What is the story behind your username?

[SkyKidShyKid]

Share why you are called what you are called!


Here's the evolution of my username:

I originally went by Skylandersackgirl. It was me combining my two childhood special interests, Skylanders and LittleBigPlanet. The sackgirl part aged poorly, I'm trans now haha.

People often called me Sky for short, so that became my accepted nickname online.

In 2019, I had an itching to change my username to something else. At the time I was fixated on both Professor Layton and A Hat In Time. I thought that maybe I should change it to "ProfessorHatKid", but I wanted to keep the Sky nickname, I thought of "ProfessorSkyKid" and it just kinda stuck. Then in 2020, it became SkyKidIsAwesome, and in 2022 I changed it to just SkyKid.

There was one issue though, SkyKid unfortunately tends to be taken on a lot of sites, so in 2023 I came up with using SkyKidShyKid whenever it was taken, cos it rhymes and i am indeed very shy irl.

anyways yeah thats my story, what is yours?

[mikom1ne]

i had way too many usernames, none of them i liked tbf
mikom1ne was the last one i actually liked as i keep using this one
mikom1ne is a mix between 2 other usernames being mikoyako and sismine so i mixed them up and added a 1 on mine to keep it more cooler ig

miko came from mikami_ (don't ask how) and yako was an old oc of mine in which i mixed it up on the other one

sismine was a ref to bromine. the name is also a parody of femtanyl in a way cuz idk i like femtanyl :P

[rnottelovesowls]

”RNotte” is my artist alias. “R” for the first letter in my real name, and “notte” for the italian word for “night”. and also i love owls hehe

[venula]

i go by both "venula" and "sunner."

i've watched siivagunner for like 7 years now. and i used to have a little fan channel "walvasunner", so that's where the sunner part came from.

as for venula, it came from an anagram of the same fan channel name called "venulawarns" and i thought it was kinda badass.

i used to go by several other usernames in the past so it's hard for me to keep track of them really. but those are the main ones.
one of them being "TheLOLguy8034"????

[lakes]

my username was originally lovelylakes because of the monty python skit but i shortened it to just lakes

[Patachoo]

My username is from a not funny word game with "Pâte à choux" in french (choux pastry) LMAO

Btw everyone's usernames origins are really interesting

[tmg86]

Originally I had a different username back in 2017, but that account got hacked, and I had to replace it. I came up with the (corny) username "ThatMacGuy" in 2019. It was also taken on some platforms, so i had to add variations to it. I shortened it to just "TMG" in 2020, and made it lowercase "tmg" in 2021.

I had a really cool discord handle, "TMG#8884" but i could not acquire plain "tmg" during discords username switch because short usernames became valuable on discord. So much so that people made accounts to grab those usernames and sell them. Technically, they are an NFT or something. (my username is not for sale, sorry for rant ) So, to get around that, I appended "86" to my username because my laptop was x86_64.

Now you can find me as "tmg86" on all platforms.

[Daniele63]

It's my real name and a random number I thought looked cool. My username used to be "Dwarf" a few years ago because I liked Gimli from LOTR.

Dude, I remember the discord username changes and how people were selling off usernames. It was crazy. I refuse to spend any money on discord, so I think I just changed my @ to some random meme/joke.

[clementinutile]

My username used to be "Clément l'inutile" (In french, Clément (my name) the useless) a long time ago, idk why I thought it was a good idea for a username I was very young lmao when I went to twitter I shortened it to clementinutile for the @ and it just stayed and became the actual username
