A comment by @Ilikegreenembers gave me an idea for something I don’t think we’ve done on the site before. We’ve all gotten pretty used to thinking of each other by our usernames. The question is, what prompted each of us to choose the name that we did? I thought it would be fun to share.
Kilmarnock228 is also my Wiki username, the latest of a half-dozen or so I’ve had over the course of the years. After basing my names on fandoms that I ultimately ended up disliking and not wanting anything to do with anymore, I decided to go for something I know I won’t potentially, eventually become disgusted with: something based on my heritage. To get the boring part out of the way, 228 stands for my birthday, February 28.
Kilmarnock happens to be a burgh, or town, in Scotland. (There’s also one is Virginia, so not too far from the birthplace of the series we all love). A branch of my family is from the original one, and it’s a heritage I am grateful for. Though I can’t help but wonder if it’s being
is the reason folks occasionally have trouble spelling it ;).
So that’s my username story-what’s yours? Even if you have a name obviously derived from the books, let us know why you picked it.
My PaPa calls us nicknames and one of them is Mickey. I have a friend, and our nicknames for each other are May and Jay. Thus resulting in Mickey May
Soo.. My first username, Mae, is my initials.
My second, Meredith, came about because one of my friends at camp forgot my real name and Meredith is kinda close to that.
Merida started because one of my other friends misheard me when I said Meredith and thought I said Merida.
And I just like Stella.
ok. let me do a better job on this since i have time.
i always loved Hazel from Watership Down. so...
when i started, i named my rabbitry something i disliked later. so i decided to add the Hazel part. and then i added the Tree part because Hazel Tree Rabbitry sounded cool... :) so thats going to be what i get registered under when i register my rabbitry this upcoming fall after 3 years of bunnies.. :)
i chose it as my username because it's a good representation of myself.
with rabbits and all...
My username is based on a project I had to do last year in a topics in humanities class. We had to create an imaginary world (it was an interesting class, fun though) and the main character's ended up being named Broken Arrow. She was very similar to my own OC, so I just decided to use that name cause I though it sounded cool.
my username, Hazel Tree rabbitry, is something i chose because
a) i call my rabbits hazel tree-ers
b) i like rabbits
[i might change my usernme to Fleck.....[from my fanfiction and also my character in the green ember]
For several years now, I've used Kal Wingfeather and Artham Wingfeather (From the Wingfeather Saga) as my usernames for everything. I tended to use Artham Wingfeather as my names for most places but most games didn't allow that many characters so I used Kal Wingfeather for those.
But I joined the Wingfeather site as Artham as used that for several years. I changed my name to Sun Wukong both on there and on here at some point (Sun Wukong is a character in RWBY who references the Monkey King in mythology, specifically the Journey to the West) but everybody got confused so I went back to Artham.
The funny thing is that even when people who knew me as Artham learned my real name, they still continued to call me Artham so many of my best friends don't call me by my real name.
Wow! One big happy family😐
I did mine cuz I like the hobbit (and all Tolkien stuff) and misty mountains sounds cool and I’m writing a fanfic of a doe named misty.🙂
I just used Eliza because that's my real name. I have experimented with usernames in the past, but I've yet to come up with one that I really like or describes me, so I went simple. Although this kinda makes me wish I'd been more creative!
Speaking of usernames, I don't know if @Artham is around, but I've always wondered what Sun Wukong means!
Well, my username is rather self-explanatory... I've used this same one in several places for about two years now. I chose to spell 'love' as 'luv' because it changes things up a bit. Now I can't imagine it being anything else. 😂
I just use my name, as my account here is linked to my Google one, so it just defaulted to that.
We chose our name because the Fowlers are awesome, there are three of us and the Fowlers are awesome....did we already say that...lol....
Very simple....
We were gust trying to think of a GE related name and remembered The game That was played at the begging and end of the series (Star seeking).
Awww, that's so cute!
okay, my storys slightly interesting... I was going through a Jo phase, (like I’m sure we all have) I still had Weezie as my favorite character but you know... So I chose Jo. And the 4life was inspired by my younger cousins who absolutely adore me. Like won’t leave me alone adore. And they would always say to me “we love you, Cassie4life!!!” So I chose that because I love my little troublesome cousins!
Don't worry @Bearer of the Flame, mine's kinda boring as well. I wanted my username to be something special from TGE, and I had always loved "The Scribe of the Cause" title, so I decided to use that. Not much story there...
Hmm... well, I wanted to do like a GE fan forever thing, but found that one already taken, so I kinda just chose Bearer of the Flame... sorry, kinda boring and original 😂
Um... My name is Ian, and my last name begins with G. (Yeah, I don't have much to say here. Good idea, though, @Kilmarnock228 ! I never knew it was a town)
I chose my name site name because I wanted to be original and just me. @Jo Longtreader Whatever you want to do really. I like both families.
Well, I picked Jo Longtreader, because I liked Jo and Pick. I just released how overrated they are. I prefer Cole and Henya, and might change my name to represent them, but might not... Thoughts?
