As we know, we need a username to interact in the internet. Especially in myLot, I see a lot of unique username. Those are combinations of letters and numbers. I just wondering, what makes you use those as your username? What makes you decide it? What is behind the decision to make it? Like me, I use 070707, or triple 07, to mentioned to remember that those numbers was came from my son's birthdate. He was born on 7 July, 2007. So, what is yours? And why? Please tell me then.

Sounds interesting. My username, calyxus, is one of the words that I, let us say, invented. Well, I like to make new words and I think nobody has thought about it yet. So I claim it to be "my word." And I like the sound of it. It sounds something magical. LOL And I've been using it for a long time now.

Wow. Yes, it is sound magical, calyxus. I hope the new word has meanings too. Not just words. So, make words and describe the meanings. Thanks for responding.

Oh I see, I have to describe it, eh? Hmmmnn.. let us see... Calyxus: it is a noun (of course... lol), its made up of two words, i think. Calyx is a part of a flower, or something like that. And Lexus (or lyxus, in my case) is a car. So I think Calyxus means a beautiful car! Haha.. How's that?

Thanks, red. So, you combined your favorite become your username. That is nice. And I guess you loved it, because you already use those since you were in high school. Thanks for responding.

Hi 070707! I use iamcdy because it is a shortcut of saying who I am. Well, CDY is the shortcut of my name, which my friends also use to call me. I like it because when people read it, it's like I am telling my name or introducing myself. Yours is pretty cool, actually. Your son could probably use the same code when he grows up.

Your son really has a unique birthdate. ^_^ Well, as for my username, it's my own nickname. When I first started to use Internet, it's always been my username. When I registered any accounts with my username, I was always told it's not available, thus I added a number to it. The number is actually my birthdate - 13 May.

My username came from a show "Anneshirley of Green Gables". It was shown here many years ago and this is sort of a link to all my friends in high school so it is special to me. Also, I love the name Anneshirley...I find this very feminine and unique.
