It's interesting where peoples' usernames come from. For example, my original name for this site was going to be ''Hammit'' because a friend of mine made it up after I had drawn a ham on my hand, then we proceeded to do a high five, but she said ''Ham it!'' instead of high five.

My name NOW has no special meaning, it's just ''Fruitylicious'' spelled in a different way.

Is your name an inside joke? An homage to a family member? A character from a show/anime/manga/movie? A combination of two words?

I want to know! xD

LOL, you can guess where I got my name from. Back when I actually cared about the Naruto series, I loved how Tsunade could kick peoples asses.

OH! And of course I got it on the first try! I signed up when the board had only 50 members on it. XDDDD

>.>;

EDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT:

There was another thread like this before, I swear. XDDD LOL!

Mine is pretty random. I didn't have a single username that I would use across different sites when I joined this site (I do now and it's not this) so I just made it up.

Except, it's not totally random... IIRC I came up with it because one of my friends uses "unknown" in his username a lot so I just stuck that with the word Entity (I guess I thought the word sounded cool at the time).
Pretty bored.

Well, I really like Sakura. laugh.gif

Anything that is related to cherry blossoms and the color PINK is something that I just love. biggrin.gif

I also like the Moon and different kinds of shadows, and if you guys had ever read the 'Garden of Sanctuary' series by Nes Mikel...

'Shadowmoon flowers' will seem very familiar. wow.png

I combined them together, and it sounded great, so I used that as my username. smile.gif

I like to think these things out. a_dance.gif

AWRIGHT! High five for randomness!! I was going to use a random username too, and my original name was going to be Fruitylicious but I accidentally typed S instead of C and... the resg is history.
And yes, entity IS a cool sounding word

I just picked Smiter because I liked the sound of it. happy.gif I also used to play some Quake II and Unreal Tournament online, so it felt like a nice fit for those kind of games as well.

Ugh, this made me remember how long I've been here even though I'm not a dedicated member. Since I lurked for a good amount of months before signing up... I was pretty close to the beginning (of this server anyway... I honestly don't remember if I was on the old server...).

In the SNES RPG Earthbound, there's an enemy called a Ramblin' Evil Mushroom. The last time I played, I wondered why it rambled instead of did something more useful, such as practice kung fu. And since a Truffle is basically a high class mushroom, I thought it'd sound more dignified than KungFuMushroom.

Basically, my name came from me being weird as hell. sweatdrop.gif

Member #1 isn't an actual member. Its a master account that only the admins can access to change the settings of the site and have overall control. IIRC it's called just plain NaruSaku.

As for my username. I originally started out with TrueSalvation during my battle.net days playing StarCraft/Diablo/Warcraft around 01-03. If someone was to refer to me they would just say "True" and it basically stuck and afterward my future accounts would be True(insert) whatever I was using it for. True has basically become my online identity.

Posted 02 August 2009 - 07:59 AM

Well, mine is just plain random. I felt like eating a sandwich, and I was choosing what spread I would use. And then I thought that peanut butter was pretty good for an email, since I needed a new one anyway. I pretty much guessed that 'peanutbutter' would not be available, and nor was 'peanutbutter123', so I just picked a random number and tagged it on. Hence, peanutbutter126. XD

I use this name for everything; I can't be bothered remember more than one username. If I ever came across something where I couldn't use this username, I'd probably come up with a different variation of it, or simply abandon signing up if it's not important. Yes, I am that lazy. tongue.gif

From Final Fantasy Tactics, the group that Ramza started out in were called the "Hokuten", and before they corrected the translation, I thought it was called the Death Corps, but it was a mistranslation, that they meant to call the group a "death corps" and not the actually meaning of the name. Either way, I've been stuck with it.
