Everyone's got a story even behind their embarassing first name on here, right? Let's hear 'em!

My first account had some personal details so I'm not sharing that one. However, this current one is because I always loved ice element stuff. So, if there's frost in the name, Bifrost is surely some cool ice thing right?

Took a while to discover it's the name of a rainbow bridge and has nothing to do with ice but by then it stuck....

thunder -- sounds strong but also somewhat distant and melancholy. encapsulates my desire to start connecting with more people at the time i joined the site

egg -- symbolic that i was just starting out with a lot of things ans didn't really feel like a complete person

i prefer to just go by thunder right now because i feel like i understand myself much better! but knowing yourself is also a perpetual process

i believe i might have done a more in-depth write up on this elsewhere on the forum, but i cant remember what topic it was in

Mine is just ''Purple Artist'' in French. 12-year-old me (when I joined the site) drew Spyro fan art constantly and wanted to become an artist. My favorite colour was also purple (I remember having a bunch of purple streaks in my hair at the time, too). I was never very creative when it came to making up names, lol.

My previous accounts were rejected so I just tried the most generic name I could think of to trick Dark into letting me in.

I was really big into Adventure Time back then.

Now, I go by "Insidious" or "Insidigaze," but I usually use the latter now in order to make my name sound more "unique." It means "insidious gaze."

I picked "insidious" after wanting a change; I just didn't like my old name anymore. I randomly picked "Insidious" just because I liked the sound of it; it had a nice ring to it.

I came up with "Insidigaze" after talking with someone about "making usernames unique." "Gaze" was just the first other thing that came to my mind, and so I just mashed it together with "Insidious." I like to think of it as the name of some type of evil rocks or gems, or some type of malicious perfume line or something. IDK; I just liked the sound of it, and for the reasons that I stated before.

My sister suggested it to me. I'm obsessed with the name Erika (that's my real name, yay) so I wanted to keep using it in my username somehow. She just threw out a few random word combinations and this one was my favorite, and also the most descriptive, so I went with it.

My original username was LunarDistortion, a very classic name!

I got "Lunar" as a version of "Luna", which as everyone knows, is a very fine character from the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic animated show I used to watch at the time!

The Fake News Media won't tell you that "Distortion" was based on the Distortion World from Pokemon Platinum, very good game! One of the BEST!

But in the end, people just called me Lunar, for the most part! So when unfortunately I got Ripto'd by the corrupt admin, I made a new account named simply "Lunar"...Very fine name!

Idk lol

WAM is my full name W - William, A - Adam and M- Manuel That my full name but usually used Adam,

Burt is my surname,

1984 is year I was born.

Hotdog was my most hyped character for Giants and I wanted to have it themed around him. As for why "HeyItsHotDog" specifically? Can't remember.

I love purple boi

stole it from this girl who used to upload Spyro fail reels on youtube, i was so obsessed with those videos, I spent hours laughing so hard that my stomach hurt, so for me my username is a constant reminder of those happy days :') her yt name is raggedstar tho i just changed the R to a J

oh i love that username origin story

every nickname i have ever had combined into one very long string of incomprehensible letters taking a mix up of nicknames what better way to make it very specifically …….me…………… i think

I was big on Skylanders, and I first arrived here looking for information on release dates for figures during the Spyro's Adventure era. I thought "Well, I'm hunting for Skylanders... I'll be Skyhunter!" And I apparently had the foresight to pick something that would still sound good even divorced from its original context.

My username comes from a character from Ginga Nagareboshi Gin and Ginga Densetsu Weed! I was watching it back when I joined this site.

My friend Ratchet named me Clank when we first met, as he could not keep track of my given name. I appreciated it, because it helped to differentiate me from the Warbots I was manufactured with.

my parents named me this

Eevee was my favorite Pokemon, but I did not want to be just known as "Eevee." I added 88 since it sounded catchy... There is literally no reason why I chose 88... I have always opted for fives.....

I love dragons.

(I was also 11 years old when I joined. But I still love dragons.)

so there’s this skylander named whirlwind who shoots rainbows from her horn which i thought was pretty revolutionary at the time

People called my dad "Quinny" and growing up everyone said I looked like him, thusly I was the mini Quinny!

You'll notice that I spelled it wrong - "quiny" - I don't know why I did it like that at the time, but I have continued to use this username almost everywhere for 14 years (!) and stubbornly refused to correct it to what it probably should have been all along, which is miniQuinny...

My father passed very suddenly about a year after I made the account, so I guess it's just a nice way to remain connected to him.
