    Everyone chose their username for a reason, so what's yours?

    I got "lyonhaart" from one of the best songs ever (yes I know I'm biased), King and Lionheart by Of Monsters And Men. It was probably the most emotional song I have ever listened to, and is definitely my most listened to song. Lionheart means courageous, and while I don't have a great amount of courage, I'm not afraid to speak out against people. The lyrics just stuck with me and the name sounds pretty appealing to me. :astonished:

    I like Knuckles! He's red, got dreads, has spiked gloves, flies around .. he clearly doesn't play by the rules.

    For me, I'm a writer and I had a character that I really liked who was of Italian origins. His username in an mmorpg was Caduit Motte, which means Fallen Death, since his mmo character was of a fallen angel race.

    I just really liked that him so I decided to use the username after I retired that character.

    I play guitar and music (especially guitar-driven music) is a huge part of my life.

    I couldn't figure out what username I wanted when I signed up since I seem to be a really indecisive person, so I went through dozens before I signed up.

    I went with H20 because I like things that are deep and meaningful, and H20 is vital to living. Plus it constantly reminds me to keep drinking a lot of water as I have gotten out of a nasty habit of drinking too much soda. On a fun note though: I love the ocean too. So, ya know - H20

    I'm unoriginal and went with one of the first usernames I've used about ten years ago.

    Ok, previous poster, I love your name so much.

    I chose my name because it's the name I used to use for most things, but I've switched over to another name recently for most things, so I'm using this name now. It's my nickname (that I rarely let people call me now), and the numbers of my birthday without the 0's.

    I'm a passing ahakespeare fan/nerd/otaku, so i took one of the lines from othello as my username. It's one of my favourites actually. I was originally gonna put it as, "outvilejelly" but apparently, that was already taken...

    It's also my signature. What it basicslly means is Iago telling Brabantio that Othello and Desdemona ran away, and are having sex. I just love the way how Iago phrases it "making the beast with two backs" and it just shows shakespeares genius to me, so i put it as my username. I take it's a very unusual username... But I love it.

    I had a friend in real life who does too! She's literally otaku for them.

    I'm a writer and an artist, so naturally I create a lot of characters. One of them was Aqulia, and I'm pretty fond of 'em so I thought, why not? It's a nice name.
