My username is the IPA transcription of my real name, but only changing -vjɚ for -vy.

If your mother language is not English, you know my username is pronounced like it's written. Unless your mother language is French.

It was mostly me writing random words during class back in like 8th grade. I wrote "Ravens" and "Raverz" and thought Raverz sounded better. It's been my username for pretty much everything since then.

It's pronounced like Rave (as in like Rave party) and then -erz. I hope that makes sense lol.

I like learning about ship building up to the early modern era, so I picked one of the most influential ships in the last 600 years. As for pronunciation it is usually read as car-a-vel or kar-a-vel.
Have a great day!

It's a spiritual person that spreads positivity (I like the concept of it) and it's read as it sounds, although I wrongly capitalized the W, but I'm too lazy to change it.

I was eating blueberries at the time of making my username for another platform, and then I misspelled it as blooberry to make it sound cooler. I later wanted it to be easier to distinguish from the actual word so I added an extra m.

Just a shitty meme. My Avatar's friend named Nicol got killed, and he cried, saying, "Nicol was only 15, and he loved to play the piano!!"
"Nikoru" is just the Engrish pronunciation of Nicol.

"~and he loved to play the piano!"

Ah man, my explanation is super lame, but here goes anyway...

Back when I was about 7 or 8, I used to play this generic (and frankly, crap) mobile game called Dragon City. If memory serves me correctly, you had this island where you bought and kept dragons. You had to feed them and they'd level up and breed with each other, birthing new dragon breeds. You could also fight other players dragons online. It was sort of a cross between Pokémon and something like My Singing Monsters or Clash of Clans.

Anyway, in the game there was this dragon called the "Mojito Dragon". Long story short, I thought that sounded badass (even though the dragon itself looked really fucking stupid), and I still use the name to this day.

I kept generating manga style characters with Waifulabs until I found one that I thought looked good enough to use as a profile picture. The things on their head kinda reminded me of an oni's horns so I chose "Kii_Ibarra" (which would be Ibarra Kii in Japanese name order) as a pun off the name of the legendary oni Ibaraki-douji

Kii is pronounced like "key".
I assume Ibarra is pronounced "ib-arr-ah" (although the pun works better if you read it "ee-bar-ah") I just found it when looking up surnames that I could use for the pun

People call me Jerry and I love dark souls, So I'm playing dark souls 1 day and I get to Artorias's boss fight, of course, it's a great boss fight so it's highlighted in my brain and the name Artorias is stamped. The next day I'm making a MAL account, I fused Jerry and Artorias and that's how the username Jeritorias came about.

I used to consider myself a brony (a My Little Pony fan), and started using "Mention Pony" username like three years ago on some MLP forums.

But slowly i stopped considering myself as one. By 2019 i was more of an anime fan than a brony. When i created MAL account, i decided to drop the "Pony" for username, leaving only "Mention".

Somewhat long story, but i guess i managed to summarize it.

How is it pronounced? Hmm... Men-sion? Or perhaps men-sen?

People butcher my username all of the time, I assume it's because they're foreign as I haven't heard it from anyone who was native English yet.
It's pronounced "bun" as in bunny and "ill" as in sick. The e is entirely silent. I just added the e to the end of it to make it more flowing and nicer on the eyes, plus it has a more feminine sense to it such as "ette" ending with an e.
I have two ways that I don't think I would mind people saying my name as I always said it in these two says: "ill", or on the other side, "ull" as long as it's not overused. "Ull" is more for if you need to rush a sentence for some reason.
It's literally pronounced the way that English Google Translate pronounces it. I do not understand why it's so difficult to pronounce.

I ate blueberries while making my name for another site, so I named myself "blooberry". I then decided that it made me cringe so I made it bloomberry.

It is pronounced the way "bloom" and "berry" is pronounced.

I wasted a lot of time trying to find a good name so I just googled "Mythical Creatures" and Boom, Nalusa Falaya.

"Mythical Creatures" are usually my go-to solution, Umibozu and Phoenix are also among my usernames but on other websites.

Originally, it was from one of my favourite music artist's more popular songs, and something he would call his fans.

These days, I took it and made it better with my own meanings. I'm happy it's one of the names people call me.

It's pronounced how it's spelled

Just thought of a random word a couple years ago and i just stuck with it. Not the best decision since some of my friends enjoy teasing me about the 'Leave and go' and others often get confused when someone asks me something in a discord call. It's pretty nice replacing the 'Leav' with whatever else like 'Fishingo' or 'Breadingo'.

'leaving go' and some people call me 'leav'

metaphoric birds. i was in a poetry reading competition (i know it's lame , lmao) and one of the poems i chose to read was called "there are birds here". around the time of the competition i decided to change my twitter handle to something that wasn't my actual name , and the poem was bouncing around in my head from practicing memorizing it. i got "metaphoric birds" from the line "they said those birds were metaphors"

the poem is by jamaal may if anyone is curious :D
