leverhelven Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Ohai guys! I see a lot of interesting (and sometimes weird) usernames here on the forums, and I was just wondering: what do your usernames mean, guys? :) Mine, for example, is the name of an imaginary kingdom I created when I was a teenager. I'd write about its cities, citizens, make up stories for them... Good old days :king: What abour your username? :) Zephyr and deboratibi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maikrowsoft Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mine stands for some technology company. I'm not very creative :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashana Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Woah, that's some backstory on your username. o-o The beginning of my name comes from Rapidash, a Pokemon that I liked when I was younger. The Ana part came from my grandmother -- since her name was Ana. leverhelven and Aquamentis12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinti Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 My real name is Christina. But when I was little and learning to talk Christina was too dificult to say, and so I kinda mushed it together and said Tinti instead. And so my dad has allways called me tinti. My sister think it's a bit silly, but i feel like it's an invisible part of my name ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatlauralass Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mine is the same as my youtube channel I'm meaning to kickstart in a couple of months time. ^_^ And of course it's the same as my new main on neo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Ohai guys! I see a lot of interesting (and sometimes weird) usernames here on the forums, and I was just wondering: what do your usernames mean, guys? :) Mine, for example, is the name of an imaginary kingdom I created when I was a teenager. I'd write about its cities, citizens, make up stories for them... Good old days :king: What abour your username? :) Actually... the backstory of mine is close to yours. Xepha comes from a short novel I wrote when I was 14 (expanded to an unfinished longer scfi novel.) In that story, Xepha is a planet of art, nature and knowledge. ^.^ All of my others internet aliases come from that story too.

Nimphal Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 My real name is Christina. But when I was little and learning to talk Christina was too dificult to say, and so I kinda mushed it together and said Tinti instead. And so my dad has allways called me tinti. My sister think it's a bit silly, but i feel like it's an invisible part of my name ;) This is absolutely adorable. I am half tempted to name a future child Christina so I can call them Tinti. My mother has a similar story. Her name is Vesela (pronounced phonetically), but that was too hard for her when she was little, so she named herself Eti. So cute! To answer the question, my username is something that just popped into my mind in the days of IMVU. I used to use characters as names as well, but for whatever reason NImphal is now my main alias on many many websites. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mine comes from some of my first years on the internet. I joined a Rainbow Brite fan group on Yahoo. (Rainbow Brite is a cartoon from the early 80s for those that haven't heard of it.) Most of the members of the group picked a character name as their nickname so that everyone else knew who you were and could address you without having to give more information that you wanted to. I picked Spritzie because I liked how it looked and sounded. Spritzie was one of the female blue Sprites. And it stuck and has been my go-to online nickname ever since.

caleew Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mine is the first letter of my first name, first letter of my middle name, and then the first four letters of my last name (which is double barrelled XD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome Back Apathy Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 My first was just my name, Karina. My second was YTTRIUM--and it was just a joke from the five letter logic forum. My third was Farewell to Apathy, because I was gloating over kicking Apathy's booty in the plot. (I was a Seeker.) After a while, I was like, "Well, that's out of date. But I just don't care." So I welcomed Apathy back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novelista Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mine isn't very creative at all. :P When I was younger, my favorite Backstreet Boy was Howie (or "Howie D"), and they sometimes referred to him as "Sweet D". (And since my name is Dayanara, well...snerk) But I hear when you reach 400 posts, you can change it, so I'll just have to keep chugging along. (I'm over halfway there right now! Woohoo!) When I change, I'll either go with Novelista (Spanish for "novelist", since I am...a novelist, not Spanish. :laughingsmiley:) or Jamie's FanGirl, since I lovelovelove James Remar. Mmm...yummy! ;)(*gigglefit*) Zombiiesque and leverhelven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrinwithoutacat Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mine is an Alice in Wonderland reference, from when Alice meets the Cheshire cat. 'Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin,' thought Alice; 'but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in my life!' It's also my main neopets account name.

Mariposa Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mine is pretty simple. "Mariposa" is the Spanish word for butterfly. Spanish is my second language, and the first half of the word looks like my real name (Mary), so I thought it would be a nice, simple username.

deboratibi Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mine is just my first name + the first two syllables of my last name... It's also my neopets username.I know it's kind of dull, but since my first username on neopets was very embarrassing (and the reason why I self-froze), I figured my new name should be something I wouldn't regret later. So my actual name was the best choice for me, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish is my second language, and the first half of the word looks like my real name (Mary), so I thought it would be a nice, simple username. Wow, mariposa in Portugese means moth! How curious! (actually, Spanish and Portuguse are really similar, I'm more surprised by the fact that the same word in this case doesn't mean the same thing :D ) Mine is just my first name + the first two syllables of my last name...

Can't you tell us what was that very embarrassing username? :P :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright ^_^ Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 My TDN username is based on my neopets account brightmanchild, which use to be my main account until I lost access to it. After TNT answer my ticket, numuh_1 has remained my main account because it's the oldest, therefore the best for food club. ^_^ Brightmanchild comes from a random name generator that I had fun with a long time ago. I really don't like the name anymore, though, and am looking forward to changing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbearlyn Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mine is a twist on my first name. Freshman year my friends wanted me to make an instagram but I was stuck on the account name because I wanted it to be a quirky version of my name lol. So my best friend came up with kimbearlyn which is kimberlyn with an a to sound more like cute bear haha and I loved it so much it's become my go to account name since :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawnshine Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I got mine from the "dawnshine shield" in Neoquest I(: My avatar on the Neoboards is also from Neoquest I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nousha Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mine is actually a short form of my name. However my name is Gergana and it seems quite strange that Nousha derives from it ;) But my late grandma used to call me Gerganusha, so... that was it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
light_star2 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I wasn´t very creative with my name, I just repeated my neopets name. That one I wasn´t so lucky to be the first one to have thought of it, thus the 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiiesque Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mine's pretty obvious. I love all things spooky, or to do with Halloween. And I discovered a username that hadn't been taken on Neo, so here we are - a twist on Zombie, Zombii - esque. I do often shorten it to Zombii to be cute? I'm quite happy to have found it.

hrtbrk Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Just a condescend version of my main account name. I changed it for several reasons, mostly because some bad seeds from here were contacting TDN Staff via their Neopets accounts. Do not want. ANYWAY... Heartbreak is from a Kanye West song. You know the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
