Default What does your username mean?

What does your username mean? How do you choose it?

When I see people around any forums, I often get curious about their usernames (though could just me me and my quirkiness, noticing this) and I wonder what the letters or numbers represent or what they mean...

Of course there are some like me, who opt for the easy my username is my name username. I do like that for the fact that people will often address you by your username if they don't personally know you, and then it saves you and others from having to ask your actual name, or if they use your actual name, from others going, "What which member is [name]?"

mine come from my name being Ash, and me being cool, or kewl as it were :P

All originated when I was much younger, and it has sorta stuck.

I must agree, with what you were saying bout with rl names, gets a little tricky when people mix them up and you are unsure of who is who.

I came up with mine when I was trying to think of an online identity for my portfolio.

Infektsu = Infects You = My art/designs will infect you = Hopefully it will stay with you and you will think of me for future projects.

Haha might be a bit of a stretch, but I like it okay

Michae is one of my many nicknames, my name is Michelle and I have a ton of them (Michi, Chelle, Mich, Mii, Michelini, Michae, Micha, Missheru and the list goes on and on).

It's my favourite one at the moments, so that's why.

Leftover Color is the name of my portfolio/etc. It's based off of the punk band Leftöver Crack. But since I do design...and design uses color [or the abscence of it], i used color instead of crack. yay!
