    On the Internet, the first impression you give comes from your username, so usually you can tell a lot about a person based on this little persona they have adopted for this virtual world. Some usernames are fairly easy to figure out, while others are a bit more symbolic. So tell me, what does your username mean?

    It's my first name. Not very original to use as a username but I couldn't think of something better.

    In accordance to my oh-so-imaginative personality, I named myself after my country and a number easy to remember.

    It's also a bit of irony about myself; I'm notably un-Australian. I sound perfectly English, identify largely as Swedish-Finnish, and have a very European mindset, rather than the Australian cultural expectation.

    What else could my username mean? It's the name of an immensely powerfull bio weapon. And it mistakes itself for a cold, mean, sociopathic scientist named Alex Mercer. The reason I chose it is because it's my fav character. And has slight resemblence to my own personality

    'Siarad' is Welsh for 'speak' - I've been learning Welsh and falling in love with the language and I think that, given the context of this forum, siarad is an appropriate sentiment!

    questionable, when I made this account and when I found this website it was those days when I was starting to question my sexuality and became aware that I was gay. So that's about it. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Well, i said it in another post but, i was looking for a name in a art site, then de "art" name came to my mind... And somehow "arcchi" have the same sound of "art" (unless in my language).
    So... Arcchi means Art

    I didn't want to use my real name (For the moment at least) so I made a fake one out of names I liked.

    Most people just assume my name is Tim because well, that's my username.

    What people don't know is that it's really just an acronym for it's true name. The Incredible Machine. Meant to be a reference to an obscure computer game from the 90's, that was always so fun watching my dad play.

    ...just kidding. My name is Tim, thus, username is Tim. Though, my dad really did play The Incredible Machine and I'd watch him. It took me years to figure out TIM on his desktop wasn't something referring to me though. xD

    biggayguy should be obvious. I was biguy50 but transitioned from being bisexual to gay.

    Absolutely nothing specific. I couldn't choose a username, so I used a generator of some sort and it combined Cheese and Goose, so yeah. Now though, I'd probably use something like Kris578, since it's something I've been using for a bit on other sites now. Kris is a shortened version of my name, Kristofer, to be precise and the numbers mean nothing. They're just numbers :U I would like to like 578 years tho. Wouldn't mind that one bit :V
