When I was right little I had to come up with a name for Webkinz and get my very first online handle. I'm not sure I understood what a username was at the time and kind of thought I was naming some part of my Webkinz thing so I named it after one of my imaginary friends and that's how I became robie2 for years (imaginary friend was a robot so I'm not rocketrobie2 because robie or robie1 was taken). Then I was absolutely gobsmacked when I tried to get my username on another site and it was taken. Wasn't sure what to do so I just tacked rocket at the beginning and badabing badaboom rocketrobie2.

Well, mine is the alterego name of one of my characters, who I came here in part to play, so I decided yeah why not, let's just use that character name as my screenname. And the name itself, I was coming up with a showman-type or magician name, as that's what my character is, and he uses "special effects" a.k.a. "FX" in his performances, so I just wrote that out in a way that resembled a name.

a few years back my best friend and I came up with nicknames for ourselves because we couldn’t keep calling each-other shortened versions of our user names (fish and poké)

I would’ve been something like hia if roblox hadn’t tagged it so I picked a random letter and ended up with Aia

as tradition with creating new usernames, I paired my nickname with the year the account was created and thus aia2022 was born.

it’s so fun reading the origin stories of these usernames. like we’re all in a tavern and discussing about what we’re called

The name Soul came from the movie Soul, which is a favourite of mine. The Stealer part, well, long story short... it goes along with me being a Deatheater. So, SoulStealer was born.

I once wrote a short story about a group of assassins. They collective was called the Red 7, though I've come to stylistically prefer roman numerals

It was the default username for that pokemon cafe game and it just stuck since. I use it for a lot of usernames tbh.

It's the name of someone else's character that I liked. That person has since become completely inactive on the internet, and abandoned the character. So I found it interesting to use it as my own. Username is the name of the character in my profile photo.

So that's an original MLP design by someone who hasn't been active for a while? Did you ever meet the artist?

I met the one who made the character once about 5 years ago. They are gone from the internet as far as I know.

I had a university mate who once jokingly called me a jonisca homocomplicatum, for being a complicated person. It was supposed to be a fun take on the scientific name of humans - homo sapiens + my first name. Little did my friend realize that nickname resonated deeply within me, thus I began using Jonisca on platforms I consider to be important, RPG included.

I try to combine things I like in order to come up with usernames. I like peridot as a gem, and while I've never really been much for writing before, I've always wanted to try RP which was an oddity for me. Thus peridot and oddity became Periodity. It just sounded nice :]

Back in 2008, CBBC made this game called Adventure Rock. At that time, I usually used 'aspcc' as my username, which originated from my older sister taking the first letters of the first name of each member of our immediate family and stringing them together. However, Adventure Rock required a username be six letters or longer.

Before then I had played this Pokémon fan game. At one point in the game, I needed a password to see this old sage. The password ended up being 'goldrush'. With that being more than six letters and me already having a password, I tried to use that as my Adventure Rock username. However, that name had already been taken. The game offered a few similar alternatives, one of which was 'rush99999'. I chose that one and have been using it ever since.

With my username, it is not a big story, nor was the idea very original.
I just took two parts of old usernames, one from one username and one from another, from other roleplay sites I was on in the past. The first parts that is. I took vampire from one and twilight from the other and... boom... there we go.

As for the origins of the usernames they came from.... those are different stories.
