Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I was crusing around the chatterbox last night for a bit looking for a new and interesting thread to make my new chat home when I came across one asking people why they chose the username they had. And it got me thinking...why do we choose the names we have for our username?

I guess with some of the names some people are trying to look tough, or smarty...or in the cases of some of the more obscene names are they trying to be funny?

My original username I chose as she was a fave character of mine that I used to RP under many years ago so it just seemed natural to me to use it at the time. Now that the years have passed and I have been away from Gaia for the 2 and a bit years that name just wasn't me anymore and I decided to Change it. How did I decide on Fairy Celeste... well that is thanks to the genius idea of my friend... she and I put different names I liked into a container along with names of things I like e.g Fairy, Rose, Butterfly. Then with a mix I put my hand in and pulled out two pieces of paper... Celeste and Fairy... hence my new name now. I am also counting myself lucky as at the time my friend had had quiet a bit of vodka and rasberry and threw in a few extra names of things as well... I am thankful I didn't end up being a Charleen Litterbox or a Cathy CatFoodTin!! eek

So now I put it to you who happens to be reading my journal...(if anyone) What made you choose the Username you are using??
