What's the story behind your username?

[Aroaceing it]

It was a pun on my orientation

[AviaWilliam]

Avia = Shorter version of aviation. William = My name

[pulchritudinous_toast]

I'm a writer, and sometimes I won't know how to describe something properly with just the vocabulary I already have, so I'll go onto thesaurus, right? Well, sometime a few months ago I was trying to find the right word for beautiful that wasn't, uhm, beautiful, for this romance side-plot I was writing (which, can I just say is incredibly difficult to do as an aro? the amount of research I've put into it is ridiculous). It was then that I'd randomly discovered the longest word for beautiful in the English language, pulchritudinous; the definition being just "beautiful." with a seemingly important period placed at the end. 

And I think toast is quite beautiful in my opinion, like have you ever seen perfectly toasted bread with butter melting on the top? That sight deserves every synonym for beautiful in the English dictionary hands down.

[Laxkid]

Growing up, I played lacrosse (lax) from 2nd grade through 12th grade. I've always been involved with lacrosse since a young age. My brother still plays and my father refs. After graduating from high school, I've been a XC and track runner for the past 4 years in college. "Laxkid" was my first username that I can remember well. Despite not still playing myself, I still use the username sometimes when I can't think of anything else.

[GoodbyeRepublicServices]

I volunteer for Republic Services (the garbage company in my area).

[Deltalorian]

"Delta" came from the fact that it is my favourite greek letter as well as the letter D being one of my initials, while "lorian" comes from mandalorians, from star wars. I thought that put together, Deltalorian doesn't sound too bad actually.

[MaikeruSapphire]

Maikeru is my first name translated to Japanese, sapphire is my birthstone.

Sometimes I shorten it to "maisap", which is the first 3 letters of each (converted to lowercase because it looks cooler).

[alto]

I sing alto in choir, when I am in choir

[psych_non]

I use psychotic_nonsense for my Instagram username. This is just a shortened version. As for the OG name, I just have a bunch of weird, random thoughts; a bit crazy, if you will. So it’s just nonsense, thus the name.

[Mihiko]

When I needed to start my first account that is not official. I think it was a gaming site or sth like that. I knew that I can choose other thing than my actual name. So being fully into anime at that time I decided to find some Japanese name that I will like. I wanted sth that will start on the same letter as my actual name but want be very popular and 'Mihiko' just sounded great.

[that halo nerd]

My username came from me thinking about what I would have as a username if I was a YouTuber

[Dominus Temporis]

My name is latin for "time lord" because I used to like Doctor Who a lot when I was younger, and I enjoy learning different languages + I have a massive interest in history. 

[rationalcucumber]

I couldn't think of anything so I just went to a tumblr url generator lol

But I like it, I've been using it in many places

well it started out with Among Us lol. I really love the songs and the words lovely and anathema, and I used them both as Among Us usernames, and then I ended up sticking with lovely because I can do the fancy slashed o that twenty one pilots uses that's in danish and some other languages and then I started using it for other usernames and I like people calling me it so much that I made it my name everywhere, which is perfect cuz I was having issues with my first name and my middle name both making me feel dysphoric. So now everyone just knows me and lovely and it's great! Love it.

Coincidence much that Anathema is a song by Twenty One Pilots?

As for my username, well, I made to join a Discord server for Muslims called Straight Struggle. I was in a hurry, and had to finish quickly, so I thought of this name as quickly as possible. 

I like elements and elemental stuff, so I chose storm, and then leopardcat because I like mammals and wanted something native to my country, as a little identifier and to bring the animal and my country along with everywhere, as a little reminder and identifier. As for the underscore, I like using those everywhere!

[AroAcedragon13]

i'm aroace and dragons are cool.13 is a number :)

[alien]

My first name is kinda similar to alien and people started calling me that so it became my username on arocalypse

[DeltaAro]

My original username was "DeltaV": a term from spacecraft flight dynamics.

Aside from my aromanticism, INTP vs. INFP is seriously the big conflict of my life 😐.

I always hear that the Myers-Briggs test is unscientific. But at least it nailed that one, totally. Feeling vs. Thinking for me hovered around 50% : 50% for a long time.

And INFP won in the end.

So after using "DeltaV" for a long time, I finally changed it to "DeltaAro". Which fits me much better!

[piroshki101]

I watched Yuri on Ice and one of the Yuri's ate a piroshki and I was like damn...that looks good, I should try that at some point. Basically the food caught my eye, so yeah. The 101 part doesn't have much significance. So yeah, food is so fucking good.

[Tallow]

Welllllllll around 3 years ago I created this character that I thought was really cool. It was a ghost candle with not much background aside from the fact that it has to take people's souls and add them to its flame to continue "living". I decided that I needed a name for this character, and so the hunt began. I was looking all around the internet for names for around a week, being the indecisive little queer I am, when I found something. Tallow. 


 

It sounded cool, it meant something for my character, and it was original! I picked Tallow for my oc name (and my name for practically everything else), and I haven't looked back since!     (Wow that was dramatic-)

[EGGHEAD]

i think birds are cool

Doesn’t seem self-explanatory to me. I don’t get what it means?

He who mains Ness: Using the same character all the time in a game is ‘maining’ them. EGGHEAD uses Ness in the fighting game Super Smash Brothers the most.

[The Gray Warlock]

Nothing really glamorous. It's ultimately inspired by a gray bandana I like to wear, and I had an interest in Traditional Witchcraft at the time I thought of it. I thought it sounded pretty badass. It's also kind of a tribute to the Gray Wizard, i.e. Gandalf.

[Storm_leopardcat]

I like elemental stuff (think Pokemon, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Fantasy magic, stuff like that). So, yes, that's why the storm part is there. As for leopardcat? I'm Pakistani, and wanted something recognisable as Pakistani, and wanted to bring a little of my country where I went. Plus, I like animals! I know leopardcats aren't well known, and they aren't only native to Pakistan, but I like felines!
As for the underscore? I simply like using underscores everywhere!

All of this happened when I was making my Discord account, in a rush, as a last-minute decision! So I had to do some quick thinking.

HOLD UP. I already answered this?! Well, it is still interesting to see how different, yet similar my answers are!
By fantasy magic stuff, I meant series like the Magesterium series. I do like fantasy in general, also.

Hmmmm...
