A lot of people on here have very interesting usernames, and I was just wondering if there were cool stories behind any of them. I'll start, but I will warn you in advance that when this story took place, I had spent the last 30 days canoe tripping with a group of six other girls, and we had gone a bit crazy (well, crazier than usual. It's what happens when you have no contact with humans outside of a small group whom you know very well).
Anyway, we decided we were members of a cult worshipping the sun, the west wind (which brings good weather, as we'd had lots of rain previously), and the lake on which we were camped, as it was absolutely gorgeous. Anyway, we decided we needed new names for our cult, and I chose Alba, which is the name of a character in the book The House of the Spirits, by Isabel Allende, which I would highly recommend to anyone who likes magical realism. My mum later told me that it is the Gaelic name for Scotland (my parents are Scottish), though in the former case it comes from the Latin word for 'white', and the character in question is the daughter of a woman named Blanca, who in turn is the daughter of a woman named Clara.
So, let's all share where our names came from!

I thought AndrogynousJellybean would be an amusing sn. It was too long- however Melon fit fine.

it's like, neither male nor female.
or rather a mixture of both.
I was making a deviantart account and it was actually during that horrible pre-teen phase where all your s/n are things like "GCxForever" or "mrs.Pitt". stuff like that.
i knew i was going to end p kicking myself later if i made up something like that, so i somehow had a stroke of genius and got Child-Of-Fae. I was also CuteWhenYouScream on here for a while. That's from "You're Cute When You Scream" by Senses Fail.

Easy. My nickname, and then how people tend to mispronounce my last name.

The usernames I mostly use, are Twistedblender, TwistedDiabolus, and Spammich.
Because I'm a twisted person who is crazy.

Fae, I always used to read your scream SN 'yourecutewhenyoucream'. I lol'd daily.
I've always been picky about SNs, I don't pick something like Orlando_Blooms_Mistress, or anything silly like that. I also refuse to use numbers(Trey878787).
I was lucky, usually Trey is taken, but I use Trey because it's my name.

@childoffae: I'd forgotten you were cute when you scream for a while .. I remember now, though (seeing as you just told me ...)

From the soda. Nessaindisguise gave me an empty bottle with the image from the main page used as a label as a going-away present when I moved. XD<3

Heh, clover's actually really old, now. I've been going by clover online now for over four years, actually. Okay, does anyone here remember this show a while ago called 'Totally Spies'? It showed on Teletoon in Canada. Well, anyways, its about these three girls who are given a dream house in Beverly Hills--with one catch; they have to become suprsekrit spy girls. And the entire series is cracktastic. So, there's Sam, who's the bitchy, sarcastic one, there's Alex, who was the red-headed nice team leader responsible one... And then there's Clover. Who is the blond, shopaholic ditz. My friends decided that I was 'totally Clover', half to spite me and half to tease me. However, at the same time, my favourite song was Metallica's "No Leaf Clover"; so I just took the two meanings. And I started calling myself n0-leaf-clover online, in places such as deviantart; and then eventually I just shortened it to 'Clover'. And Clover's been my handle ever since. Useful coincidences, yes? (I've gone by Clover for so long that I have RL friends who know me by it more then by my first name, and I get snailmail sent to that name.) And for the curious,  blonde one? Clover. At the time, I had my hair styled like that. >XD |
