Mine's just what my two main obsessions were at the time I joined. I wish I could change it to "Dragonfire," which would be a reference to my dragon soul.

Mine is in tribute to a kid who defended me against bullies when I was 9 years old.

He suggested that my new nickname be "Krafty Kortie," instead of something insulting, and that the nickname be placed on the back of a tee-shirt. We were going to play in a softball tournament in a couple of days.

I was brainstorming ideas for a name that would be different from what I typically use. Potato is borrowed from the term given to objects of inferior quality, and as potatoes are inanimate, I simply slapped on sentient to it. By coincidence though, another posting a silly, nonsensical post, mentions a sentient potato. Said post was made well before I registered, and I had no knowledge of its existence until sometime after.

I'm a huge fan of potatoes. It's one of my favorite foods. Although sometimes I would use it as an offense to my ex-boyfriend when he was very bland and cold – I don't know why it sounded like a good term, but in overall I feel potatoes to be actually a warm and comforting food.

I had originally wanted to use the name Magneto, but as it was already taken I chose MaxE which is for Max Eisenhardt which is in fact Magneto's birth name, although a lot of people think his name is Erik Lehnsherr (but that's actually an alias).

This is the first time I've ever revealed this.

I swear I posted mine but I guess it got removed?

Anyways; mine comes from my Xbox Gamertag but I'm slowly moving away from it due to a Welsh Band of a similar names Lead Singer and people (especially those from the UK) occasionally think that's where I got it from, but it's actually from an Online Gamertag Generator because 12 year old me wanted something that sounded cool

My name is Ezra. But someone had already taken Ezra (and prolly only posted 2 times). I couldn't get Ezra. or Ezra_ to work so I tried Ezra_S and that didn't work, so I ended up with EzraS. The S is for Shey (pronounced shay) which is my middle name. My family calls me Shea as a nickname. Others call me Ezzy as a nickname. I like Ezzy because it's like Ozzy, as in Ozzy Osborne. Maybe I'll have E-Z-Z-Y tattooed on my fingers like Ozzy did with his nickname. If you're still reading this I'm impressed, I never would have gotten this far without falling asleep.

I chose my name from one of my favourite films when I was a teenager - Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

The Save Ferris mantra is used in the film to highlight peoples gullibleness and naiveté.

It is also the name of a ska punk band.

I thought I was going to be into London and England forever when I joined. In other words, I was young and stupid. :lol:

I wanted to distance myself from the SN I used on other sites due to problems getting along with members & wanting a fresh start. I was joining a minor site & couldn't think of anything so I picked my nickname & just added the 007 after it cuz it sounded kewl. I'm not even that big of a 007 fan. I mostly liked playing Goldeneye for 64. I was in the same predicament when joining more major sites so I just kept using this.

Nothing inferior about potatoes, they're excellent for most typical dinners here. So many variants, for so many meals. Boiled, fried, mashed...

*drools*

I should eat breakfast instead of posting! :lol:

Prior to this I was on an ADHD forum & back then my short term memory was about the length of a Goldfish's which is believed to be around 3 seconds. I think just goldfish was taken, so I added the 21 because my birthday is the 21st.

Denis Istomin is my favorite inspirational tennis player. He overcame great odds to become successful on the ATP tour.

AceofPens was my name on a school forum back in ninth grade. I was obsessed with writing at the time.
