What does your username mean?

[Kann]

A long time ago I watched an anime where one of characters was named Kannabi and I liked the sound of it so much I started using it online. It got shortened to Kann over the years. xD

[Freemints30]

I just came up with it on the spot when I decided I wanted to stop making edgy ass user names so I made a name so nonthreatening and devoid of edge, Free mints. The 30 came from the number of my old Hotmail account.

[ButterflyEmpress]

I used to have a magical girl comic called Butterfly Rose back when I was in middle school. The name of the mystical queen who gave the girls their powers was named Queen Mariposa. I've since dropped the story, but kept Mariposa as my mascot. When I made a 2nd DA account I couldn't use the same name so I changed it to Butterfly Empress. There are some sites I'm on that use the Queen Mariposa though.

[IndigoShirtProd]

Indigo is my favorite color and I always drew my avatar in an indigo colored deep v-neck shirt. When I was 18 I wanted to re-brand since I was make more social media accounts for myself (previously my account on deviantart was just my initials and a few numbers). So I went with IndigoShirtProductions. But that's a pretty long name so I had to shorten it to IndigoShirt or IndigoShirtProd on some places. Ironically I don't have a shirt of that color nor do I have any experience in making shirts. In that way, the name is a bit misleading . Also my personal logo is based off my avatar:

I had to go through many passes before I got it right.

[OttoGruenwald]

Mine's a reference to two of my favorite superhero writers. Otto comes from Otto Binder and Gruenwald comes from Mark Gruenwald.

[spadedigsbutts]

//eye darts at my username and goes under table

[IdiotWithPencil]

I think it explains itself, but for those in the cheap seats
it means I'm and idiot who has a pencil

[nekoyasha]

Neko is Cat in japanese and Yasha is demon. Like Inuyasha, but with Cat xD (thats what i Hope what it means xD)

[vfinnigan]

First initial, last name. It's really that simple. I couldn't afford to get that creative, as I already have print comics published with my name on them.

[kitschensyngk]

A long time ago, I wanted to start an art portfolio site with that name.

It was based off the old phrase "everything but the kitchen sink." The idea was that "NOW the Internet has everything."

[createssienna]

Hey,

My username does not have a unique meaning (I don't think ). The name Sienna came to me in a dream, lol. I create content so...createsienna.

[Luminosophy]

Spud = potato
fuzz = cat

The two things I love most, brought together, in the most beautiful way:

[JRHoch]

But what are the origins of it?

[ryoko]

wnqs = winged neo-queen Serenity 'cuz Sailor moon was one of the first mangas I read and long-running animes that I watched It was the name I used on a Sailor Moon chat room waaaaay back, too.

[PaulieBlade]

This is great. I love it when simplicity has some actual background.

[GabiWolf]

Mine is based on my real name. Gabbie comes from my middle name, and Wolf is my actual last name. Though I'm sure that the fact that I use a dog as my profile picture might make it seem like Wolf is made up.

[JRHoch]

Some of us will just call you Potato Cat.

[Azifri]

When I was in hight school, my sister and I invented a method to convert our names into a different word, so Cristina became Azifri. Don't ask me how it worked because we can't remember I do recall it was complicated and made little sense, but whatever ^^

[Tanako]

Well I wanted a cool name and since I’m into Asian culture hardcore (Japanese) at the time I thought “Tanako”, was cool. I didn’t research it, just made it up only to one day decided to look into it and found out it’s a name of a “camp” Camp Tanako. As I broke it down this is what it really means

Tana: furniture 店
ko: child 子
So it’s written this way: 店子 and those are the characters I use as my signature to sign my images and prints.

So “furniture child”, 🏾
I was like “OH NO”, at first then later I was like, at least it’s unique so 🤷🏾‍♀️ Meh, I like it regardless.

[jcmraz]

It's just my name. It's how I sign and copyright my artwork so I figure it's the easiest thing to have as a username for anything involving the comic
