I've been known as Branr for 12 years now; the name was a randomly generated name for my Dark Elf warrior in the old game Everquest, and I have used it in some form in every game since then.

I've had it for years.  Mostly it's cause I'm a unicornfan.  The 85 is the year I was born.

My name is Kirk.  So Captain is a nickname that everyone relates to simply by hearing my name.  I'm amazed that no one else on this board has taken it, I usually need to add a few numbers to the end.

I hate my first name, partly because no one pronounces or spells it right and where my mom got it from, and it is similar to an aunt that I despise.  I have an identical twin sister and when we were born, mom didn't know what to name us so she used the names of her nurse's twins.  I love my mom, but she had no imagination!

So, I picked a name that I wish she had chosen, similar to my real name but, at least to me, sounds much nicer.

If so, than you really should have Pets. ;)

I used to play a lot of roleplaying games (the kind you use dice for - I'm old) and when I was first starting out I didn't really know what to do so I let my boyfriend make a character for me.  For some unfathomable reason, he named the character Tuesday Morning.  The character later married, and her married name has stuck with me over time and has been recycled in other games and communities for going on 20 years.

I've been using 'adorKablefae' since I started using the internet;  It's actually kind of annoying how overused 'adorkable' is these days, because when I came up with it I'm fairly sure I'd never seen it anywhere.  Not that I can claim with any certainty that it was my original thought because that's a really rare thing, but I was 12 and thought it was the most original thing ever and  10 years later it's super popular? 

Anyway, adorkable because adorable and dork are two things that describe me really well, and fae because, well, I'm a hippy faerie child xD

So yeah, adorKablefae.  I stopped capitalizing the K at some point in the last few years because I got lazy.  Haha.

I always admired the name 'Selena' as it means 'the moon' in Greek, and I thought it was cool. Also, typing in '4324' is really easy on the number row above the letters on the keyboard, and on one website, I needed to add some numbers to my name-hence, Selena4324 was born! I usually use this for my favorite websites-well, the ones that need usernames, anyways (including this one :D).

One of your parents must be a Trecky. Not sure how you write that, but I'm sure you know what I mean. ;)
Pam will love your name! :D

I think it's 'Trekkie'. My dad is a massive one, and I'm a little bit of one :)

Funny you should mention that. That's exactly how I got mine, except it was an Iksar Shadowknight. :)

Mine was just a nickname for grade school. They called me scaredycat, and because Claire(my name) rhymes with scare, they called me clairedcat so yeah

Well, mine was thought up when I was ten (Wow, that's more than a decade ago!). I have always loved animals, so I simply combined the word 'paws' with the last syllable of my name, which happen to end with 'belle.' Hence, paws_bells. Yes, I know it's not very original, but on the plus side, I'm usually able to retain exclusive use of this nickname on whichever site I sign up to be a member of. =)

And yep, I most definitely have the Pets expansion pack as well. It's one of my favorites!  ;D

...Yeah, that's me.

You've stolen the last part of my username!
But at least I am still older. :P

I got my user name from the term user name. Haha, i think it's creative, yet uncreative.
