HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I used to be obsessed with all things Japanese (still kinda am) but when I joined this online game called Billy vs Snakeman (mostly based off "Naruto" and various other animes), I chose the Japanese name Yuka as my moniker. If I were actually Japanese, I would've used the kanji 由香, which mean "reason, fragrance". It's been 4 years almost and I still use Yuka or variants of it (Yukari, YukaJuka, Yuka Knight) as my screen names.

Plus it's absolutely nothing like my real name so if somebody I knew happened to play BvS too, they wouldn't have known.

Mine's easy.
Carey is my first name. Enz is the first three letters of my last. no riddles or acronyms for me!

IBlab is a instant message app with sound that my husband developed. Plus I like to talk about my crabs alot. His app and the word crab rhymed perfect.

I got mine from the first Halo game. One of the final lines in the last (non-easter egg) cut scene is "Just dust and echoes. We're all that's left."

Bridgit=my first name, Mac=my maiden name (abbreviated) and dads former nick name, 80=my birth year

used this name for all emails and log ins since my first online experience with AOL and Yahoo in the 90's. Only thing that makes sense to use lol

my first name is Anna (but i go by my middle name, Caroline, and always have)...my first boyfriend way back in high school called me "Ann" as a nickname and made my first aol account "annopia," and i loved it.

I heard the word wolfnipplechips on the TV once when I was a kid and started using it for usernames in highschool.

I am not a furry or anything. And I don't really have a special liking for wolves. I just think the word is funny.

I had to decide between wolfnipplechips or pickleweasel.

Mirror = when I was younger I was terrified of mirrors

akay = my gaming user name is Kaykami and people took to calling me Kay, so I wanted to add that in to mirror. I just didn't like the way mirrorkay sounded so I added the a between the two.

And for Kaykami, one day at school I got some cake on my shirt and if you say "cake on me" fast, it sounds like Kaykami. It was just a really silly joke that turned into a username I came to love.

So I use Mirrorakay for more community oriented things and Kaykami for game oriented things.

Mine isn't exciting at all!
Rane is my dog's name and his birthday is April 1, 2002.
Here is a picture of him to make my post slightly more interesting

I am Hispanic and a teacher. My last name, Vazquez, is too difficult for the students to say it, so I am Ms. V.

Lizardlady -two years ago I started entertaining and educating kids at birthday parties with all my pet reptiles. The name came automatically as the kids would call out "the lizard lady's here!"

CallaLily - I just like callalillies. . At the time I switched to it, that was the only house plant I managed to keep alive for a good length of time. I'm horrible with plants, I forget about them (they don't make noise and I have a horrible memory - I often forget what I walked into a room for ) but I've since discovered succulents which don't mind me occasionally forgetting about them. Also, my name means lily and in the past I've used Lily in one way or another.

My original username here, Selizain, is pieces of my names. S=Susan, eliz=the first part of my middle name, ain=the last part of my last name.

Other places I'm known as AoibeNeasa or SilverGreenOwl. AoibheNeasa (pronounced like "Eva Nessa" is just two names I liked around a time I was kind of obsessed with Irish names. SilverGreenOwl, two of my fav colors and I like owls.

This is pretty common and affects some more then others.

I love your matching avatar. Took me a while to figure out why the heck you had it up though!

I considered the name I am called every day- Ms. Jenny- and than I thought- to a world full of people who dont know what context that is actually used in- my classroom- it could possibly sound.... creepy. So I took the first thought, and first name I was called. By my grandmother- jenny becca (middle name is rebecca).....
