why use such? my username came about because my officemate used to call me such, a spin off of my real name. then when the internet got into fashion, i couldn't think of any good name, so it sort of stuck. hehehe

My username is my combination of life long nicknames... Mother Nature + Train Lady.... Well I am a transexual so I do not like Mother and Lady, really as my nicks.. My first name is Dana.. So D Nature Train .. Looked incomplete... DNatureofDTrain Fits my hard working self, my racey personality, and also tends to describe my interesting 6th sense connection with the railroad system. DNatureofDTrain was a name I came up with in 1995 for my WWF playstation character, then I gathered all my poetry together, and DNatureofDTrain became the name of my life long works, aspirations, and thoughts... and when I used Mother Nature in the chatrooms people kept calling me Mother... and I don't want to be a Mother.. So I tried DNatureofDTrain and every since the name I had used all over the Internet on my website, in many different networks and programs... I also published my poetry book called DNatureofDTrain ... So that is the little story behind my username - DNatureofDTrain

For me, any easily remember able user name will be more preferable. I seldom use others user name. Most of the time, I will use some user name that is more easily to remember and make my life more easily. With the help from roboform, it make my life more easily since I don't need to remember any password and user name.

nothing need to worry since we are not doing anything illegal at here. I wonder where did you come from. Normally western people will be more open minded. I believe you are Asian. Nothing need to worry. Be yourself and express yourself even when you friends know you on web. It doesn't matter but it is a chance for you to share more with your friends on web.

WEll, I just believe that I am very lucky. Because I have a very loving parents and daughters. I also have a very supportive partner who keeps on loving me. Then the witch part... its because they say I am a witch. very bewitching. lols I dont know why. So it just came out to be that way and decided to use that username.

My friend was the one who gave my username. I always joined the program in our office especially the dance program..He likes my moves and how i dance so he gave me this name. And from then on, I am always using this name and it's nice to have a different name, right?

Well my name is Abhay in real but AJ sounded a lot cool so I used it as my nickname.I thought of using something different after it but can't think of any word other than "Rocks".Being a Nickname of quite a lot persons,I changed it to "Rox" and thus named myself as AJ Rox.I don't know the expansion of AJ but yeah,he was a band member of one of my favourite singer's band,so I love it.Doesn't this name sound Cool-AJ.The 1810 aftermy username is my birthdate which I just added in case my username was not available.

my user name is a combination of my full name = first letter from my first name, my middle initial, and my surname. I prefer to be like that because it is to remember...

invictus is a nice poem from w. henley (i think). it is about one being the master of his own fate and the captain of his own soul. i really like how the author portrayed the "invincibility" of the character. in any online community that i join, i usually check if this is available before choosing other names.
