Reasons For Your Username

[Draken Benvolaid]

Just a curious question...

Why did you choose your username?

Does it mean something special to you, or is it because you thought it was cool?
Where does it derive from?

If you changed your name, then also why?


Only One Post Per Person, Please. Edit If You Want.


I guess I'll start...


"Draken Benvolaid" is a Swedish and German mixed name, I think.

My name means "Dragon's Benevolence" when properly translated. A dragon's kindness is a strong ally and it symbolizes my inner self.

Draken itself means "Drake" or "Wyvern", a type of dragon

It's pronounced "Dray-ken Ben-vole-lay-idd".

I got the first part from the Swedish Saab aircraft, J35A Draken.

I began using it about 7 years ago when I started to write long stories/novels. I decided to use it because I had only one other name and its part of my book. I didn't want it to sound self-centered if they ever got published.

[CLOUD]

* Cloudy *

First of all, i'm a huge FF VII fan & especially after AC. So, since Cloud's my fav & that nick is "somehow" taken, i had to use something else, without numbers & %$^&** stuff. So a -y at the end would be quite original.

Other than that, one of my dreams is to fly up in the sky in the clouds. I love the clouds. They're perfect & the sky looks amazing when filled with pink, orange or light blue clouds.

When in my biology class last year, i spent more time staring at the sky than paying attention at the teacher...LOL

Most times, i look sad, depressed and shut to myself, so why the "cloudy" look, some friends ask me. Anything wrong? Nope, just cloudy.

[Violet]

Well, this is a newer name I came up with for a screenname. Other name's I've used were RikkuKitty, alienguru, and TeoAmni. NuttyBunny doesn't have history behind it since I recently made it up, but I thought it would be cute. RikkuKitty started ages ago in a chatroom, and a friend told me that I reminded him of a kitty.. and that it would be even super cute to be a Rikku Kitty, but I hate Rikku now. Alienguru and TeoAmni are my most used ones. Alienguru is based off of an alter ego I made up a long time ago, but it's not really that anymore.. I'm just used to the name. TeoAmni was named after a story character I made, which isn't really my character anymore since someone stole it..long story.

[Setzertrancer]

Setzertrancer was derived from a few events in my past which are basically outdated now but all the same in the 10 years I've been actively involved on the internet I have only changed my username 3 times. This is because I hate the idea of changing it because as I see it you are basically abandoning your identity . Anyway It came from the fact that I think Setzer is a cool name from my favourite FF game and trancer came from the fact that I liked playing around with the trance genre of music when I had a game called Music 2000.

[Anachlirium]

Eh.. All of my names... Let's see..

Rikku_555: I had this for what... 3 weeks at the beginning? Basically, I was sad and n00by and unoriginal. Best I could think of. <3 Rikku, and 555... Random number pulled from head, I guess.

Al Bhed Psycho: This is what I've been for most of my time here. It was also rather unoriginal, but I like it. Pretty much anyone that's played FFX knows it. It's basically a play on words from the "Al Bhed Psyches", the blitzball team.

Millenia: I was Millenia for about a month and a half, I think. This was basically for my favourite[ist] Grandia character, and [IMO] the sexiest ever incarnation of pure evil =P. Hawt. I love her.

Rumour.Delirium: This one's just.. Simple. It was originally going to be Delirium Revived, but I mucked around and came up with Rumour.Delirium. Rumour is the name of my other personality, and Delirium.. Is just a word I like.

[Silver]

lol. I was stoned a whiles back when I was joining another forum. I tried to think of a name and couldn't. Then I saw it on my finger. The ring my mate gave me. A silver ring with a celtic design. Celtic_silver was born.

[Angantyr]

I chose Winter because I am Grim and Frostbitten, colder than the coldest of cold times infinity.

Frostbitten I became, Forthwith to see, Crystalized dimensions, To where the unfaithful fly, You might say, I'm demonized, but yet not the only one, You must come to me, There are nocturnal paths to follow.

My crystal eyes are so cold like Snow spiraling towards auroral clouds, spreading the curse of the Blizzard beasts throughout the lands, Blackwinged ravens cry for tragedies to come, Lurking with snowfall, By doom they drag the robe of ice, Frozen of heart you now reach far.

I am so cold that I am really a women, for I am Winter.

Your a woman? Wait, no, two women at the same time? Neat.


Anywho, I just liked the way my name sounds. It was originally Novacrash, but I liked it just "Nova" a bit better.

I also like explosions, which is pretty much what a Nova is so..yeah .

[Chez Daja]

I'll go through all my usernames.

Chez Daja (which I may at some point soon return to.)

Pronounced; Ch-eh-z, Day-jah.


Chez; derived from Chester Bennington (Linkin Park).

Also means "semen", to which I didn't know at the time (because I was like, 12 when I began using it. ).

Chez was a name two of my friends gave me. Those would be my ex boyfriend Chris (no long know him), and Nix (Nichole), and I still talk to her.

Daja; the name of a girl in a novel I wrote when I was eleven.

Daja also means "African Marijuana", whilst the spelling of the word is the same, the prounouncition is not.


Angela Orosco

Pronounced; Ann-gel-la, Or-ros-ko.

The name of one of Silent Hill's most tragic characters who was deeply depressive and suicidal because she suffered childhood abuse from her parents.


Walter Sullivan

Pronounced; Wul-tur, Sul-liv-van.

The name of Silent Hill 4: The Room's homocidal, suicidal ghost character. He was on a mission to restore his mother, which he believed to be an actual apartment room. Deeply disturbed and mentally sick, Walter Sullivan got kicks from killing victims to complete his mission, however he isn't completely heartless toward children, to whom he felt guilty of killing.


Severeth

Pronounced; Sever-ruf-th.

Derived from my Polish and Russian name "Sewerin"/"Severyn" (pronounced Sever-rin or Se-VE-rin), Severeth is usually taken in as a more masculine nickname for it's rough sounding edge.

Sewerin has no particular meaning, although it is sometimes associated with the Roman family name "Severus".

[Fishie]

I've only changed my username about four times I believe. I was planning to stick with one username for a long time, but after a while I feel like its time for a new change.

1. Fishie: Even though "Fishie" is actually spelled "fishy", it was the first thing that came to mind when I first joined the forums. A majority of people that know me on here still call me Fishie still to this day. I like Fishie a lot, but I felt that I needed a change.....

2. Doughboy: Which lead to the name change of Doughboy. A lot of people don't remember Doughboy at all for some reason, but the reason why I created this username was because I was thnking of the Pillsbury Doughboy, then I thought that'd make a great username. So Doughboy was born.

3. Knox: This username is probably my favorite one I ever thought of. The name sounded cool and it has an edge to it. I wanted a name that sounded the opposite of Fishie. Fishie sounded like a little child, and I wanted a name that sounded older and more mature.

4. Diddy: Diddy!!!!!!! I used to love playing Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2 with Diddy in it. This monkey was so cool. He's one of my favorite characters out of all the videogames I ever played. Oh, I also thought of the rapper as well when creating this too.

[DragonHeart]

My username is the title of a '95 movie about a dragon. The story isn't the best but the CG effects are amazing - I've never seen a better movie dragon. Anyways, when I first joined this forum I was fourteen and obsessed with the movie, so I named myself after it. In hindsight, I should have considered the ambigious nature of the name; even now people still mistake me for a guy lol.

I've considered changing it but eh, I've been DH for a fair amount of time now and it just wouldn't sound right to be anything else. I use it for pretty much anything that requires a username with only a few exceptions.

~DragonHeart~

[Halie]

I chose 'Firefly' because at the time my favourite song was well...'Firefly' by Breaking Benjamin. I thought it sounded like a good username so I decided to use it.

I also changed it to ~Miss Murder~ before Firefly, because it used to be my favourite song, and I also had Lithium simply because it also use dot be my favourite song lmao.

And the name I singed up to TFF with was FFX_FFX-2Aholic, which I used beause I was obsessed both games. Makes sense really. lol.

.x.Firefly.x.

[Shadow Of Darkness]

Ultima_Luka: cause my favorite spell is Ultima , but the name Ultima was already used so I added my name too.
Shadow of Darkness:I like the word shadow and darkness its sounds cool, so i combined them and so...SoD was born!!!
