So, I've always wondered how people came up with their user names '^-^.

I'll go first!
So, The name is originally 'Alistair' which means 'Hero' in Greek.
My favorite videogame is 'Kingdom Hearts' and the main villains all have an 'x' in their name, So I replaced the 's' with an 'x'.

That's kinda lame but I like it ^-^.

Who wants to go next?

Rain to a connection to storms and rain. Stars because I love them and tend to watch them when I can. Dragon is rather self explanatory after getting to know me.

I no longer use this name magically, but it's the one I'm most widely known by, so I tend to use it online. *shrugs* friends call me Ame or Hana.

The as in the. Tanuki....well for the youkai, I guess I resemble the fat little things. Kaji is Japanese for a smith...like a black smith

My username is the combination of my real name and my best friend's nickname.

O-o ok so....i got mine from watching Fullmetal Alchemist a lot. <.< that's where the alchemist part came from. >.> the Youkai came from the original Youkaimura site :3 then the 2 was because i wasn't sure if there was someone else with the same name on here. :3 so i became YA2

Yamazaki is the surname of my Japanese name/nickname. It was my surname in a previous life, which I'm still very attached to. I was a doctor, so it was necessary for me to have a surname back then ^^; (I came from a village in a mountainous region).

Aka=red in japanese, my favorite colour, and the one most associated with me by my friends. Shi= death/four in japanese. Goth thing from when I was thinking of craft names in 7th grade. Also I had 4 swords I used often at that time. El= of god according to my studies of angels and my religion teacher in school. Often at the end of an angels name. Akashiel= Red death of god, archangel of something suitably frightening

Sessinu was the last user name I used on the last Youkaimura forums. It represents what I was in my former life as a Youkai, and it was one of the titles I was given by the Humans that knew me. Sidi is composite name I created to represent the new balance I have found in my self and is taken from one of my favorite story series.... it is a combination of the names of opposing orders that have clashed for millennia, the Sith and the Jedi. I just took two letters form each each and combined them together in the best sounding way.

Mine's actually related to youkai, in a way.
A while ago I had wanted a new username for websites, and I wanted something involving youkai. I've read somewhere that youkai are often associated with the direction northeast and the element fire, so I decided to combine these into NorthEastFire.
I'm not sure if that information's completely accurate, but either way, I still like it as a username, and most people don't guess the origins of it on other websites.

Mine's more of a pen name I wanted to use. It's nothing special but I think would sound better than my using my usual usernames which probably didn't make any sense.
