How did you pick your username?

[The Minmus Derp]

So, this thread is here to ask, how did you pick your username?

I picked mine for 2 reasons:

1. I like Minmus.

2. I can make derpy mistakes.

Thank you for posting. NO ARGUING OR I WILL REPORT YOU. just saying.

 

[GurrenLagannCWP]

Well, my forum username has 2 parts:

1. The "Gurren Lagann" part

Well as you may guess, it came from a anime with the same name.

2. The "CWP" part

It actually came from a worldbuilding project! The project's name is Collaborative Worldbuilding Project, but the menbers call it CWP for short.

[cubinator]

"Cubinator" is an accurate descriptor of my self.

[Superfluous J]

I encased the video in a spoiler because I love you all.

[qzgy]

You know xkcd? A username of four random letters? 

Yeah sorta took that idea and did that.

[Kerbinchaser]

Well I chose mine for multiple reasons. 

 

Lo is for the first two letters in my name. Var is the first part of one of my family's names, same with lach and land. So it's Lo-var-Lach-Land.

 

By the way you pronounce it Lo-var-LOCK-Land

Mine ? Well, it's a shortening from Yoursnotmine, or as I'd explain the shortening back when I was interested in coding, yoursNotMine. I was thinking to stay behind anonimity when I started to become an active member of online forums (hence "yours, not mine") ; but as time progresses, and seeing where life has taken me and where it'll probably take me further, I'm starting to question it. Though I'll stay under YNM...

 

[benzman]

Easy.  I used to own a 1985 220S Mercedes-Benz.

 

 

[ARS]

My username (and profile image) is the twin AI sisters of Fraxinus airborne base from Date A Live, they're known as Arusu sisters (ARS sisters)

On the other hand, my username can also be used for several mission department in my space program. For example:

ARS: Advanced Rocket System (Launch Vehicle Department)

ARS: All-terrain Rover and Surveyor (Rover and Land Vehicle Department)

ARS: Aircraft and Rotorcraft Supplier (Atmospheric Craft Department)

ARS: Aquatic Research and Science (Watercraft and Submarine Department)

ARS: Absurdly  Random and Surreal (Bizzare and Absurd Contraption Department)

Etc. Etc. Etc... Makes you wonder how My Kerbals navigating the R&D Department when all buildings there are named ARS

I thought it would be cool and funny if I make my space program department has uniformity (Everything named ARS), but in turn gave way for impracticality (Because everything named ARS) 

Also yes, I loved Ars Sisters

[Piatzin]

Originally it was just Earthling

Mostly because I feel like we should identify as the collective inhabitants of a unique planet.

The current username is a combination of Earth and Linger. The first word for obvious reasons, and the 'linger' for several. It doesn't make much sense outside of my head, but in my mind, I see it as a metaphor for how we impact the environment around us, thus leaving 'lingering' signs of our presence, even once we are gone.

Nowadays it's my username for almost everything, though there seem to be four other people/groups that use it as well (namely, a FB profile, a twitter account, a song group/band [I think??] and a random website)

[KerbalChamp2006]

I took my playstation name, DaChampion2006, shortened it, and added "kerbal" in the front because this is the ksp forums

[The Minmus Derp]

I loyke!

I've been reading this in my head as 'la- low- varch- Land'.

Brain fart. Except it lasted for a year.

Name: Cepholopod are clearly the best animals, and the Kraken is clearly the best cepholopod. Then there's the Kraken Kernel, which I just referenced for a joke.

The Kraken part is from the Agar.io skin, and it's been in all of my usernames for years.

I like to breed awkward things like carnivorous plants and exotic shrimps, Triops are very interesting creatures.

I always liked Andrew Hansen's YouTube channel, and KSP, so I decided my Scratch username would be HansonKerman, and this carried over to the forums, but I misspelled his last name, so my username ended up like this.

 

[The Minmus Derp]

Ah. You can change it.
