    How did you come up with your username?

    What the title says
    How did everyone come up with their username for this site?
    ---
    I just used my actual nickname IRL. People have been calling me Keddy since I was 4 or 5, because when I was little, I couldn't say Kendall (which is my real name) and I just said "I'm Keddy." My mom thought it was so cute that she just started calling me Keddy instead of Kendall. My entire family and the (few) friends I ever had just call me Keddy as well. The only place anyone calls me Kendall is at work because I'm in a position of authority there so no nicknames are appropriate LOL.
    How did everyone else come up with theirs?

    No real thought went into it, I needed a name that isn't the same as the ones I use everywhere else so I just put two random words together. ¬_¬

    That's such a cute story!! Aww!

    No good story for me.. Life is absurd and inane. Inane makes a better handle.

    Kirsebær means cherry in danish. I love cherries - end of story. I have no creativity when it comes to usernames.

    Mine's depressing.

    Just thought it accurately described my life. I spend a lot of time convincing myself (and others) that I'm happy/content. It's a constant battle since my default state of mind isn't exactly preferable.

    Lasair is the Irish word for fire.....I was looking at a candle when trying to come up with a name that was not linked to my real name. I though it sounded nice too.

    It's the name of the main character from one of my favourite novels, Catch-22.

    Chantelle is the name of one of my alters.............the one with SA. So I thought I'd jazz her name up a bit.

    I was also trying to get away from the user names I used for the past 5 years on forums. I had a stalker who kept following me around the internet, obviously googling my user name. She did end up following me to the other social anxiety forum. The only way I think she would have been able to find out where I was, was when one of the members with a unique name, commented on my website blog. She must have googled his name.

    My previous user name though has meaning. It's a combination of me as a whole.

    I really like Chantellabella though and love when you guys call me Chanty or other variations of it.

    She finally went away. Sorry for the derail.

    I guess that "Ronco Stalker Away" is worth the 19.95!

    I like hearing about how you guys came up with your username.

    What about everybody else? How did you come up with it?
