Hello, mylotters. Everybody mylotter has a username, and the username is unique to them, but I've been wondering something ever since a long time ago. A few of them have cool usernames, and I understand that I, mlotta, am a user of mylot. Hmmmm. This intrigues me a little bit. I chose mlotta as my username because it combines the first letter of the word mylot, the last 3 letters of the word mylot, an extra t and an a because i wanted to make my username unique to me. So, heres the question about the science behind the username. How did you choose your username on mylot? Why did you choose it, and where did your username come from? Have a nice day.

vijay in our language means success.The number 12,also,has,for me personally,a connection with/to success.Hence my choice is based on psychology of self.

hi! first of all, when i read your name, the first thought was "mylotter" in a cooler manner :) anyway, my name isn't really that unique since it is a regular word in the vocabulary, but it actually has a somewhat personal meaning for me. there are several reasons why i use this username (here and other sites). first, it talks about my personality. i can really say i'm a weirdo. i like two totally opposite things and so is my personality (ex: a lazy workaholic-crazy in work but there are also times when i'm very lazy). i'm not into things that are trendy, 'im not comfortable having any attention towards me in a group, i don't like big parties, and i like weird stuff. and i've heard my friends (even my sisters) say that i am weird. as a matter of fact, my boyfriend thinks so too. lol. he calls me by the name of weirdo. so that's another reason. another is the fact that i believe that we are all created uniquely and i am proud of that. even if people think i'm weird, i don't take it as a negative thing. cause i know i was made this way for a purpose. so i also use the nickname Christ's weirdo. cause i know that i was set apart for a purpose. :) (you'll probably even find this as something weird, lol). as for the number 55, my favorite number is 5. and my boyfriend and i celebrate our anniversary every 5th of may.. thus, 05.05 = 55.. ^__^ so although this name is so ordinary, it's very sentimental for me. :)

I've encountered this question a few years ago when I was just starting here in mylot. My username YELLOWHIPON is a combination of my favorite color and my favorite food, hipon or shrimp in English. I chose shrimp coz it an irony. Its my favorite food but at the same time I'm allergic with it.

My username came from the yesteryear period of a celtic culture. There was a ruler who was handsome and was always surrounded by women. I think that i'm him so i chose this username.

Well my username is Chatelaine09.I chose it because it was a china pattern I wanted to buy at the time I joined mylot.It also means lady of the castle or something in the medieval period.I'd like to think someday I'll own my own castle um house instead of living the way I do.One can always dream right?

Hmm..mine is simple. A star shines so bright but it blinks. It does not shine steadily. And I love the song "Starlight, Starbright". It's actually taken from there. ^_^

'Cargoleta' means 'little female snail' in Catalan, my native language. Some friends call me like that in real life, actually, and I chose to have it as my username because well, snails are my favourite animals and I sorta identify with them... doing things in their own pace and taking it easy :)
