My story isn't super intriguing, but when I joined in December 2019 my first chosen name was Ronan. Ronan, in general is an Irish name I love and means "little seal".
A year-ish later I became Reverie - which I often felt described me because I zone out a lot and am kind of in a 'daydream' at times. I kept that one for a bit until earlier last year when I became Cherubi. I felt like my name choices were a little too niche (if this is the right word), so I wanted something that would blend in a bit better. I was searching through pokemon and came across Cherubi. I'm already partial to grass type Pokemon (Leafeon is my favorite but alas, it was taken) and I have a dog named 'Ruby' so the fact it did slightly include it in the name felt more endearing to me.
I really enjoyed reading through all the stories in this thread. It's so interesting to learn what your inspiration and the history for all your names are

My story: I had no idea what this site was about. I only knew that I could get the answers to the Mystery Picture here. So I picked my silly name. I have two granddaughters and I always call them PeanutFace. Still do. Since I did not realize how involved I would become with the wonderful people here, I really did not think about a username. So now I am stuck with PF!!!!

I love reading everyone's backstory behind their username. I would of never guessed on why some of y'all chose your names - I just thought y'all wanted something cool/edgy/weird

Back in 2013 I used the same UN for everything and when I came back I cringed when I saw what it was. I went with this one because I love breaking bad but not only the character he plays in that series, I think he does great work and so I chose the man himself.
Wow this really brought up amazing stories, I'm very impressed by how light or how deep the usernames were chosen, everyone has a different story <3
I mean I'm DarkSkies so I kinda understand your point haha, but hey we have our own NC ítems lol
@(you need an account to see links) I'm glad you came back to the forum, you're always sparking happiness and I love your crazy funny ideas that make us smile
@(you need an account to see links) I remember noticing your change but only because I have you in my friend list and one day I was looking through it and I was like... Hold on a sec... Reverie? xD
@(you need an account to see links) Joining the group that was intrigued by your username too lol Mystery solved

It is pretty straight forward. I was trying to think of something semi-recognizable that is not just a random word, and I like Ghasts, so I picked it. My username before was something really random... some random long uncapitalized word... XD

@(you need an account to see links) omg well shit there's another huge mystery solved there 😆 I also never realized your switch, but recognized your previous UN a lot I think from Flight Rising stuff primarily (unless I am being mistaken lol)

My spouse was on a kick of listening to throwback songs from our favorite bands as teens. We loved the OG mayday parade (we got in trouble by our parents thirteen years ago leaving town together at 17yo to see them in concert, lol) and he was playing their song "Goodnight Moon" while in the shower when I signed up for CK. So.... here I am. Also my real name starts with G so it goes along haha.
thank you Lyrichord for the amazing avatar!
