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

[Grimlock]

my username varies on a lot of websites, i used to have dedicated usernames for myself but i find myself using "canon" usernames from things i'm interested in but on smaller places like these sometimes i grab one word usernames like "dinosaur"

my username is grimlock on here mostly because i like the character though, it doesn't match my site username being a deltarune enemy, or my spacehey for being utahraptor. but its kind of fun the flexibility usernames have in that way.

It was a mix of my fav character from Cardcaptor Sakura (Yue, duh) and my MBTI being a XNTP. My obsession with the moon also plays a big part in it lol

[Salty]

I used my old randomly-generated Xbox gamertag FOREVER, but then I got super tired of it. I was listening to an old Ramones demo called, "Slug" and was drawn to the word and the aesthetics that could go with it. I am also a big fan of self-deprecating humor, and thought the idea of a salted slug would be kind of goofy and dictate that to the right person.

 My forum username is taken from the title of an Echo & The Bunnymen song, I just thought it sounded cool.

[SleepyCalaban]

I love telling this story. The name Calaban is also now my chosen name but started off as only an online alias. This happened because when I was still with my ex he wanted me to make a WoW character on his account. I was scrambling to think of a name and proceeded to flip through our English textbook. (I was still in highschool at the time.) And landed on the name Caliban from shakespeare. Ironically I don't like Shakespeare but I really liked the name Caliban so I named my character that. I then decided that was going to be my name on everything and just happened to start spelling it wrong one day?? The "Sleepy" part of my username just comes from just being tired all the time.

My main username is SleepyCalaban but on other sites you could find me as The Sleepy Transmasc or SleepyC4 / SleepyC420 so I tend to just have many variations of Sleepy in my name.

[soapfriendo]

i've used soap as an online pseudonym for abt 3 years, it was bcos i liked the way those softsoap dispensers looked (y'know, the ones with the fish on em) and as for the username, i cycled through a lotta different usernames before i settled with soapfriendo since that's the name i use ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[wetnoodle]

Partially from my high school nickname: noodles (i'm a noodly guy) and also this used to be the avatar I used (from spongebob):

[night-at-the-musian]

It's a portmanteau of my name, Ian; and "museum". Honestly shocked it hadn't been taken yet, lol

[Loebas]

My username is the name of one of my fursona's and suit. Which is named after Donald Duck's dog (at least in the netherlands).

It was somewhat later i found out that Donald Duck's dog was a saint bernardhound instead of a Bernese Mountaindog. Which my fursona is based of.

The profile picture is the suit of said fursona worn by the previous owner.

[georgemoody]

it comes from this tiny little parrot(?) figurine (I think it's 1-2 cm wide) that I've named George Moody. I took the surname from the Judy Moody book series that I loved as a kid. As for the first name, I couldn't come up with anything so I walked over to my mom and asked her: "hey ma what would you name a parrot if you had one" and her first answer was George.

I still have the thing btw, it's in a box in a drawer somewhere but it's there, loved playing with and making batshit insane stories for him to go through.

“Sanguine” comes from the “Four Temperaments Test”. Back in 2015 when I took it for the first time, I actually got the result “Phlegmatic”, but I feel like “Sanguine” fits me a lot more personally. “Royal” comes from the fact that I see myself as a real life princess, I just use “Royal” because it’s a shorter word and aligns more with my nonbinary identity. 

[Memory]

It's just my real name, too lazy to come up with anything else...darn 

[egbert]

homestuck.

[Frills]

Frills was one of my first characters on World of Warcraft. I named her Frills to rhyme with my then-boyfriend's character, Chills
