Username Derivations

I like me some Keira Knightley. And one day, she will be mine. And that is all.

Um, if you two got married, wouldn't she take your last name?

Anyway. Let me say first off that my username DOES NOT derive from Xena the Warrior Princess. I mean, I like her and everything but actually I just used it because it kind of fits me. I'm very much a girl and I love princess stuff, but then I have a pretty fiery personality and am not afraid to fight for what I believe in. So yeah, that is why I am Stephanie the Warrior Princess.

Oh, so you think that you are more of a warrior princess than Xena.

also, I did look it up beforehand, and I liked the implications.

I just... like cows? xD

Actually, I farm and own my own livestock, and I swear it was the proudest moment of my life when I got my first calf. xD

*Is not a sad act, at all*

Well, I decided on lilymoore a long time before YWS. I was already writing and I knew I wanted a pseudonym (Anne Rice had one so I needed one. Though that fact seemed silly). Plus, there's a poet with the same name as my real name so I decided to think of a prettier one. And now more recently, my reasoning for having a pseudonym is even more enforced by the fact that, as many of the chat people know, I'm forced to share my last name with a pretentious Canadian pop-star. So I decided I'd opt for the last name Moore (it looks pretty when I write it) and Lily because it's pretty.

Not...Beiber. :O

Nope. Actually you spell it Bieber...i before e.

When I joined an online forum many years ago (has it been seven already?) I was looking for something that had to do with pink (I was far more obsessed with that colour than I am now) and some sort of mythology connotation. It was a toss between the favourite animal at the time (snow leopard) and a constant favourite, unicorns. Rosey was chosen because it sounded nicer than "Pink Unicorn" and has the side benefit of connecting to roses. Which are both soft and thorny.

Guess. . Of course, it *is* spelled wrong. But it's stuck now, so I can't change it.

And three weeks later I answer... hehe. Yes indeed it is. I'm quite in love with that movie.


It's really interesting to hear how everyone chose their name.

When I joined back in '07 I was Mantis. This had something to do with me being obsessed with bugs as a young lad. Then there was one of those name change thingies, so I became Sir Mantis for a bit. Now I'm Manny. Funny thing is that I use the same username for all my accounts except YWS. :/
