How and Why I made my username Edition.
You see my real name is Ed. I was lucky enough to snipe 'Edition'. (seeing no one wants it)
And there you go "Ed'ition basically. :)


What about you guys? What's your story of why you have the current username?
I love to hear the reason why. Because usernames are so much cooler than having to use your real name. (That's for FB :P.)

My real name is Aurélie but everybody calls me Lily.
My boyfriend, however, likes to give me many pet names. Amongst them, there is Liloute (pronunced Lil- oo- t).

Quite a boring story, I know, but I like it, as it sounds cute. :)

Because this name was granted to me over a decade ago when I was a kid. Too long a story.

Btw, there's a couple people on the internet who knew me on other communities from over 5-7 years ago, such as gaming circles like Warcraft 3 and DOTA that go around posing in my name on purpose =/. I made a lot of enemies back then =d. But I'm the one and only Bloodcalibur.

A long time a go I wrote a little story about two samurai for English. I still have it on my pc, so here it is:



The story had to be less than 150 words. I wrote it in twenty minutes. So yeah, I thook my name from the main character in my "story", Hiroshimanagasaki Nintendosoni. I was pretty tired when I wrote that, it was nearly midnight lol. Stupid assignments.
I see dead people.

Traed came out of a username i used on another anime forum i frequented regularly. I made this account around the same time so it has the same username. Traed is pronounced Trade. I just like the ae combination of letters. Trade has to do with trademark which is a copyright and represents originality. My name also is Mark which again ties in with the trademark. I wanted a username short, rarely used and easy to remember so thats what i came out with. It honestly took me a few hours to come up with.

I hope that long story has more to do with nicknames and games and sports than it does something like a gang.

This username is the one I use for everything.
I created at age 11 (as you can see by the 11). And my first account that I created this account for was 'runescape'

god I don't play it anymore XD I only got to lvl 26 and never played again.

Oh! and the 'alex' on waalex, is my name.

No, not games or sports. Other activities.

And having grown up in the East Flatbush area of Brooklyn, New York, I hate gangs.

Originally I was going to use the username "Kumamii" named after Kuma from Persona 4, but with the added "Mii" as I wanted to add a little more to it.

But just before I was going to use that, I decided to play around a little with it and so came "Kuramii".

Kuramii sounds better anyway. The two "m"-based syllables on "Kumamii" don't flow as good.

Not badass enough to not die last year.

It's my nickname. Since primary school, there has always been heaps of people who shared the same first name with me. So to tell us all apart I got called by my last name, which for some reason no one could pronounce properly. Eventually people noticed how close my last name was to samurai and started calling me that. It's just a weird coincidence that I happen to like anything related to samurais. Oh and the _ is only because someone already took samurai.

NEETs (No Employment Education Training) are the least desirable people anybody would want to hire and yet they are the first choice to become moderators/admins around the internet. They have yet to have established a sense of responsibility or role in society and many are plain leeches (with minor exceptions). They are given "authority" to police sections of the internet with the powers of The Judge, Jury, and Executioner. Isn't that weird?

I like rhubarb. Rhubarb pie, for example.. When I was little, my mother grew rhubarb in the little garden outside our house, and I used to help pick them all the time.

I also like an ambient song by Aphex Twin called Rhubarb.
