Really good topic Zuko! It's fun to see the reason behind the other names also.

Yeah i suppose i get this people who come up with usernames that show they are a fan or truely love someone or something is kinda lame and should more then likely be avoided. Like my name for instance shows im a fan of Xion from KH but thanks to you im going to have a much better name in about eight days of time lol

I changed my name once. I used to be Stray but after my BS hiatus I came back and went "what a dumb name *changes*" But Sora-kun is grounded in some offline-ness.

"Sora" came about because I was a rabid Kingdom Hearts fangirl. I was called Sora offline because of my rabid fandom. "-kun" was added because of the fact that people assume I'm a boy online a lot. I have no idea why, but I tacked on "-kun" as kind of a "dur hur imma tomboy" type thing back when I was a wapanese teen and it stuck. I've been Sora-kun for about three or four years. It's not a super unique name by any means (wander into the KH forums and you'll see plenty of Sora-kuns!) but it represents me 100% and I'm cool with that.

tl;dr: This topic is win.

I was originally AleuIsCute. We don't talk about that stage of my life. Thats that.
When I was changing my username from AleuIsCute, I made it to challenge my half sister, Dana. She named her cat Sadie, and her dog Kadie. She hates me. So bing, I'm TADIE.
Tadie fits my a whole lot more then AIC, to, in more ways then one.

Yeah I agree it does get rather annoying seeing tons of Balto or Jenna or Even ALEU fans out there...Just cause you ARE a fan of Aleu,Balto OR Jenna doesn't mean you have to be named after them. But it's ok to be a fan of a TV show to use your username like mine since I am a fan of Teen Titans, so I got the nickname Star or Starfire even if I had a different username before this one....But even MY username is taken alot, I think it fits me though^

I suppose mine in un-original too? I was told that once because I put "Balto" in it.

Anyway, I agree with the simple names and such. Like people can't think of anything? And I HATE it when people change their name's all the time. There is somebody here who does that a lot...

I don't particularly like characters as usernames, but it seems to work for some people like you, Zuko.
I'm sure Sardonyx is something I'll be for a long time; it's my birthstone and they don't tend to change xD

Finally a topic about this xD
yeah, the balto130292348485857 names are getting annoyes, and as you said, this is a Balto FAN site, so there is no reason to have a name that says you're a balto fan xD

I originally called myself just Italian Wolf to specify that I come from Italy but, I had the feeling that something was missing, so I wanted to add something before the Italian Wolf; how I came up with Saske? Well, I am a naruto fan, honestly I used to be a Naruto anome fan but not anymore, now I just buy the manga, I think the cartoon it's too censored and they had ruined a lot of things, I discovered that a channel on my TB was in english and they showd Naruto in english so, when I heard how the name of Sasuke was pronunced, I fell in love with it and decided to call myself like that because Sasuke Italian Wolf didn't sounded good but Saske Italian Wolf was fine for me :] so, that's the history of my name xD it's almost three years I've had this name, on DA too, and I'm not going to change it.

My username doesn't have much of a meaning, I just was starting to hate my old user name, wolfgirl_10, and wanted to change it. it's not that 'cool' but....I don't care much about my popularity as long as I have my friends.

It's easy to see why I gave myself that name, 1. I like wolves, 2. I'm a girl, and 3. I was 10 when I jioned. But then a year later I saw all the other 'wolfgirls' on the site, so I was going to change it something else. Something with a better nickname 'WG10' and for some reason....I liked the name Street Dog xD, some users call me 'Street' wich I don't mind, or call me by my fursona's name 'Chance'(wich I MIGHT be changing) then there are only two members who call me by my real name. Not much of a history to my name, and I havn't seen any other similar usernames. And I don't think I'll be changing it. (for a while, at least)

I agree! I get tired of all those common usernames!!!! >.>

BUT... I bet y'all are curious about how I came up with the name "Lil'Cinnamon" xD (The Rio part... That's just an addon for my fursona. Nothing much.)

WELL... THE STORY!!!!

All my usernames have sucked before. I might of had like 1 more original username which was "Keder" In it,That stuck a lot too.

I came up with "Lil'Cinnamon" on a site called "SanrioTown" (Noo Don't call me weird for liking Sanrio xD I know its girly but I like it. WHO CARES? xD)

But.. When I first Joined SanrioTown yeah. My username was "!KEDER" and stuff. but then I underwent another username change.... BUT... Lets talk about "Lil'Cinnamon". xD

I wanted a new LOOK on SanrioTown dedicating to one of the Sanrio characters.. "Cinnamoroll". Yeah. I made a siggy... (This was WAY before I was awesome at graphics. I was good at graphics then too though.) And I tried to come up with a username.

It took a couple tries though to come up with "Lil'Cinnamon" Prolly about an hour ^^;

But Soon I came up with it, and I liked it! When I came up with it at the time I never thought it would stick xD

BUT... I came up with the Username like a while before I joined Balto Source. BUT.. When I joined this site.. I decided.. "Hmm... I should use the name "Lil'Cinnamon" its better than KEDER!" So VIOLA! I joined as "Lil'Cinnamon"

Anyway... I LOVE THIS USERNAME! It will NEVER CHANGE. 8D I suck at usernames anyway, but I like this one a lot xD

- - -

The "Rio"... Not much of a story at all. Just created a roleplay, was in a naming slump... I just came up with "Rio"..

Yeah When I came up with it I never knew I would use it as my fursona and stuff xD I LOVE THE NAME RIO TOO xDD

And When I cameup with it I wanted to add "Rio" To my username so yeah.

It is now "Lil'Cinnamon (Rio)" And always will be ^^.

WOW long post. Its done now though xD

I used to be meerkatcute,cuz at the time I joined,my love for meerkats was high.(Meerkat manor obsession,inspired me,don't ask.xD) I still love them lil critters,but eventually,I just got so sick of it.xD And being called "Meerkat"Alot.Actually,my fursona's name,Kat,was inspired from the 'kat' in meerkat,sooo.I decided to change.I knew I was gonna be called something with Kat in it,but I didn't know what.I went through a list of colours I liked,and suited it,then decided "Hazel Kat"Sounded good.:3 It was either that or Ebony Kat.xDD

This is awesome Zuko.I'm actually getting kinda tired of seeing two 'balto's' on the shoutbox,and talking to one and the other replying.

I was one of those KodixDusty fans. In fact, each time I would make a new account I would pick my username to be DustylovesKodi or something like that. But I got tried of it so after a while, and after a new account, I changed my username to wolfoflove to have something different then everybody else.
