Usernames.... How did you choose your username for agnostic and what's the story behind it.... ? Would you ever change it and if so, why?
I choose my username because my Dad called me cutiebeauty since I was born and up until I was ten years old when he and my Mom were killed...
I wish people wouldn't use silly usernames, but use their first name with something added. I like to know I'm dealing with a John, Mary or Frank, and not some silly name. Sorry but that's how I feel.
My daughter calls me faja as a term of endearment
The Darth part is because I’m a nerd
What does faja mean? Father?
@Cutiebeauty
Yes ?
My partners son calls him faja too
More nerd for you "Darth Vader" well Vader in German is Vater which means father. But I bet ypu knew that already
Basically I got tired of people on xbox asking me "are you a girl what's your name???" so I changed my gamertag to "Ladyalyxandrea" and, well, it's never taken as a username and it gets the information across. I am a Lady named Alyxandrea
Too bad people on xbox still ask me if I'm a girl and what my name is?
I'd made a similar post about this in August
What’s the origin of your Agnostic.com name?
but almost 8 months ago is a long time, so no problem about it. But this is what I had written about mine:
My name, bleurowz, is the name for my design/creative work. I love a blue rose, and so I took the words and put them together in a different way, and I’ve also created this logo for myself.
But there’s more to this story. Sometime after a friend had asked me if I’d gotten the name from The Glass Menagerie -- I had to look it up, and this is what I found: “Jim calls Laura ‘Blue Roses,’ a mispronunciation of ‘pleurosis,’ the childhood disease that left Laura crippled. The name ‘Blue Roses’ turns Laura’s defect into an asset: her unusual qualities are seen as special rather than debilitating.”
I can’t make this stuff up.
Many moons ago, when I was young, skinny, shaved of pate and goateed of beard, I fronted a death metal band. Please see exhibit A,
@Bierbasstard Splug is great. Sounds like a ladle of mashed potato hitting a wall.
Likely due to my Asperger's Syndrome, I am a recluse...much like a hermit. My father grew-up speaking Polish, so he had a heavy accent that precluded the "th" sound. So, all "th" sounds were pronounced as "d" or not pronounced at all. For instance "North" became, "Nort", "this" was pronounced as
"dis", and "the" was pronounced as "da". Therefore, I chose "dahermit" as my screen name..."The Hermit", but with a Polish accent.
Very sweet story about your dad but so sad at the end! I chose mine because I love Liverpool and the Beatles. I would change it if necessary for security reasons...
For me it was the stupidest name I could think of
I use the screen name "KevinAverett", because my real name is Kevin Averett.
I am a proud man, and hide behind nothing.
Choosing my username was easy; I just chose the name I was born with. I decided that on the very off chance that I might find companionship on this sight, I would start off by being as honest as possible. I realize that "putting myself put there" might leave me somewhat vulnerable and open to criticism, but I also realized that so many years of pretending to be someone I'm not has left me in the position I am in.
When I was signing up I was feeling pretty good. Part of the attraction was because it was a dating site. I'm a positive type person anyway so I just thought be happy, that might catch someone's eye! Then I thought it might make them smile or maybe even inspire someone. Added the extra e just to be different (come to find out, it's not so different, oh well. Lol).
It was the best word I think of, that described the next stage of my life. I freed myself from religious bs and the number was my age at the time. Becoming an Atheist is the best descision I have ever made in my life. I wish I did it earlier in life.
I'm with you on that 100%. But I'm enjoying it now.
When I first moved to China I had a Japanese gf. I told her I was amazed at how popular I was. She said, that's because you are a panda, a novelty. Thus, SeattlePanda.

"Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
Wildflower
That girl's sure put a spell on me
Yeah, her voodoos hidden right behind her pocket
If she's fire, I'm gasoline
Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it
Well, she'll tell you she's an only child until you meet her brothers
Swear she's never met the man she couldn't make into a lover"
So sorry about your parents Cutiebeauty. I took my screen name for my grandchildren who call me Gammy, and just added redheaded to that.
Wait! You have red hair ???? sorry couldn't resist
@Heidi68 Lol, it comes from a bottle, but I feel like a redhead in my bones. ?
@Redheadedgammy doesn't matter where it comes from, it is all about attitude & owning it. I did auburn when i turned 40, absolutely loved it except it turned orange because I spend so much time in the sun.
