Sometimes I wonder how and why people choose their usernames. Was it something that had a lot of history behind it? My username? Not much to see. I live in NY and like majors (the ant kind). There must be more people out their with far more interesting stories. Pop in and tell the community your story.

I wanted something that sounds stupid, so I changed it from my real life name to this. I like it now because people can just call me AAU for short.

I chose this username because it’s a blend of part of my first name and parts of my last names.

Nice. So I guess people have more history than I thought

Did you choose the numbers at random or is there a reason

I chose mine because it's simple and straightforward. People also like to abbreviate it in a multitude of ways... just stick with TA... that's cool with me :D

Reading this thread makes me realize my username was a heavily regrettable decision.

Back in 2011 I played this online Nickelodeon game called Monkey Quest where you essentially play as a ninja monkey. 9 year old me thought it would be an awesome idea to merge my first name with the word ninja lol. Up until last year I’ve used it for almost everything.

My name is Andrew, so I went with the obvious homophone.
