How did you come up with your user name?

January 3, 2007 10:43am CST
Mine is from a nickname my Grandmother gave me. She often said, I had a smile that was as warm as a cup of sunshine. Some how from that I was called, her little sunshinecup. Yep I was spoiled and well loved by her. So… Did you put much thought into picking your name? Does it mean some thing to you and if so, what? !!!BTW I read and rate each post but my not be able to respond to all. Also don’t leave a yes or no, I will give a “-“ and report you as I ask all to do so when seeing a post like that. Thanks in advance.!!!!

Don't give me a negative rating for a short answer! I'll give you the reason: Thomas The Unbeliever. Quite simple, isn't it? ;)

From the Bible?! He was my favorite disciple!!! I posted the story of how Jesis came to him with no problem to prove he was real as my favorite story from the Bible. No wait maybe he is called doubtful Thomas. Ok if I got it wrong am sorry. You get a "+" any way.

Well my user name is actually my first name. It means lily of the valley in arabic, or iris, as in the flower, not the part of the eye.

Well to give you a short history of the word Iris, it came from greek word that means rainbow. So the part of the eye that is called Iris was named by rainbow because it comes in different colors. So as the flower named Iris. It also has different colors. But I really love the purple colored Iris haha.

I've been using this username for about a year. I wanted something different than what I usually use and something unique in general. Zuri is Swahili for "lovely" and it seemed to fit. The 25 comes from my daughter's birthdate.

I actually love the red shaded colors. One of this is my favorite purple color. I actually have a lot of purple things in my house and I eat some purple colored foods too. Haha sounds nasty. Anyway the best time to see those purplez inside and outside our house is during midnights. The color is becoaming deeper or brighter dpending on how the sky looks on that very day. I also love number nine because it is a lucky number. So I have comeup with the username: midnyt_purplez09 I already used this on some of my e-mail address and some forums like this also. I like this username a lot and values it too much. It is also sounds good for me so everytime someone asks me for my username I will answer them and will proudly say that it is midnyt_purplez09. All of us has some sort of historical background for our usernames and I hope I could see someone who has a very good story about the username that he or she is currently using. If ever I'll check back to this topic to read them all. Thank you!

basically i got my username from thinking that if you're a champion in life, you will always be a champion as champions are never forgotten. an example is mike tyson, he was a champion and even though he's done some bad stuff in life, he's still remembered for being a champion. football players like george best are still remembered after years of playing football because he was brilliant at what he did, and was a champion, he won a hell of alot of trophy's.

I just joined today, and this is the first response I've given. My chat name is bittersweet_charity which was given to me about 5 years ago. At that time I was simply Texredhead1977 boring and dull, lol. I asked a friend in chat if she could help me come up with a new name, the bittersweet stands for well, life the fact that life is bittersweet. The charity is for my giving nature :)

This is a nickname I've had for as long as I can remember. It's a combiniation of my first and middle names. My family had a hard time pronouncing my first name (people still don't say it right) and this was the nickname I got out of it. I use it for almost all my Internet names.
