How did you come up with your username? Why did you choose it?

[lycoseadae]

i changed my name so a new reason to post! its the scientific name for wolf spiders(lycosidae) but the -si- is changed to sea referencing an old username i used for awhile until 2021ish

[Emmy02]

   My username is my aunt's nickname for me. My aunt is a pretty big supporter and I think Emmy is a nice nickname. 02 is the year I was born.

Also, I chose mintchip for my website related stuff because it's one of my favorite flavors, and just like me, its a unique taste that not everyone can understand the awesomeness of.

[Lucera]

I'm not entirely sure... It's partially based on my first name, Luiza, but I'm not quite sure of where the "cera" part came from...

I was listening to a Peter Cetera song when I came up with it, "Hold me 'Til the Morning Comes", so this might have influenced it lol!

[Pudingoii]

puding+ oii oiii oiii baaaaka OIII OII OIIIIII BAAAAAAA KAAAAAAAAA😈😈

[Oceansandy02]

I came up with oceansandy02 because I used sandy as an online name before, because it was very loosely related to my IRL name, like how in Projec Sekai, Kanade chose the online name K. I then added ocean to the username because it was related to sand, and then 02 at the end because the 02 reminded me of oxygen, even though the 0 is not an O. I currently use the alias Ocean.

[kingdomcome]

Mine's a song title! Red Velvet's "Kingdom Come"

It's one of my all-time favorite songs, and arguably one of Red Velvet's best b-sides & songs in general  I use it in a lot of places, but not exclusively. I know the phrase itself has a religious connotation so I don't use it on websites where I'm not open about my intense admiration for RV.

[Charbomber]

I chose mine when I was like 8 making a Minecraft account. Yeah really.
"Char" because Charizard (who was my favorite Pokemon at the time, but it has kind of changed to Charmander because they are my new favorite Pokemon ig) and "Bomber" because I thought explosions were cool because I was 8. No, I did not think of the implications, and I still curse my young self for making such a potentially easy to misinterpret username!

Though, I haven't changed it since, because it's what people know me as. I wouldn't wanna change it anyways because you gotta remember to keep weird old embarrassing things about yourself around to remind you who you are. Or something. Yeah it's cheesy.

[nihil0]

it's kind of all over the place tbh, it's an amalgamation of:

1. the name of one of the most frequent and my favorite minecraft mods, ex nihilo

2. i generally like the meaning of the phrase "from nothing" it's my own little rebrand and it sounds cool

3. i named my cotl cult 'the order of nihil' and it just stuck with me from there

[imnotjahan]

Well my name is Jahan, so that inspiration is evident. More specifically however, when I was little I used to watch a youtuber called thinknoodles and their roblox username was imnotthinknoodles, so my first use of the username (I don't remember when) was based off that.

[Dazhak]

yesss!!! I love the story of my username!

My username across basically every platform since maybe 2020 has been Dazhak. I came up with it when making a graffiti tag using cyrillic letters, as some sort of practice for learning russian. The letters Д (D) and Ж (ZH) were my favorites, because they look cool, so I had already decided on using those for the tag.

So then I thought, if I knew any russian words starting with Д, and the word дурак (durak) meaning "idiot" instantly came to my head. After all, the first words you learn in a language is often the insults and swearwords...

I replaced the Р with Ж, and it became Дужак, but since I didn't like how it sounded I wanted to change it. The letter Ж is, as you can see, symmetrical, so I ran with that and placed an A on both sides of the Ж. Voila, a username that is never taken by anyone else!

Then I googled it to make sure, and it didn't bring up anything except...
- the name of a dragon NPC (?) from World of Warcraft
- the suggested spelling of "daszak" brought up a brittish zoologist
- and the suggested spelling of "dashak" is the name of a persian village
