^ Simple question ^

Why is your username your username? xD

Also! Just for fun. What are other silly username you've had?

--

GeeLyria's story is pretty simple. My name is Sol Valeria. Google translator pronounces my second name as Vah-lee-ree-uh, so I thought Lyria was a nice username. But I also found it kind of boring, so I added Gee, because Sol = G (Gee) in music note. :)

My first username was 1) Solvaly 'cause that's how my mum calls me, but people thought I was a boy.
Then I changed it to 2) DungeonPrincess because I was obsessed with Sherwood Dungeon!... But then I thought I was too old to be a princess. xD
After that, I started practicing Taekwondo, and I was 3) TKDgirl, but that username was always taken by other people. >.>
And then I was 4) Solvalery, but that's practically my name.

FermentingFruit, it's an inside joke. One of my friends had left an apple in his backpack for too long, and it.. well... it decomposed. One of my friends said "Are you making beer in there or what? It smells like..." You guessed it. FermentingFruit. I thought it sounded cool and it took it. I've fluctuated between so many different usernames before I don't feel like trying to name them all lol.
Save time... see it my way.

Ah, mine came from a close friend of mine who would always call me SoulKatana as a joke between my two favorite multiplayer game classes I prefer. We enjoyed the laugh and I decided to have my name similar xD

My username, undertheshadow, is just what I want to be. No one knows I write. No one on this site knows who I am. I like to keep it that way for now. Until I write something worth something.. This is an experimental site, so I can get anonymous feedback while being anonymous myself. :)
in my own way.

Lylas^^ I first heard this around my school last year and it means "Love You Like A Sister." And then X Factor Fith Harmony's first name was "Lylas", but they changed it. I just really like it and I say it all the time:D

I used to make Lyrics videos when I was younger. So I made "Lyric Induced Productions" and labeled all of my YouTube videos with that.

When I was a bit older I used Lyric Induced on forums and Xbox Live.

A couple of years ago or so I decided I needed a better name, and I came up with Lyricalias, which is actually Lyric + Alias.

There ya have it.

My username has a few different meanings for me.

Shadow-- I've always preferred staying up all night and sleeping until late in the day. I also love the nightlife (things that are up and about in the dark are *so* much more interesting than things that come out where you can see them).

Besides, my mom often complains about my tendencies to keep thick blankets over my windows to block out the light (if light comes in my room, I'm awake, regardless of the time of day). She calls my room a 'cave'.

Also, the final explanation of 'shadow', is that I intend to work at the very bottom of the ocean where light doesn't penetrate (see above-- the interesting creatures don't come out where you can see them).

Vyper-- I love snakes. When I could barely walk I went to something-or-other and got to touch a snake. Since then I've had an interest in them. It's a hobby of mine to catch and then scare people with snakes.

And, coincidentally, there's a cool type of fish that lives in the bottom of the ocean called a viperfish. They're very interesting.

I just changed the 'i' to a 'y' to make it more interesting. ShadowViper looks weird; and having it as ShadowVyper allows me to pretend that I've created a new species of animal. Vypers. 8)

originally, I was pointe2drama, because it represented two parts of my life, ballet and theater. Eventually though, I outgrew it, and that 2 started to annoy me, so I changed it to DramaLlama. The reason I changed it to DramaLlama was because there used to be a user on her, SisterItaly, that called me DramaLlama, and I loved it so much that I changed it. Now, I'm SparkOfDoubt, which I changed DramaLlama too during a sad time in my life, where I was doubting everything.

And that's the story ;)

Because.

I sometimes go as Murtle. I don't even remember how I came up with Murtle except that it rhymes with turtle and sounds cute, and I felt like pranking people.

I made off with a Pokepost, too.

You can also find me elsewhere as Lavernne and Addleton. The latter should be self-explanatory. The former involves obscure irony.

In all honesty, I got tired of Kyte. It came from the video-game hero Kite, which is boring and unoriginal. Who knows; maybe one day I'll switch to my Elder Scrolls name, Tigersong, over here. Avari Tigersong is my own character and has a rather interesting history.

But yeah. I wanted a change and Stori is what I came up with.

When I joined YWS, I was going through one of my "Cats the musical is amazing and I must watch it all the time and listen to the music" phases and my favourite character in it is called Demeter. It really has nothing to do with the goddess. :P

Because, one day, I said, "Let there be an email that I shall create without using a number!"

The result of that was 'ahmad-blues'. That was my username till I asked the lovely Pengu to get rid of the first bit and Blues was the result. :P
