I've seen some really neat ones on here and was wondering if any one cared to share what their user name meant to them and how they came up with it. Why did you choose the icon that you chose?
Hmm well Seeing as my name is Jeffery Thomas Johnson and I'm 25 years old, I have absolutely no idea where I came up with my user name; I think as with many things I just pulled it out of my big fat blindingly pale white (_|_). As far as my current icon, I like to make homophobic men uncomfortable by presenting them with a confusing, erotic man/woman picture so they question their own sexuality!
I admit to stalking you this time:P I was browsing through your questions to find yet another opportunity to be a dork. I assure you, I do not stalk you often dear, but I was extremely bored this time around. Honest!
That's all right. You are a nice stalker :) I will allow it. Moreover, you amuse me - feel free to answer any of my questions with your sarcastic comments any time ;) - A month ago
Mine was my sure name on a hacking forum when I was a hacker. Binary Illusion, I hide in binary(computer language, 1s and 0s) and I'm an illusion, you think I'm there, maybe I am maybe I'm not. But when your screwed, you know I was there, but you can't find me.
My more recent one, Crypt Cypher is conflicting, and more uplifting I think. Crypt means to lock or to make indecipherable. Cypher is the key, the solution to the cryptology. So I am the problem and the answer. The hacker, but a good hacker.
But yeah, Binary Illusion is literal meaning lol. I hide in your computer and am an illusion. I varied that with delusion when Illusion was taken up on some websites. And I read how you came about yours xD Funny stuff lol. Those things are good btw :)
Lol - I wish I could say there was a deeper meaning to mine - but alas I am too much of a goofball for that lol. Thank you for sharing Binary :D - 3 months ago

Aw, but your the best goofball I know! Lol, and no problems :) I like your questions. - 2 months ago
Its an acronym.. a mix between an underground music artist and my name.. hahaha for the sake of being mysterious.. =D but ill let you in on one thing.. he made the song, Feather.. it has a really nice distinctive piano beat.
From what I hear, it's the best performing cop car around. Better than the impala or the charger. So I have respect for it as a machine but as soon as you put some blue paint and some lights on it, it is ruined. - 4 months ago

Lol - I'm willing to see the logic of that. - 4 months ago
Name: It comes form the internet expression "What is this I don't even...". Someone might say it when they see something entirely random that they can't comprehend.
Icon: I like Manga and cute girls with glasses... so why not.
I chose my user name because I'm tall and skinny. I chose my icon because I thought it was a good pic of me because you don't have to see my face. And no, it's not some random pic I found, that's really me.
Lol - how does Kotten translate to hedgehog? It's cool either way :D (the cotten eye joe song pops in my head when I see it :-X ) - 4 months ago
Answerer
I'm swedish, our word for hedgehog is "igelkott" and my nickname has evolved a bit between 1st grade and 4th grade, from "igelkott" then "kott" and finally "kotten". - 4 months ago
When I bought my first car, a used 1986 Camaro Z28, my friends and I all decided to give our cars identical paint jobs and names that were more of a designation than a name. Naming rules stated that the name had to be a word followed by a number. I named my Camaro Weapon-0 cause I liked the sound of it, and since I liked it better with the 0 spelled out as Zero, I started using that as my username everywhere.
Not gonna lie - that's pretty sweet :D - 4 months ago

Thanks. Oh, and the Icon is a recent picture of me wearing my wet-weather riding jacket. I own three: one for the extreme heat, one for the cooler weather that doubles as my winter coat, and this one that's waterproof/rainproof in case there's the chance of running into rain. I posted it because I lost a lot of weight recently (over 40 lbs) and wanted to post a recent pic of the not-as-fat me. - A minute ago - 4 months ago
Question Asker
That is totally awesome - I also remembered when you posted the question about the jackets. I think you picked well :D
Grats on losing all the weight! It takes a lot of hard work and motivation/determination :D You definitely have a right to be proud :) - 4 months ago
Answerer
Actually I wasn't able to purchase the one from the poll because they ran out of the ones in my size before I was able to order. I guess that's how closeout sales work, huh? - 4 months ago

Truthfully the name "Toban" is a slang for us that borders on a slur. It's referring to Manitobans. I decided to use it. I have a curious fascination with frost and cold things.
Anyway I used it for the name of a character once about 8 years ago, and had plans of writing stories about the guy, but the stories became too complex, and there was plot holes and any attempt to patch them up usually opened up a new one and I had nobody to bounce ideas off of. Eventually I decided not to write these stories.
Blah, so now I am just using it for the occasional screen name.
I'd never heard of that slur before - what is it a slur for? Canadians? - 4 months ago
Answerer
As I explained. it's for Manitobans. People who live in Manitoba. Manitoba is a province in Canada. Provinces are like states. The way I've usually heard it was from people who came from Saskatchewan or Ontario (two neighbouring provinces) and usually uttered something like "you f_cking toban" out of anger. - 4 months ago
Question Asker
Well - sad day - Chose to embrace it? I still like your username :D
you should keep the stories going - with all your background knowledge in comic books - bet you'd be able to come up with something pretty awesome. I hope you didn't dump them completely :( - 4 months ago
Answerer
No but I think I need another writer to bounce some of my ideas. Somebody who can help me clear up things like plot holes and stuff. - 4 months ago
Just a name I use a lot when playing games or making accounts. I love Foxes and, well...surprisingly UnknownFox was always available on every site I went to.
I <3 foxes as well. My favourite animal is the red panda - it looks like a cross between a fox, a raccoon, and a panda bear. XD the perfect combination. - 4 months ago
ooo mine is really exciting... its my first name and last initial! haha but I started using it because my volleyball coach always called me jennyv so it just stuck
and I chose my icon because...I thought it looked amazing and I love sprinkles XD
Peachyme101, I don't know my friends always say I'm in a peachy mood haha so why not. And I like the sound of 101 at the end :p. I actually don't like the icon, just haven't gotten around to changing it yet haha.
My username is more of a joke than anything else. I made it up a few years ago. I replaced some of the letters with numbers, because I think using '1337-speak' is really funny, and I'm kind of making fun of people who are serious about using it. So it's actually c.untninja, which is meant to be interpreted however you'd like, because it doesn't have any real meaning, haha.
My icon is just a picture of me. It's like a year old, but I recently decided I liked it and figured I should use it for something. Showing my face on the internet isn't a big deal to me.
link Cool Relax was the name of his album. I listened to it a lot in high school, and I started using it as a username.
I honestly didn't put any thought into my icon. I wear chucks, I had the picture, so I uploaded it with the intention of changing it later on...but I didn't haha
Lol I always wondered about your icon - it is actually what inspired me to ask about the icon as well - rofl :D good to know ^___^ - 4 months ago
Answerer
Really? I feel special :P You're not the first person who didn't know what it was though, I kind of feel like I should change it just because I've had a number of people ask about it lol - 4 months ago
