    Mine is because I'm a science geek and physics graduate. Also I'm training to do radiography which uses radiation in image acquisition of anatomy.

    And the bi bit is pretty obvious.

    Happy days :slight_smile:

    You'll see in my profile the region I come from and I'm kind of proud of my roots. My family has lived in this part of the UK for generations. My user name is slightly abbreviated and the avatar is the county flag.

    Velvet represents my "soft side" and blade represents my past self-harming habits (I'm self-harm free for nearly 3 years!)

    It's actually Lincolnshire. :slight_smile:

    I wasn't sure how specific I could be about my location when I first joined EC, so I put the wider region down, but I think I'm okay to narrow it now as some people are even more specific.

    As far as I know, every county in England has a flag.

    Good for you! :slight_smile:

    Lol mine wasn't that well thought out. I read that it had to be a username that I don't use anywhere else and it was like :***:.

    WinterSwimmer was basically because I had just watched Captain America The Winter Soldier and so I replaced soldier with swimmer since I swim. I should have probably put more effort into it.

    Your reason to choose that user name is fine Swimmer :lol:

    I chose mine because a couple of classmates place that nickname on me. The name is from a japanese theater and since I like all of that I went with it.

    Mine is the Latin 'Carpe Diem' meaning seize the day, transformed to the opposite: 'Carpe Noctem', meaning seize the night, since I'm a night owl and mostly productive on night hours.

    It's completely different than my usual. Also, using my uptight, Brady Bunch father's middle name at a site that's so very gay friendly would send his wife into a full cardiac episode.

    All usernames I use could trace me back to other websites and I couldn't think of something new, so I figured "why not use my actual name instead?".
