How did you choose your username?

I'm always interested to find out how people chose their usernames. I decided to be 5th House because it is the astrological house associated with creativity. (Additionally -- although I hadn't realised this at first -- when I came to add up all the houses I've lived in during my life, I actually realised that my current address is my 5th house.) So this name does seem very apt for me. How did you choose your username?

In this case...I had no creativity at all. I just used my name.

I just took the first two letters of my first name and surname. if I'd thought it through I wouldn't have chosen something ending in 'o' as lots of people think I'm a fella

Great explanation as to how you arrived at the username you did. Saulgoodman Basically I often say to people on the telephone " its all good, man " I am an eternal optimist.

I never really got into 'Better call Saul' on Netflix, even though I loved Breaking Bad

@5thHouse Ive never seen either show. I used saul goodman as an alias in real life for a while a long time ago. Might post about why I did that.
