I'm often interested why people have chosen the name they post under

Mine was because I thought diet=rabbit food (yeah I was wrong) and rabbit means talking a lot (yeah I do)

you?

    I chose mine 9 years ago and have stuck with it for everything. Demora = a race from my favourite game (they're actually called Dremora but when I signed up to something with it for the first time I typed it wrong so stuck with it). Fairy because I had a fairy obsession at the time. Also partially went with this because it was the first username I tried that wasn't already taken.

    I've had several usernames. This one was somewhat based on my favorite haiku by Megan McCafferty:

    Furious flutter
    Awakened hummingbird heart
    Hello, hello love

    Thus furioushummingbird was born.

    Miss Baby Jane was a nick name that Christina Aguilera used to go by. She is my favourite singer, very inspiring person.

    (I rather like the "Ilikecockatiels" poster name, it abridges perfectly in the last poster list)

    Mine isn't hard to guess, as long as one knows the definition of "atypical" and doesn't read it as "a typical".

    I had a username which in my language and culture has strong connotations of fatness and laziness, had been using it on forums for years and suddenly realized how self-defeating that was. MFP allows you one change of username and I decided to do it, but everything I typed seemed silly and rang false. I thought, what is one true thing I know of myself? And typed this spontaneously, thought "no way am I going to self proclaim I approach life feeling wise and curious" and at the same time when I meant to hit cancel, hit enter. I feel better with it :)

    I've used "Phrick" for YEARS, starting at a parenting site where I wanted to see how far I could push the limits before getting banned. Phrick was acceptable but P.Hucker got me banned LOL

    Mine is because of being tall and called an amazon several times in my life lol...not in a bad way and it was actually when I was thin and very fit/kind of athletic. The mean kids actually called me jolly green giant when I was growing up. Where I lived, there weren't other tall girls/women and I was the tallest (of girls and boys and most the adults) in my entire school/all grades for a long time. Mayan is just because I needed something to tack onto the end of my username.

    My goal is to get back to the amazon look lol.
