I'm always interested in the origins of people's usernames on forums. How did you think of it, etc. Some people use their real names, some choose random nicknames, etc.

Me, personally I chose Dawn symbolically. A new beginning - it means the suns coming soon. All acts even those committed in the darkest times will come to truth in the purest light of the dawn. Also because it was my routine that I would always wake up in the dawn.

Sometimes I add "Fatal Dawn" because it describes my belief of Fatalism. To say that all life must end no matter what. One life ends a new one will eventually rise in the morning.

Dawn also stands as an acronym for Defy All With Nerve. Representing my morale that mental strength is the greatest power.

It also by the fact rhymes with my real nickname "Don". But that wasn't why I chose this name.

LOL, sorry for the whole backstory - I hope I'm not the only person who put this much thought in their username.

Joel is my real name

Nice one Dawn. My name too is my real name

Yea, i saw your Facebook profile, you look so smart. Like a business man.

Nem is short for Nemanja, pronounced Ne-ma-nya

I just wanted a unique username so I randomly took some words and combined them... alien, kill, ill, lion etc and it became ankillien!

Many people wonder how 'ankillien' is pronounced, even I don't know how xD
People also wonder what is the meaning of 'ankillien' but its completely meaningless

cool. Nice name! So, what's your real name than?

I have no idea actually.. wanted something unique, but noticed that it's very familiar to Felon, which is some word for prisoner, lol

wow, cool origin of your username! ankillien! Well for mine, it's obvious that I love the cartoon series named Zoids, the number 25 are just random number I thought to make it longer

That was simple to figure Zoids is'nt as popular now.

Zoids?

What happened?

Haha , I pronounce yours as [An-key-lee-eyun] lol
And for mine , Well , erm...Mine has a long story , anyway , it goes something like this ,
I just got my internet on my PC , and of course , like everyone else , My noob days started too (Don't you dare laugh on me , even I know , that YOU had noob days too , So shat yup )
Anyway , So yeah , During the time when I started my noob days , I used to be a dang cartoon fan , (Still am though ) And I kept thinking of what to choose as screen name , and any I tried , seemed occupied , so I just randomly had this idea , of name "Fred" , Well , this name got it's origination from
"Fred Weasley" Of Harry Potter,
**Spoiler Warning , Don't open if you haven't read HP & Deathly Hallows**

Spoiler:

"Fred Flinstone" of The Flinstones,
"Fred" of Scooby Doo.
Haha , and that's how it goes! , My username originated just like that , and when I tried adding any of them , all were occupied , so I thought something randomly , and chose "100" after it , and guess what? , It was accepted and My first step to what I'm now started.

Mine is a Nickname that I have had since I was around 2

Back On topic anyways

Yeah alot of people based their nicknames on their real life nicknames. If so I would have named myself Don or something along those lines.

lol Fellon sounds more bada$$ than your other name Pancake. Can I ask what Revoken is meaning, it seems to be another popular name for you.

I've never heard of zoids the cartoon. I have heard of final fantasy which is where your avatar is from.

Well, I love the ecosystem, and I think green is a great color for web design, so that's what I chose

I wanted something related to Link that was original enough.

LINK <-- KNIL <--- K - NIL <-- Kaynil.

Also K is my fave letter and Nil, well, you know what it means.
