What is the history behind your username?

[kitschensyngk]

I've had my username for most of the time I've been online.

Don't ever let them tell you that the internet has everything but the kitchen sink.

[LackofCoffee]

It started back when I was studying at Univeristy. One day counted how many cups of coffee I was drinking daily and was horrified (it was around 10 cups). So I completely cut off coffee and caffeine for three months, and that's when I started this username.

Nowadays I do drink coffee again, but I have a strict 2 per day limit (but I always want more)

[BlueDragon]

My favorite color is blue and my favorite fantasy creature has always been dragons.

I am...very basic XD XD

[ShidoDraws]

I don't actually know to explain this since my current username wasn't really decided until 2019, but I was still definitely called Shido back in 2014. I used my real name before so I combined Shido with my real last name, Thao. I was ShidoThao for 5 years and afterwards I finally decided on a different username, ShidoDraws since a lot of people pronounces my last name wrong so I tried to make it easier for people to remember since I wanted to create a brand-like name. Though people tend to call me Shiro, yet another issue I have come across doesn't help that there's another artist name Shiro who makes NSFW stuff so whenever people look up my work they might see some interesting content that isn't mine.

Anyway, the Draws part is actually inspired by Jazza's old username Draw with Jazza and of course RossDraws as well. They both inspired me a lot and some day I wanna inspire others too just like them, maybe not though. I'll probably just stick to being a nobody that draws epic cute anime girls.

Shido was a name I thought was cool sounding, like a hero name. Plus it seemed like a rare name that people don't use as much so I picked it just to sound cool.

[sodathecoda]

Formerly I used Sozdatelniza(Russian for She-Creator) as my username. However, I noticed it's too long and may be too hard to remember, so I changed it with a username generator. And this is how I got my bizzare username.

[rumpenstiltzkin]

I got mine when I was in my early 20s i think, its a mix of the childrens story rumpelstilzkin and the mooogle stiltzkin, i liked both so the name stuck with me and i been wanting to change it forever caus it sounds like a stupid name and noone can ever spell it so im not easy to find but i guess im to attached to it

I been wanting to go back to my old username Alven (meaning the elf in swedish) but I guess i just been stuck with rumpenstiltzkin for so long it feels weird to change.

[padduwu]

That's easy It's my Nickname (Paddy) + uwu (because I use uwu unironically >:3 )
I used to go be Paddoof (Paddy + Bidoof my favorite Pokemon)

[TheDoublekey]

Oh, this is a pretty funny one. Basically, back when I was in middle school, I really badly wanted to become a youtuber like Pewdiepie, but I had to come up with a cool name, a name which stood out. I wasn't able to find any and, at a certain point, I also remember opting for "TheCobra260" or something like that. That stuff was far too edgy and didn't reflect how I actually am so, for a period of time I just kept thinking.

Then, one day, I came up all of a sudden with the name "Doublekey". I don't know why precisely and how, but my brain just told me "Hey, what about Doublekey? It sounds cool, doesn't it?". I thought it was quite a creative name so, in the end, I decided to keep it. Later on, I also gave this name to a main character of mine (he was the protagonist of my Pokemon fan series. It's a long story, maybe one day I'll tell it). So, yeah, unfortunately there's not much of an origin story, I just kinda came up with it along the way and thought it sounded cool and mysterious at the same time. A youtuber named Doublekey who made animations and played games, to me, seemed quite a cool idea.

[InTheEndlessMidnight]

It's just random. I really don't and can't even remember why this is my nickname but it stuck so here I am after two plus years.

[CarltonIsaac]

I copied it from my birth certificate.

[Noorie]

My real name is Anna and my father sometimes call me by one variant of my name Нюра (I don't even know how to write it in English, Njura? Niura?) and there was a tee I really liked called "Princess Noori", so I decided this was a good way to write it in English

[bronte448]

Oof, my username? Well, a few years ago, I wanted to go on YouTube as a vocal artist. My first thought was the phrase "She has those golden tones." My favorite gemstone is the opal, so I thought changing gold with opal would be even prettier. Yes, that was 100% my thought process, I was a very vain child. Anyway, I moved away from the YouTube phase before I could talk my parents into letting me create a channel, but the username Opal Tones stuck in my mind. It's been my username for every website I've signed up for ever since then. I'm still into music as a whole. Is there any dude with some pipes wanting to get out there? Just thought of that.

I have lyrics and pictures, I just need someone to sing and edit the video together. It's a parody of Poker Face by Lady Gaga, and it's being sung by Fresh!Sans. (I can't sing like a boy, I just can't do it. :sweat_smile:) The video will go up on the singer's channel unless we can agree on another arrangement. If YouTube gives the video any money, the singer and editor can split it. I just want all the credit due to me for the lyrics and illustrations and to have fun. PM me if you're interested,…

[TroyVSTheWorld]

Well I was on probation at the time and I have no friends and I was cheated on by like 5 different dudes and I felt like the world was against me

[TheLemmaLlama]

B ... but your username is bronte448 ...

[bronte448]

Well, that's just the one the forums auto generated for me, likely from my e-mail. By the time I figured out how to change it on the forums, several people had already at-symbolled me under this name, so I decided it would be better to leave it and put Opal Tones as the name under it. My username on Tapas is still Opal Tones, if you click my username and click the link to my first comic, that will prove it.

[RedLenai]

Well, mine doesn't have a history behind it. It is pretty simple how I came up with it back when I was making my accounts on 2014
Red is my favorite color, while Lenai is an anagram of my real name "Ailén", a native south-american name that means "Little coalt"

[LemmeGetCoffee]

I am moderately obsessed with coffee. I feel like I can't be productive without it. sometimes when the anxiety attacks and depresso get really bad, I drink 5-6 cups more than I should. it only worsens my state but for some reason my brain always goes "you NEED more coffee or else you can't function"
It's a desperate coping mechanism to always drink coffee whenever I feel like shit lol

my username is an inside joke on my obsession. I've always loved coffee since I was a wee 5 year old raiding my mom's stash of 3 in 1 instant coffee packets. ah, good times.

[Massiel_Solis]

'Soulless smiles'
well,
Smiles Oasis
Is an anagram of my name. I was briefly considering using that- and I do in some instances. But It wasn't what I really wanted for my 'Pen name' I liked the idea of using my real last name, but I also didn't want to use my real name on the internet. So I came to a middle ground.

Soulless <-- is a phonetic mimic to my real last name.

And Smiles because:
1) It sounds cool
2) I smile a lot
3) I like the balance of sad and happy things.
The word Soulless is typically not viewed as a positive thing. Smiles are a positive thing.
Together, they are an unnerving kind of smile.

Soulless Smiles.
I Just want to be full of love and sharp things
Both are important to know the true significance of the other. That's contrast BB

[AmazementComics]

The background for my name is probably the most basic. There’s DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics… so what’s the next brand title that rolls off the tongue so smoothly? Amazement Comics, and it’s served me well ever since.

[simplykit]
