    Wanted a username that would kick me into believing what I was doing here on MFP. It means "no longer fat" in Swiss-german, which is my mother tongue.

    Mine is my nickname (which I got from my "ranger buddy" when playing volleyball in the Army) and the year I graduated high school.

    i have used this user name regularly for the last 17 years or so. it comes from 17ish year old me not knowing how to spell isis and the internet not being as fancy as it is these days with its spell check and "did you mean" features.

    How did you come up with your username. I have seen some pretty interesting ones here and really wonder where they came from.

    I'm Farsteve, Steve is my first name and far is three letters from my last name. I have also gone by SteveO a few times and I've used my favorite pet's name a few places.

    Kinda dull I know but it works.

    My brother is also a Steve, and he usually goes by The Stevinator.

    My own name is what the hubs calls me (I am The Cuter, according to him), with bee added (I guess I was channeling Romper Room, with the Dobees and Don'tbees and now the Cuterbee).

    I just put it into a character randomizer and this is what it spit out.

    My user name is my Dungeon and Dragons character. Through different campaigns and restarts...thats the name I've been using since '94 and my best friends call me Edge rather than by my real name.

    Mix of old usernames I've used in the past and my art company name with birth year. Which is cut off when on the threads unless you look at my profile. XD

    I think it's pretty obvious.

    Becky Boop...a nickname from a few friends and family members. Though I have only ever owned two Betty Boop items in my life. Oh, and 712 is my birthday.

    It's in my profile but I'll post here too. The first car I owned and restored was a 64' Acadian Invader. 9 times out of 10 when I try to use Acadian as my username it's taken. So when it is I'll use Akdn (A K D N = Acadian) :happy: :happy:

    I have been TheDarlingOne since I was 15 years old - almost 16 years now (MY GOD! lol)

    Back then, they had online wrestling websites, called "e-feds"....where you'd go and type out long drawn out roleplays, or basically like what you'd see a segment on professional wrestling just everything spelled out:

    >>>TheDarlingOne walks into the room. All eyes turn to her as she beams in a stunning red gown<<<
    TheDarlingOne Torrie Wilson: "Hello everyone. Please, let's get this over with."
    >>>TheDarlingOne walks over to the press conference table and takes her place beside the other wrestlers<<<

    etc lol

    My character was "TheDarlingOne" Torrie Wilson - I basically acted like Torrie Wilson (real wrestler/person) - but with my own twist.

    *shrugs* just something a 15 year old nerd did to waste time lol.
