    So I was wondering about some peoples usernames on here and why they chose that username. This thread is so you can tell the reason for your username.

    I chose ER73 because E & R are the intials of my first and last name. (My first name is Ezequiel but I like Zeek better)
    73 is my football jersey number and that pretty much sums it up for me.

    So go head and post your usernames backstory.

    It's the first half of my street name back home. It was easy to remember when I picked it for other places way back in 5th grade or whenever :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I'm...actually not sure where I got this name. :lol:
    For this site, I didn't want to use my "normal" username that I use for practically everything. About time I registered for this site, I was trying to come up with a first name for a character in one of my stories, and I stumbled upon Gaetan in some list. I liked it, so I also used it here.

    Nevermind that it's the first name for the villain of my story...

    Its the name of an 80s anarcho punk band. I know a fair bit of their music, but when I signed up to ec I was using some of their album artwork from "what I did on my summer vacation" as inspiration for a massive art project. *shrugs* also I like the name. Its a good band though, if your looking for some new music.

    Don't ask me why, I hate it when people call me things other than David, so I have no idea why I chose Davo. I should've changed it when I realised there were other Davo's on this site

    "Day By Day" is one of my favorite songs from the musical 'Godspell' and it is also how I choose to live my life. ^_^

    i was on the bus and saw the word emergency, and i started to mess with the spelling of the word and put the g in front. and thus, gemerency was born

    The Beatles is one of my favourite band, if not my favourite band.
    And I love that song.
    Eleanor is also a name I really like.
    I suppose this is a combination of things that made me choose Eleanor Rigby as my screen name.

    I'm ridiculously addicted to music, so I wanted my name to show that. I was typing fast and wasn't thinking so I spelled musician wrong xD I decided to keep the wrong spelling because I'm a beginner at making music, so I consider myself to be more of a music lover than a true musician.

    Well, Jazz is my nickname. And RAWR is just a phrase I use in everyday speech.
    Hence, jazzrawr. :grin:

    It's my "legal" name plus the first 3 letters of "enlightened", which kind of describes the slow but life-changing self-discovery of my sexual orientation.

    It's my name spelled backwards. It sort of caught on as a nickname, and I had a teacher and several friends who always used it.

    Well when I participated in Amtgard (a live action roleplaying game - melee medieval combat) I would usually run around with dual swords and whenever I swung them I would hear that *zoom* sound..I liked the word but not the spelling so I fiddled with it a bit..so I've grown to love the name and decided to use it on here. :slight_smile:
