how did everyone come up with their username?

Former Member

just wondering... how did everyone come up with their username?

some are obvious.. your actual name or what ever, but i've seen all sorts- random combinations of letters, random names in general, etc... so let's hear?

mine is actually because of downton abby (those that read my intro would know that)

my name's emily, so put lady in front of it.. like downton- in that show is lord and lady grantham, but here it's lady emily.

lol

Starry night

I looked out of my window in a fairly sentimental mood.

When my mum was pregnant she wanted to call me Emmalee, but the person who registered my birth (Nan) thought my mum said "Emily". So now I'm called Emily, but I really like the spelling of Emmalee...

I'm a big fan of Riot Grrl culture and I was thinking of my next research project having something to do with Riot Grrl subculture and the methodology I like to use when doing sociological research is to become a participant not just an observer so I thought Miss_Riot worked well. <confusinggeekishness/>

Not really sure why I picked mine, just kinda liked the image of a broken-angel. I used to be called Crying-angel.

My youtube name is better... MissPerfectlyFake because of how fake my "perfect" made up image is compared to how I feel inside.

That's not easy to say.
The name was heard in the Mothman case (you can google that, it's easy to find info -but don't get confused by the movie based on the supposedly real events) when someone claimed to have met an alien named "Indrid Cold" in the street. According to this account, he looked like a very tall man. If you believe the story, some relate him to the "men in black" (which is a concept more complex than the movie with that title showed) or the "grinning man" figure that others have seen.

I used my middle names
