Why is your name, your name?

[hermeswind]

dragonwind was something i created when i was a tiny weak 9yearold beh
i have held it forever since.

hermeswind was supposed to be temporary xD

[phoenix]

I have too many former usernames so I'll just do my current one!! mostly, its an ace attorney reference LOL, but also a reference to fahrenheit 451

[Streamtail]

Streamtail was the name of my very first OC, I created her before I even joined this site back when I was only 10. Before I knew it, Streamtail (or variations of it at times where it has been used) just became my username for everything. It's been years since I joined the site and my username has held a special place it my heart.

[Seamrog]

Seamrog — Comes from seamróg which means shamrock in Irish! It’s pronounced 'sham-rogue' (well kinda, Irish pronunciations can be difficult) which is actually where the English word comes from!

Old usernames:

Concorde — My favourite plane!

Vitalspark — It’s from an old Scottish comedy TV show called Para Handy, which is about a ship called the Vital Spark

[GrimacingHeron]

I've had three major usernames. The first one was "Wolf Tuber" because I really liked wolves and wanted to be a youtuber as a kid. :)

The second one was made as a joke and I just, ran with it?? I said, "Heyo, is, mayo, naise" to a friend and my friend thought it was a dumb joke, so I made it my user out of spite. >:)

That name stuck until I reached my new one "GrimacingHeron!" :D I think it might've been inspired by Homestuck?? Regardless, I like the McDonald's Grimace character 'cause he's purple(my favourite colour) and the double meaning of me "grimacing" is funny. My name is Heron(my favourite bird), so that part is easy. :)

[sambam]

sambam because it rhymes. and it mimics the name of one of my friends. and bam (explodes) and sam = samuel/samantha

[Marigoldwhisper]

Boo! When I first joined actually, I came from rainstar.webs where I didn't have an account. But, when I joined this site, it was so much more complicated. My brain short circuited. So, when it came to enter my username, I was scared that my user meant the cat I wanted to use. So, I took the character i would roleplay as (Marigoldpaw) and gave her her "warrior name", Marigoldwhisper. I used this name so I'd be able to rp as her cause that's how I thought the forums worked!

If I actually had some brains, I would've named myself the usual Cocopony from all my other socials lol. But oh well, I don't plan on changing it, cuz it's really stuck with me actually.

Thanks for asking!

[Apollo.]

leodaleaf -> its the name ive used on my other socials and games, comes from my own name plus i thought leaf sounded cool. 2016 username lol.

Apollo. -> i really like ancient history and mythology, apollo was my favourite greek god for awhile, and the username apollo was already taken on here so i just added a '.'

so yeah, not super interesting lol

[finley]

you'd never guess.

[finley]

as for past usernames-

I started here as finley.exe if I remember correctly. I'm a sucker for old internet stuff.

then I was sillycreatur briefly, because its my default username on most things, and then finley !! , but the !!s got too complicated.
