Why did you pick your username and what does it mean?
« on: April 26, 2016, 01:32:27 AM »
Why did you pick your username? I'm very curious because some people usernames are very confusing to figure out on your own. XD

I picked PixelyPixel on my minecraft untill people stole it ;-; .I thought of YourUnknownHost because i was watching clue at the time and after a couple days of thinking about it it stuck to me.

It all started with this guy:




I was such a fan of Mick Thomson, that I bought his signature Ibanez, which has his number (SEVEN) in the inlays. I still own and love this guitar, even after all of these years.Up until this point, I had been using my gamer tag on all forums, whether or not the forum had anything to do with gaming. After this, I started going by some variation of Seven; Seven on smaller forums, otherwise Se7en or Sieben.At a similar time, I needed a respectable email address that was memorable but unique, so I went for "The Montgomery Incident". I thought that it sounded super cool (and I honestly still think so).To maintain a consistent identity online, I then started using MontgomerySeven everywhere. This later morphed into "Sev Montgomery".Deciding that Sev had to be short for something, I drew Inspiration from the Roman Severan Dynasty (hence "Severus"). Continuing with the theme of historical figures, I added the middle name "Alexander", and simply adopted Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery for the last part.Hence: Severus Alexander Montgomery. Some of you may also have noticed that my 'sona has an M7 on his racing leathers. That was a play on Montgomery Seven and the N7 program from Mass Effect. You can see it has the same styling.



It's all pretty convoluted, but I'm fond of how it all turned out.

Mine's a mix. Proto is short for prototype because he's the first of his kind. And Triose is Kaalin's last name; Kaalin is a very wise, empathic, and caring individual that left his people to set out on his own and follow a dream he had. He's more than capable in a fight, though he prefers it not come to that. I just thought it was fitting. -^.^-

Ulvus is a mix between the Latin word for wolf (lupus) and the Danish word for wolf (ulv). Lumia is just Latin for Lime XP

Rocco just popped into my head one night as I was trying to get to sleep.

My other fursona, Kyr'am, has a little back story. In a wolf RP, I chose it for the character. I kind of knew I needed a second fursona, and Kyr'am popped into my mind. Kyr'am is Mandalorian for death. I wonder what he is like...

I am not the most creative person ever. I like wolves and I am studying to become an attorney.

I use D_Rainbow12346 for nearly everything because I like rainbows. And the numbers don't have any meaning, they're there to make it more unique so I can use the name.

My username is pretty obvious:
Mu is the Greek letter M
Alpha is the Greek letter A
And Chi is the Greek letter C though the symbol for it is the X in maths (forward c and backward c) I chose to use that as the Greek letter for X is Xi and that didn't sound as cool
Basically when written out in the symbols my username spells Max which is my name.

It's from an anime called Wolf's rain.
I first used it on a forum I used to hang on when I was ~12-13, and it kinda stuck.
I didn't really have any specific reason for picking it, I just happened to have a creepy guy net-stalking me and wanted to try and shake him off by creating a new "internet identity" and start over from scratch. I also happened to be mildly obsessed with that anime at the time so it just kinda happened.
Since it's not an original creation it's sometimes not available tho, and then I go by Chezana instead, like for example on FA.
And that's just Cheza with the last two letters of my real name added.
Yup, I'm soooooo creative.

I used it for profiles for a few years, I can't remember.  I just like jellyfish and I guess the name must have been taken to spell it weird. XD
