What does your username signify?

I liked Nickelodeon Guts as a kid.

Ever since Mario Maker came out I have enjoyed browsing through the recently submitted levels, and I still do. One refresh led me to a level named ā€œHotel Bonesā€ and I immediately decided that was better than any username I had used prior. I hope I never change it.

Mizu being romanji for the japanese word for water which i chose because of uh…personal reasons (it’s moodswings, run away) and the added i to make it cuter.

It’s just my name!

Apparition OnLine was just a halloween Twitter name pun on AOL, but I’ve really grown fond of it.

Surprisingly not a reference to the twitch meme.

I started using Supa_Kappa when I bought Minecraft in 2009 or 2010 because I was worried Nintendo would sue me if I continued using supa_mario. (I was a teenager).

It’s a reference to a kappa (cool-ass mythological Japanese turtle creature) with super powers from one of my Japanese textbooks.

I made my username in the early 2000s - my name is Ken (or Kenneth, if we’re getting fancy), I liked the tie in to the whole ā€œY2Kā€ thing, and it also probably was at least partly influenced by ā€œY2Jā€ Chris Jericho as well. I’ve used it ever since, when I can get it.

As someone from the UK, is there a notable difference between this and regular apple juice? I had a quick search and it seems to be mostly the same thing, but perhaps unfiltered. In which case I’d say we do have similar stuff here, it’s just listed as a different type of apple juice rather than as a ā€œsoft/regularā€ cider. It’s real good, though, I agree!

It’s flat pressed apples, unfiltered. Apple juice in the US is heavily filtered, with water and sugar added. I hate apple juice. Cider is pure nectar straight from god’s tree presents.

It’s an acronym for a name that an admin on another forum gave me. I stick with the acronym because it’s way easier to explain that what the acronym stands for.

Well, now I’m curious.

I made it up as a name for a character for a middle school writing project. I think. It’s a little fuzzy.

Anyway, I tried to model it after Tolkien’s elves, and I think I did a fair job. I’ve been asked if I’m Welsh before, and I believe Welsh formed some of the basis for Sindarin. (Also ā€˜Aldwyn’ means ā€˜old friend’ in old english which is pretty rad tbh)

Unfortunately it also sounds quite close to ā€œAlduinā€ which has become… annoying in recent years. (I used to think of it as Al-DOE-win but habitual usage and other people actually saying it turned it into AL-dah-win, making this somewhat worse.)

This one time, I wore a hat.

Yeah, I’m totally with you then. In the UK juice with added water & sugar has to be labelled as ā€œā€¦ Juice Drinkā€ (because it’s not pure enough juice). Our standard apple juice is decent, but local farm shops near me sell varieties of what you’re talking about and, yeah, it’s fantastic.

I’ve gone through a few internet names at this point, but this one started on SomethingAwful with me wanting a name that sounded like an N64 game, like Tetrisphere. Though, there it was Cuboidals! 64. Anyway, Cuboid sounds better to me now.

I thought it would be funny to add the ā€œanarchoā€ prefix to Obama’s name.

Something stupid and randomly generated. It’s not really representative of me or my interests, aside from a love of Mexican food.

Not my original SN, been using this only lately.

[details=Why the change?]I used to use my real name, and my brother’s ā€œMilitary Occupational Specialtyā€ code. It became a family thing where we all used the same code.

Unfortunately, since it is military related, we (everyone that isn’t my brother) were giving the wrong impression to others who know and where looking for other service members to bond over. :worried: We still use the MOS as a clan tag, but been moving away from it when playing solo.[/details]

Fast forward to now: For the past few years, I place online orders using silly names. (Like ā€œThis is for RubberDuckā€) Meow Mix has stuck around much better for me, and sounds like a DJ name. Add 64 to the end to really give it that absurdist and silly sound.
