names to outfits for drawing!

[Twoony]

I got obsessed with the band LM.C and their song Chemical King-Twoon. Originally that was my username on a site but a friend started calling me Twoony for short. Then others called me Twoony and I really liked it so I kept it.

[beta1042]

My Pen name and the character associated with it is a bit of an inside joke with a friend of mine from back when I was a preteen. I decided to use it because I wanted a name that was fairly anonymous and couldn't easily be linked to any individual person.

[jeffanime1]

My names Jeff and I like anime. nuffsaid.
