I know we have a thread dedicated to what names we've all had. But why? Why did you pick your Codex username?

I feel like mine is a bit too obvious........

I never would have guessed.

I'm not sure because I'm not particularly fond of it ...

So change it?

[Bee]

It's the meaning of my name and the last syllable. It fit.

[Swar]

I never would have guessed.

Fun fact: I like Robin more.

[Maruko]

My name in japanese (or a least is what I found) is Marukozu, then I just modifided it to Maruko

[cara]

So change it?

 

I don't know if I'm ready for that kind of change in my life.

[Keil]

It's one of my first real names.

I changed it to kelvin after getting tired of explaining the origin of keil.

[Ali]

It is my name.

[razer]

Well I had trouble deciding on a username, so I looked around, noticed my headset and BAM.

I feel like your name is a HIMYM reference but I just can't figure out what.

 

Just googled it, need to see that episode again... 

[Tammy]

It's my name lol

 

tammyisbored, my previous username is also pretty self explanatory

[Generic]

I've always kind of thought of myself as a pretty average guy all around, so I started using the word Generic in like all my usernames. "Generic" and then whatever word I feel is applicable to the account I'm creating. Feels like a bit of an ironic calling card, being known as the Generic guy. Plus I think it's a cool word. Plus it kind of goes with the whole stick figure aesthetic which I've slowly grown really attached to.

 

"Generic" is always the first username I try, but it's usually taken. Wonder why

[Coops]

It's interesting to hear people's reasons for their usernames. When I came back, I didn't want to be known as my usual internet handle, for various reasons. But then I couldn't think of anything. So I went for my cats' names. Unfortunately, Toast was taken...

[Junjie]

It's my name, rendered in a way inspired by @HiMyNameIsNick

[Required]

When I was 10-ish my friends and me created a club whose name was the mixture of our surnames. Soon after that I created my first neopets account under that name just for fun. We forgot about the club like a week after its creation but I stuck around with the account. People started calling me Scavi and I grew tired of correcting them, so my internet name became Scavi.

[CaptainDantes]

I joined codex shortly after reading the count of monte cristo - best book I've ever read. I wanted something that related to the book and I felt that SinbadTheSailor was too long of a username. Even though it's only 2 more characters

[HiMyNameIsNick]

One of my friends twitter username was HiMyNameIsHISNAME, and since Nick was taken...

[Lollita]

My name is Heloiza, when I was 13 y/o I had 3 close friends and one day they decided that each of them would call me differently, and it was Helo, Lolo and Lollita xD. I thought Lollita was cute so I started using it as my username everywhere ^^

At one point in time it was cool or whatever to use your real name.

So I went with my favorite manga/animé character's name which is practically the same anyways.

Ended up being quite satisfied with it though so will probably be the last time I change it.

I just figured you could put any name there. Oops.
