Re: Why did you pick your username?
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away known as my old house, I made an account for something (I forgot what). I couldn't think of anything so I just combined the first three words that could come into my head. I thought it sounded fine and now I use it everywhere.

Re: Why did you pick your username?
Years ago I had to come up with a new nickname for Pokémon GO because my previous one was too long, then I decided to use it anywhere else as I liked it more and it didn't contain my dead name.
I have always been fascinated by darkness and dragons, so I have taken my chosen name (Itzal) and another one (Drake) and to do something more original I decided to put them together because of their meaning.
So my username can be translated as shadow dragon and I love it
The only downside of this nickname is that Drake is a more popular name than Itzal so people who don't know me tend to call me Drake but that's fine

Re: Why did you pick your username?
Oh yeah I know it and thank you!
I love it not only because of its meaning but also for being a short name and not Italian, as I live in Italy I am always surrounded by people with Italian names and I wanted to be more original

Re: Why did you pick your username?
isnt it obvious?
Re: Why did you pick your username?
I still think it's funny that people thought I made up Steo for a username, and they were shocked when I said it's basically just my name.

Re: Why did you pick your username?
It's funny, now there's a character in Fair City called Steo, so it's a name I hear in a lot of places. That guy's bad news though, unlike you

Don't martyr yourself like that, a bit of self-love doesn't hurt anyone, right?

Re: Why did you pick your username?
Heheheh I remember a period of time in the beginning where I gave myself the impression that I was supposed to call him "Stay-o" and not Steo. 

.....
These days I only use Jonster on RPC. There may be other accounts around that still have this name (like my Switch account), but otherwise I don't use this in chatspace like Discord, I now use certain BGE character names as my handle these days. Hee hee I wonder if Plum would guess correctly what my current username is.
Ah, nice! I was probably playing Sword/Shield at the time I asked this (I was thinking of Wyndon for some reason when I came up with the idea).lyndo64 wrote: Thu Aug 31, 2023 12:01 amnah its lyndodThe Jonster wrote: Wed Aug 30, 2023 11:57 pmWait does that mean your first name is Lyndon?lyndo64 wrote: Wed Aug 30, 2023 10:29 pm I just took the last letter off my name and added an N64 reference![]()

Btw you were correct, I was trying to be "funny" with saying my name was "lyndod,"although I don't really know what I was going for there.

Re: Why did you pick your username?
LyndoN64 would have been a great username too 
Just curious... What's the reason behind "Jonster"?The Jonster wrote: Fri Apr 26, 2024 11:23 pm These days I only use Jonster on RPC.

Re: Why did you pick your username?
At least it's close. I think Hoodoo's mother kept calling me that, or something like it anyway.
You definitely weren't the only person to do that.The Jonster wrote: Fri Apr 26, 2024 11:23 pm Heheheh I remember a period of time in the beginning where I gave myself the impression that I was supposed to call him "Stay-o" and not Steo.![]()
