The story behind your user name

Nattfall · #1 (**permalink**) 07-13-2008, 05:39 PM

Looking at the members list, I notice that there sure are a lot of creative user names among you guys. So what's the story behind yours? Why did you choose it?
My user name, Nattfall, consists of two Norwegians words; "natt" (meaning "night") and "fall" (meaning, well, "fall"). Literally it therefore means "nightfall". However, the expression nightfall is not used in Norwegian, so it's rather meaningless... However, if you look at Icelandic, náttfall, written with an apostrophe above the a, means "dew" (as in "fall from the night"), and since I'm a sucker for anything Icelandic, and it somewhat means something in Norwegian as well, in addition to being a rather beautiful word in general (at least in my own opinion

), I chose it!

that sounds so nice

my nickname comes from my chinese friend jessie calling me BonBon because i got really addicted to the strawberry kind when we went on holiday to the lake district, and i called her fudgie because she loved fudge. the barbie part comes from my tall slim blonde-ness lol.

My usename is actually a nick name someone gave me. I had a friend who called me "michita" like mih-she-ta.

The k part is the first initial in my last name.

I used to only use the 'michita' part, but then I joined some website where they required 8 letters, so I added the k at the end.

I thought so, as well, and I was all ready to bust out my OMGZ SUPA MOD SKILLZ ... But then I could only find the 'Your Real Name' and 'Your Middle Name' threads ... So I guess it doesn't matter! XD;

Anyways, my username is simply my real first name and my real last name --- I use this combination for everything I sign up with online, and my website is named after ... Myself ... As well. o_O;

Having everything the same can be great for consistency and simplicty reasons ... But it sucks in some ways.

For example, everyone can find all of my online accounts instantly via Google --- All they need to type in is 'mallorymaloney', and bam. -_-; Mallory-O-Matic.

However, I don't personally believe in trying to remain anonymous on the Interwebz, so it doesn't bother me that much. xD;

Cailey · #10 (**permalink**) 07-14-2008, 02:03 PM

my name is cailey. i'm not original. blaaaaah. i pretty much use it as a username for everything.

demoipourvous · #11 (**permalink**) 07-14-2008, 04:23 PM

Mine is just French for "From me, to you" or was it "From me, for you"...whatever the case I just used a translator so excuse me if I mangled the French language here. I just liked the sound of it since whatever I post on the internet, whether it be pictures, text or whatever it's coming from me to whoever's seeing it.

diadori · #12 (**permalink**) 07-14-2008, 07:42 PM

@^it's "from me, for you". lol, just so now you know. i'm just proud of my french skills.

SafetyPin · #13 (**permalink**) 07-14-2008, 09:31 PM

Well...waaaaay back when I joined my first forum Safety Pin was the only thing that came to mind... plus I had a fascination with them at that moment... and it just stuck with everything else...

xivorymoonx · #14 (**permalink**) 07-14-2008, 09:40 PM

nightfall is a book!
(a fantasy book..i kind of enjoyed it! :])

my name comes from mythology since i'm really big into that...

anyhow...

it's basically the name of three guardian goddesses.

Bisuke (pronounced Bis-kay) is the name of a character from the anime HunterxHunter. Bisuke is one of my favorite characters. Basically, she is this person who appears to be a really cute little girl, dressed up in a frilly red dress, but she's ridiculously strong and fast and a great fighter. She's also a
