I can spend an hour trying to think of a creative username that I actually like... and usually it will have "Rocky" in it because it's the English version of my real name.

There's been at least 2 topics on this before, but the answer to mine is in my signature.

I didn't know what would be the right key words to search for find this same topic, so I started this one

I really don't know why I kept my nickname because I've had people here criticise that it's a ''guy's nickname''. My real name is Josie, but people call me Jo for short, and some have spelt it with an ''E'' on the end, so I thought I'd just put it like that then stick 90 on the end because that's the year I was born in, I suppose. But also, coincidentally, there was a character in a very old film nicknamed ''Joe-90'', and I liked him so much that I wanted to name myself after him if I ever went on any internet forums, so.....yep, that's the story behind my nickname, for those who love to criticise!

The only thing I worry about is people here might think I'm really a man but such a gay man that I am stubborn that I'm a female so I write it down in my signature and get everyone to believe that I'm a female, even though, physically I'm a male.
But no, I am definately a real female. I swear on my mother's life that I am a real female.

I think Spock's character encapsulates the struggle between functioning and deep emotions. He also finds solace in logic, as I try to.

Well, I've always loved this classic Disney cartoon called "Susie the Little Blue Coupe," and since my name has "Pink" in it, my dad once called me "The Little PINK coupe," which I liked, so I wanted it to be my username. :) I also have a carsona with the same name.

While registering my account here I was trying to think of something cute and a little ladybug flew into my house and landed on my arm. I absolutely love ladybugs, flowers and butterflies, and the first letter of my first name is "S", so here I am. LadybugS. I know it's stupid - you don't have to tell me. :tongue:

So that's where the car's from! I saw a commercial when I was waiting in the lounge with a short clip of that car and wondered where it was from, then I saw your "entourage" with that same car. I like finding out something new! :D

Thanks! :) Yep, that's Susie!

Was this the commercial you saw her in, by any chance?

Somebody at a factory that I worked at a long time ago, in the 90s called me a Cockney Rebel and asked me to give it a break. I took it as a compliment years later when I joined this site in 2004.

Mine is pretty self-explanatory. I also figure it is best to be somewhat anonymous for the time being, and avoided previous usernames I have used on Xbox or PS3 or other sites as a result.

My problems with the English language where certain letter combinations are not pronounced like they're spelled.

Name is pronounced "fish": gh as in rough, o as in women, ti as in action

(I took this from another source)

When I was a toddler, I believed that "Idaho Rose" was part of my actual name. Whenever someone would ask what my name was, I would tell them my full name and add "an Idaho Rose" at the end.

Coincidentally, "Rose" is also my middle name (after Rose Kennedy) and I have lived in the state of Idaho my whole life.

My name is Robin. I was born in 1962. I'm a very light-skinned mixed Asian/black guy. When I was 12, I was in the airport in Trinidad getting ready to come to the U.S. A man (an official, I guess) saw my name and started joking about it, saying, "Hey, redbreast" or "Hey, Robin Redbreast." Something like that. Anyway, it kinda stuck.

I used to be swift as the wind and run loose, so I got the nickname swoosh that somehow became sluice, or it could have been my tendency to slur words together like sweet juice into sluice. Really, whichever you prefer.
