Like is there a story behind It? I got mine from the first forum site I was on. The Nintendo Nsider forums. Those were the golden days of internet. No ads on YouTube, Facebook was getting killed by MySpace. And the left didn't filter everything you said.

There was a late Antique saint from Syria called Simeon Stylitzes or Simeon of the pillar who apparently after trying caves and the like settled for living on a pillar as a hermit to get away from soceity, materialisim etc. only it's pretty noticeable living on a pillar and his fame spread and people kept coming to him for advice, apparently he was pretty good at it for a guy who thought living on a pillar to get away from soceity was a good life decision, even an emperor is supposed to have wrote to him and he inspired a whole series of hermit imitators. Anyway I was involved in student revue's at university for students in the ancient history department and wrote a skit where Simeon was a kind of celebrity psychiatrist trying to deal with the infamous relationship problems between the emperor Nero and his mother (obviusly with little success), I also played Simeon in said skit. I'm now basically a hermit myself living an isolated anti-social life on a mountain so I figured a hermit making pronouncements from on high fit a history nut shut-in rating anime from his mountain abode.

TLDR version: There was a saint by that name. I wrote and played him in a comedy skit.

this is my fourth username since my join date and i suppose probably my least
interesting - that being said, i do still like it though i also think it no longer suits
me anymore. at the time i just felt like i wanted a softer name and one that would
fit all the layouts and sets i'd been using then.


grouper - no other

I've had a couple usernames since I've been on MAL, but I'm going to be sticking with Zera. My favourite manga for years has been Litchi Hikari Club, and the protagonist in it goes by the name Zera. I've always been fond of short usernames as well.

There's no story behind it, I just like how it sounds and the meaning behind it *in Kanji I mean*, so I just sticked with it. This is actually my second name, I won't reveal my first one I had.
I'm planning to stick with this one from now on, even though I have it for more than 1 year. I just got so used to it, and have it on all my social media, that it has become a part of me, and everybody online knows me with this name. It's like my stage name hahaha.

From all those times I thought of you as 'swaggy' in my head, I guess its a good thing I didn't vocalize it then.

My name story is less exciting. Just my first initial + middle name + last initial. Used it for the past 12-13 years, originally started using it on ps3

Well, my original username was Mud Witch - because I'm not creative.

Can't remember if I was craving potato chips at the time, but let me tell you, it's the best username I've ever had. It was just going to be Potato Chip, but it was taken...so I added some dashes for extra jazz!

Aaand, that's my origin story.

Just my current handle. Had it since... shoot, 2005 maybe?

Ended up being the first handle I could reliably choose on nearly anything, without it being taken.

lessee, chowmeng was my bbs handle back in the 90's, then The Insane Gentleman, then Al Jihad till 9-11 nerfed that, then God of War, then Regnent. From a book, can't recall the name for the life of me.
