Well my actual name is associated to spring, a name with the meaning of 'flower' and my second name has the meaning 'fairy' -- which clash with my actual personality I decided to choose a pen name for it. because Eira means 'snow' and Nyx mean 'night' -- like if I were to describe myself my personality is like a cold snowy night.... IRONIC isn't it?
For my part I have a couple of names on different medias.
First Sin_nombre. Its 'no name' in spanish. I didn't want to think in something so I took that one, or a variable if available. There was a lot of sin-nombre's here at Tapas, so I coudln't take that one, that takes me to my second most used pennames...
I often use on games, and now here the names Aleksei Belokoniov if boy, or Ludmilla Tereshkova if girl (great for pokemon games where I can trade with myself!). Both comes from the same lore. I took them from the soviet cosmonauts program, or what we think it is. Aleksei Belokoniov its the name of one of the ghost astronauts of those programs, while Ludmilla Tereshkova is the name of the sister of Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman to go into space.
I am named after a very specific My Little Pony character who only appears on a single christmas special. His name is Pistachio and he has my entire heart.
...My penname is literally just my two favorite seasons combined.
And, as a Filipino myself, I can confirm that we do love to say "Mamaya na lang" whenever we have stuff to do, haha!
Sorry to say my penname is pretty boring, haha.
It's just my first name + first middle name: caelin alexis
However, Caelin is Irish for warrior, which I think is ironic since I do wrestling and judo (martial arts, lol). I was actually almost named Alexis, but my mom didn't think I looked like an Alexis. So, that's really more of how I got my ACTUAL name, haha.
I used to have a magical girl comic called Butterfly Rose. The mystical being who gave the girls their powers was named Queen Mariposa (I just really like the Spanish word for butterfly). I ended up using the name on my DeviantArt and other accounts as a form of advertising the story, even though I never got around to finishing it. The concept for Butterfly Rose changed over time and since Mariposa isn't a character in it anymore, I decided to keep her as a somewhat mascot. When I rebooted my DA account I couldn't use Queen Mariposa anymore and instead went with Butterfly Empress. Only on Twitter that I still use my old name.
"Sori" is actually my name, and it somehow combined with the word scribble/readable.I have a lot of strange pen names including morris, yebby, etc. that I don't know where they come from, but I've just had them for so long that I just go with it.
Mine is... a completely made up name for a roleplaying character I never actually got to play with :'D
I picked it without much thought when I decided to separate my art stuff from fandom-related stuff. Decided to go with it because it didn't have any particular meaning attached to it, which I thought was pretty fitting, as I was really, really in need of a fresh start after all the toxic crap I witnessed during my years as a part of that fandom.
It was only later on that I realized that my name includes the word "lyre"*, a music instrument that was very popular in Greece. My hometown was originally a Greek colony and the lyre was also Orpheus' instrument. Fun fact, the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice has always been one of my favorites. So yep, lots of cool hidden meanings... pity that none of them were picked on purpose, lol.
(*One more fun fact: although the word "lyre" is included in my nickname, the actual pronunciation in my head is something more along the lines of "Lee-rEH-l", so... yep, also unrelated to the instrument XD)
I misremembered a name and ended up with Xeuthis. It means absolutely nothing, but I like it well enough.
I wanted something that's close enough to my irl name so I can use it in a kinda professional setting as well. Like when I hand out my business cards and the like.
My full Pseudonym is Yulek Bagel
My irl first name is one of those common Juli- names and my last name is literally the brittish spelling of Bagel.
Since I'm from Germany, the pronunciation for Juli- names is Yuli... Like "You".
To make that clear to the English speaking realm and to make it look a bit more unique, I thus went with the Y instead of the J.
Lastly, I recently changed the first name of my pseudonym from Yulia to Yulek, since I wanted something more gender neutral.
While Julek is a diminutive masc form of Julian, it's lesser known outside of East Europe, so to your run of the mill internet user it's pretty undefinable :D.
And as a pseudo cryptid, I am very much in for that.
My Username: Padduwu = Paddy + uwu
Paddy is my Nickname. Most of my friends call me that but it wasn't unique enough. So I added "uwu" because I unironically use "uwu" in conversations uwu.
oh heck, I was actually wondering if the uwu was intentional :0
I too am an avid user of uwu, owo and qwq
... much to the pain of my peers that have the pleasure of texting with me *cough
anyways. high quality username, ngl
My penname honestly just .. happened.
Lia is the last syllable of my name so when I started joining online communities as a teenager I just called myself Lia everywhere, and now several people call me Lia irl, so it just kinda feels as much like my real name as my full name does. It's just a nickname.
And then when I tried to think of a full name to use as a penname, I used Roger as my surname because I called myself Jolly-Roger on this one forum for a while and I love pirates. And that's it really. I've used this name everywhere for years and I'm just used to it now. It just feels like my name. XD
