Re: Inspired Usernames

@Ruenhonx: haha, that made me laugh, I only think of a bee because leat year I think it might have been Sophie, had typed in "happy birthday bee" into google she she attached this image that looked so cool - well I liked it anyway

Thinking more about how I came to have Bee as my username I have this long winded story...
Basically when I first signed up to the forums I didn't really know who I was. I was kind of lost in everything and it was when things seemed so grey and lifeless. When I had to create a username I just put unknown, because I didn't know who I was. Eventually I came around to the forums and I wanted a different name, I didn't want to bee seen as a negative, I wanted to be more of a positive. I wasn't very creative and Just took the first 2 letters of my name and repeated the second. And it just stuck, I wasn't entirely happy with it but it was the best I could do. And after a while it just grew.
So when I signed up to these new forums, I just took my old username, and dropped the number.
Right now it kind of tells me to just bee, not to worry about the future or the past but to focus on the present.

Remember you're amazing just as you are

Re: Inspired Usernames
@LUTW: Makes sense to me! That's a good idea I reckon, I wouldn't have thought to centre it around one of my interests like that.
@Rue: Oh okay, that's really cool! Thanks .
@Doris: I love that you have Dory as your avatar when your name is Doris . I wish I knew of a character I could do that with.
Bee: Aw, thank you! It's funny that you mention that you didn't always like your username as I didn't like mine at first either! I've always liked yours too, and I love that you've attributed the meaning to just 'bee-ing' in the present and not worrying.
@Birdeye: That's interesting that your user name came from liking birds and the whole 'birds eye view' concept. I've always thought your username sounded quite wise (I think I got that from the whole 'birds eye view' thing and thinking that birds are more perceptive than people)

Re: Inspired Usernames
I've always wondered this too, and everyone seems to have some pretty awesome stories behind their usernames
Mine is a combination of two inside jokes I have with a friend. 'Loki' was the name of a band (that's since had a namechange) that we both love to hate. As for the 'fish' at the end, well, that's the surname of the frontman of the band, who when I was fourteen I decided to 'marry' (I was a really crazy fangirl - and still probably am.) So 'Fish' has kind of become my second surname to those who know me.
When I signed up for RO I had spoken to my friend earlier that day, and I wanted a username that would cheer me up when I saw it. So, lokifish was born.
No human being, however great or powerful, was ever so free as a fish

Re: Inspired Usernames
@Ruenhonx: Ahh, I'd always wondered how to pronounce your username... But with that explaination I can't pronounce it... I can't seem to get my toung around it haha
Thanks

@Birdeye: upon re-reading your explaination of your username I realise that you mentioned the birdeye view and I just rattled on about what I thought it mean - birdseye view, I should probably pay a bit more attention next time

Re: Inspired Usernames
Mine has a Buddhist meaning. Atma means the higher self or soul.
That is about as simple as I can make it without confusing you.

Re: Inspired Usernames
Thanks Ruen,
I spent awhile thinking of what to make it as my old one was just a nickname I picked up when I was younger.
I love that my name means something to me!

Re: Inspired Usernames
Well my username... I've had tages one for ages and it's basically the username I use for everything. I don't think there's a heck of a lot of meaning behind it, just that I'm one of those artsy fartsy type people and I do a lot of digital art, graphic design, etc. And I thought "graphic" is a cool word and basically corresponds to everything I do, and then I made it "graphiqual" with a 'qu' instead of a 'c' cause it just sounds and looks that much cooler. And also cause I just tend to like misspelling words for the sake of it
