    Yeah, so I made one of these like a year ago and it exploded in popularity.

    Let's do it again!

    Cat<3 Sora-I was a noob who enjoyed KHII Sora's appearance and personality.
    SkyCat-Rissy gave me a cute little nickname and it stuck.
    Skitty-Playing off of the previous name [and boy do I regret this choice. Thanks a lot Ace...]
    Catastrophe-Because I thought it was cute and had played around with the idea before.

    Misty -> Pokemon character
    Mighty -> Misty was nicknamed "Mighty Misty" in that episode with the biker gang.
    82 -> My favorite number, at the time.

    Everyone called me Misty, though, so I shortened it in I believe early 2007.

    Hm...I'm not sure why I stuck with Droid, I believe it was the username I had back on my Playstation. The "4" is because I come from a family of 4 brothers, so for whatever reason I've had that on there. The productions bit was simply for my AMVs and such, when I joined I didn't realize I was going to actually use the forum(that worked out).

    I'll either shorten it to Droid or come up with something else when I can change it.

    Tedeum --- I was in Spain thinking of a player name for Dissidia on my PSP. I pull out a brochure listing all the churches that would have Christmas parties. One of them was Te Deum, so I decided to fuse both parts of the name into one. The way I wrote it turns out to be a Satanic cult (everyone remembers that thread), and not a church.

    Te Deum --- The proper way to be spelled. The full name is Te Deum Laudamaus, but I didn't think Misty was willing to make another name change.

    Llave de Espada: Chose the username because I had taken Spanish in High School and really loved the language. Llave=Key, de=of, Espada=Sword; Thus "Keyblade" in Spanish.

    Before the native speakers of the language kindly point out that the 'de' is not needed, I shall say that it isn't needed. However, I like having it in the middle, gives the name a visual balance.

    EDIT: Pronunciation of 'Llave' if interested:

    The double L in the front is pronounced as a 'Y'. The 'E' at the end is pronounced, giving a "vay" sound. Thus, it would sound like this visually; Yah-vay. (Argentinians pronounce the 'Y' as a 'J', so it would be like "Java", only Jeah-vay.)

    I think the "de" in the middle works fine, actually.

    xJayn: My original name. For the longest time I didn't remember why I had the 'x' in front of it. Now I remember that one of my first Youtube accounts was "xJayn" because "Jayn" was taken. So when I signed up here for the forums, I guess I just picked xJayn.

    Then I went to Jayn because it made more sense.

    Pop Tart was a joint theme with Machina. It was a nickname for me.

    ЅЎRINGЭ was for symbol play and emo-ness.

    Ms. Jayn Vi Britannia was due to my obsession with Code Geass.

    Lovely-Chan was a joint theme with Lilbueno. Nickname.

    Κιαіяε†сяоѕѕ symbol play and compulsion. Around the time I started talking to Fuzzy a lot. He was Klad and I was Klaire and it was a weird RP thing. aisodjasda

    Jayney was a joint theme with Janime.

    Ai Enma was because of my obsession with Jigoku Shoujo.

    Lovely❤Chan was another theme with Bueno.

    Lady Beatrice was due to my obsession with Umineko.

    ℒєη кαgαмιηє ★ came with gender confusion and Vocaloid love.

    ℳαяια Uѕнιяσмιуα more Umineko and loli obsessions.

    кenny was because of my South Park anime fanart obsession. Hnnng. Also, more gender confusion here. It's when I decided to come out about being male.

    Mrѕ. Claus was for my first actual Christmas theme.

    тяαgєɖу ❥ more symbols and angst.

    ιммσятαliѕт ♡ obsession for this song called Immortalist that is epic, imo and I liked the sound of being an immortalist.

    Dяєαмscαρє ✿ I was feeling really creative and inspired during this whole name change. LIKE MAGIC.

    ĸyoĸo ѕαĸυrα ❀ Hello Madoka theme.

    My Nobody name. I had worked it out about a year before I joined and was itching to use it somewhere. Plus, I like the way it sounds. Locks-air. ^-^

    ARiA

    There is no hidden meaning behind my name, it is an L added to a previous username on another forum, a username which was taken here. ARiA. My name is Lili. I combined the two, or borrowed the first letter from my name and came up with the brilliant-- LARiA. And there is nothing special about ARiA, I regret even that name. I suppose I could try to assign it meaning, aria, a single solo voice typically of opera. Well. I like opera. I sing. I am rather independent, go solo. Pariah. An outcast. Well, that is also quite fitting, to say the least. But really my name has none, had none when I thought of it. Derived from a Vocaloid animation I came across so long ago, thought the animation nice...

    Tim anagrammed with an x in standard Organization XIII style. I used a lower case to make it easier to sign in (I was used to having separate log-in and display names) and then just became too stubborn to change it. I was convinced to capitalize it as my fifth year anniversary on KHV. I had been debating making it "mixT" or "mIXT" just to annoy people, but wussed out on the trolling opportunity.

    You could go with the video's definition of ARiA "Autonomous Reactive Integral Attribute" I'm not sure how they landed on that either but take a close look at 0:13 in the video.

    The Fallen : I really don't even remember why I picked this. I think it was inspired by Avenged Sevenfold, when I used to like them.

    Trigger : I wanted to make it Devil Trigger because of Devil May Cry, but I think Trigger by itself sounded much cooler, so yeah.

    Royale : I just liked the word a lot.

    The Jackal : Inspired by my obsession with Far Cry 2 at the time. If I remember correctly, The Jackal was the main antagonist of the game.

    Jerome : My stupid real name.

    Banana : ... I think this was just a random thing that happened for no real reason.

    TR1GG3R S3R10U5! : Inspired by Mega64, plus it already had my original name, so I thought it was neat.

    Sonata : Inspired by Eternal Sonata, one of my favorite games.

    jeromeasaur : idk, It was random and I liked dinosaurs and blah blah who cares.

    HєaятŁєzz : I was infatuated with Kanye's new album at the time, 808s & Heartbreak and I really liked the song Heartless.

    Megan Fox : I can honestly say I don't even remember changing it to this.

    Triggymon : Ander helped me pick this and it sounded cute. :3

    mgmt : I was obsessed with MGMT at the time.

    Đissidia : I really liked Dissidia at the time.

    : I just liked the idea of a single heart being a username.

    自殺 : I'm pretty sure this is 'suicide' in Japanese. I was pretty depressed at the time and yeah. Whatever.

    Sleepyhead : This was always my name on MSN and I loved the song Sleepyhead by Passion Pit.

    Andy Warhol : I liked the guy.

    Tyler, the Creator : I was into his music at the time. I still like it but the Odd Future fanbase is just horrid.

    Bravo, I hadn't ever even caught that. And I have seen the video too many times to count.

    ArchAwesomeman - Normally when I make an online account, as a gamer, I choose Awesome1 or ArchAwesome1. You know because it sounds like, "Awesome One" meaning I am the awesome one. >> I dunno why but I chose to use "man" instead of "1".

    Starkiller - Oddly enough, I had a complete Zack Fair theme with this character. I chose the name because of The Force Unleashed. I never chose the name Zack Fair because how common it'd seem. >>

    Crimson - I started a short-lived "red" theme. People changed their names to various shades of red. I just thought Crimson was cool.

    Ghost - Eh...I liked it.

    R€D - Named after the band.

    Arch - Shortened version of ArchAwesomeman.

    Baron von Kickass - Pulled this from Mana Theater which is a flash comic based off one of the greatest games ever created. Secret of Mana. The main character jokingly calls himself "Baron von Kickass". Oddly enough, it kinda fit in with how my original username was so...yeah, it works for me.

    Firion - Firion, from Final Fantasy II, is just awesome.

    Jimmy Page - If you don't know who this is then you have lost your right to exist.

    ArchBadassMan - Meh. I was messing around.

    The Other Side - Name of a Godsmack album filled with nothing but acoustic tracks. They're really damn good going acoustic.

    Coyote Starrk - Name of the Primera Espada from Bleach.

    Z.E.R.O. - Character from Megaman X. I like X equally but after hearing some remixes of songs from the Megaman Zero and an awesome album cover, I just had to change it to this.

    Tєrrα -After(or even slightly before) BBS was released I'm pretty sure I was the first person to get this name. Obviously I'm not the first ever to have it because it's a pretty common name.

    Princε - Got this because of the Prince of Persia (2008) game.

    Machina - Badass Final Fantasy character. I'm glad I'm the first person to jump on the Type-0 ...er...bandwagon? >>
