We all have a name or phase or some of letters and or numbers to describe ourselves hear on Mylot. We see those of our friends pretty much everyday. I always try to figure out what the mean, just out of curiosity. Mine is just a unique version is my real name and my age combined. Tell me about yours and how you came up with it. If it is top secret information, tell me that and why. I hope that if you tell me, you wont have to hunt me down and kill me, ha, ha, LOL, you are laughing, aren't you?

Well I'm not very creative and so my username was isn't really that creative either. Its part of my name and the year of my jeep. It was easy and simple and I knew I would remember it when I had to. I don't like things to complicated.

Actually, I believe that this is quite creative, because it can mean so many different things. The first thing I thought is that maybe you were describing a home in the country where the roads are dusty. Then, I thought of a Disneyland where people with allergies can't go. This may sound silly, but this is what goes through peoples minds when they are trying to figure something out. If you were not creative it would be a no brainer to figure out.

It's a good idea really. So you can keep better track of all of your different user names.

I have joined so many sites online, especially recently, that I have to keep a log of all the different usernames and passwords. I had to, I could not keep trying to guess each one, each time.

Its one of my favorites album by my favorite band. Of course my all-time favorite is taken, and even this was taken. And hence the 8 at the start. The 8 though is not random, as it is the band's 8th album. That being of course the incredible band Dream Theater.

my username is in itself very different. People have actually made judgemental comments toward me just based off of my username. Not knowing anything about me they make general assumptions because of it. My name is actually a bit religious in its nature. I grew up in a Christian household being taught the bible and forced to go to church. As I got older and learned more about religion and things I found myself moving further and further away from the teachings of Christianity. In its teachings however the devil himself was one of Gods strongest and treasured angels. He took up issues with god and how god valued people over angels. Thus causing a war in heaven. Being cast out of heaven along with his followers he was thrust to earth. Thus making him a fallenangel, along with all the other angels that were cast out with him. They are all fallen and considered angels of the devil or deamons accourding to the christian faith. When I walked away from Christianity and from all its teachings my sister told me I reminded her of a fallen angel, because I turned my back on god as she knows it and religion. So the screen name represents that, an angel of the devil a fallen one.

One day I asked my best friend if she thought I was weird. She said, "No, I think you are unique and interesting." I always knew that it was the same thing and today you proved it. Just kidding, LOL.

Well now, I actually like it. Now that I know how you chose it. Darkness is cool, because in the dark, we are all the same. The only thing that is unique is our voices, so that we can be judged only by what we say.

Well, I know for me, I do not have a choice. Being that my name is so common, it is always, already in use. I wish I could get away with using my given name, especially since I love it so much. But in my family alone, I am at least the third Rosie. So I am forced to get real creative. Even my mother gave me a nickname, because we had the same name. And she was named after her aunt. And while it is a great honor, it can still be quite confusing. Not only that, if your name is unique, that is all the more reason to change it. If any one looks you up to steal your identity online, who else could it be, if you are the only one with that name. I think it doesn't make sense if you use your real name.

We have supported a football team all of our lives practically. It is Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. They are nicknamed the Owls. So us2owls is what I chose. Since I have a home in the United States - the us could stand for United States or since there are 2 of us in this house the us2 could stand for that. I felt it covered both ideas. LOL
