Why are you... you?, Just curious. Options

[Happy_Dingo]

I was just wondering why some of you guys chose the user-name's you have now. No particular reason why, I just wanted to know. The reason why I chose "Happy_Dingo is because I randomly chose an animal of the top of my head and stuck the word "Happy" in front of it because I thought it would sound funny/ weird. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalatounge.gif) So yeah, why are you you?

[BunnyChan360]

It's always so much fun to get a peek at other user's thought process.

As for mine... It's a long story, but here goes.

My username on Neopets was bunny_rabbot_360. It was the easiest bunny_rabbot username that wasn't used. Bunny Rabbot was my favorite Sonic character. One of my nicknames was BunnyChan since I was really into anime and manga.

For the uninitiated, "chan" is a Japanese honorific. Honorific are similar to titles, like "Mr", "Mrs", "Dr", etc. "Sensei" is the most well known honorific to the Western world (it can also be a word bey itself). The standard honorific is "-san" which is "Mr/Mrs/Ms". "-chan" is usually used for young children, girls, and cute things.

Basically, I was a girl and considered somewhat cute, so I was called "Bunnychan" by my friends. I really liked it, so I used it for about every site after that. It's almost automatic for me to use BunnyChan360 as my alias.

@Noviwan I had a feeling that was the case with yours.

@Ichigo Ichigo is a pretty cute name and I also like strawberries a lot (I just bought some today even).

@Twi Your name origin was actually pretty interesting. (I actually thought it had to do with Twilight, the book. No offense.) A wandering mind is not always a bad thing.

@EB Evil Fairy Queen? ... Do I really want to know....

@HMR You know "Harvest Moon Raccoon" really does roll off the tongue.... That's a good thing btw.

I think I'll watch this thread for a while... I might even give you the origin of my brother Axl's name.
