I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

Theblockernator is a portmanteau of my name, Blocker, and Terminator.

it has nothing to do with anime, it's actually the name of my YouTube channel and was the custom nickname of my finishing move in the WWE Games.
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

A Lightworker is basically a very spiritual/positive person, and my family were very into spiritualism.
I made a mistake of capitalising the W to kind-of make it sound like 2 words though...

Ashok has two meanings:
i). One who absorbs all sorrows & worries.

ii). चक्रवाती सम्राट "अशोक" (in eng. King of the Kings Almighty "Ashok") who ruled the Kingdom of Magadh (in India); also our ancestor.

And Kumar means किशोर (One who is not engaged or married yet) and is also often use for Indian Surnames.

P.S. English is not my first language, so please ignore any mistakes.

@Ashok_Kumar No problem, it's understandable and namaste!

It comes from Nyarlathotep... the one from Persona to be specific. At some point some other user's name got mixed in due to a game and it stuck. I'd change it to Nyarly-Kamin_Rider next, but i never saw Kamen Rider so that wouldn't make sense.

Originally I wanted the username "Notaku" a blend of "No" and "Otaku", but it wasn't available anymore, so I searched for a Japanese version of "no" or "not" that somewhat fits together with "Otaku" and found the auxiliary "Zaru" on jlearn.net and then "Zarutaku" was born.

If I had a penny every time this question has come up in the forums I'd have like... 10 pennies.

Zedlin: Wanted to transition from my old username PineappleTheDuck to something else so I started "Zed" since I liked the way it sounded and after fumbling around with different letters ended it with "lin."

Similar story for how I ended up with the username Reavius for another forum started with Reav and kept trying different endings till I found the one I liked.

I just took a nickname that I have almost 20 years (only on the internet). No particular meaning. If it exists in any language then I have no idea about that and I don't identify with meaning of that word by default.

I pretty often sleep at days, and don't sleep at nights. I even worked at night. Also I hate bright sunlight, and easily get sunburns. Long time ago somebody compared me with vampire. Since then I almost always use this name in internet.

I used to go by nickname Xfbcpsa or FrancuzXfbcpsa, but I wanted to change it. It was around 2014-2015 and I was attached to Konno Yuuki character from Mother's Rosario arc in Sword art Online II, I knew that if I would put Zekken as my nickname it would have 0 originality so I put her nickname meaning into google translator. Zekken in SAO II means Absolute Sword. So one of the synonyms/translation for Absolute in Japanese is Zettai, for Sword I have found a synonym Ken [which means Blade] and I just merged them which gave my current nickname Zettaiken.

If you wonder for my older nickanem - Francuz means French guy in Polish. Xfbcpsa is just a random code from receipt/bill to charge up phone connections/possibility to call I don't remember how it worked back than, when a subcription wasn't that much of a thing for phone connection/calling as using phones to browse internet wasn't that much possible. And the code for one charge up was Xfbcpsa9, it was a receipt of my friend who bought the charge up for his phone, I did like that combination and I don't know why I memorised it instantly even tho I didn't care that much, which is how it ended up as my nickname maybe around 2007 or somewhen as I had to put my nickname for some random MMORPG probably Metin2 and it was my main nickname till 2015 [It is still my nickname in League of Legends as I don't like the fact of buying the possibility to change nickname there]

Didn't really think much of it. It was the same as the one I used on my last account, and I think I just wanted something with a cool, occult, supernatural, yet still oriental theme. Could have also possibly been an homage to the Shinigami from Bleach

My name has a bit of a childish backstory to it (not going that deep into it) but Chilly was my online name for a few years and I just mashed “Bit” to it to create BitChilly! And now it’s turned into a pun on my part (⁠ ⁠◜ᴗ◝ ⁠)

So, I use the name "Pickle" online for pretty much everything--
"Tsukemono" means 'pickled things' and refers to pretty much any pickled fruit or vegetable.
Seemed fitting for an anime website.

In Japanese, “Kusa” means “grass or weed,” “iro” means “color,” and “kusairo” means “grass green.” At the time, I was trying to think of a Japanese/anime-related name, and couldn’t think of what name. Then I thought about touching grass and grass touchers, and eventually ended up with “kusairo.” “Kusa” is also Japanese internet slang for “lol!”

Amaterasu is a Japanese Sun Goddess, and the numbers are my birthday. I love and worship the sun. I thought it was fitting since I like mythology and she’s a goddess since I am also a girl. So basically I’m saying I’m a goddess 😆

It's my user name almost everywhere, and if I add senpai is because Akito by itself was taken. Senpai term sounds funny xD, a lot of anime meme.

As for Akito origin, is a mix of the kanji aki (autumn) + hito (person). Autumn is my fav season, and since I love Japan culture even before I got into anime world, it fits perfect for me :)

It's the name of a music project of me and my friend, and also the name of our YouTube channel. But the very original source of the name is from back in high school when some of my friends and I snuck into our football stadium the night before Homecoming our senior year and completely covered the bleachers in syrup, as a senior prank. (Yeah, we were dumb lol.) The local newspaper two days later wrote an article about the incident and called us the "Butterworth Boys" 😆
