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. :P

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."

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.

CallaLily - I just like callalillies. :D. 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 :lol: ) but I've since discovered succulents which don't mind me occasionally forgetting about them. :lol: 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. :)

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).....
