    My old name, Nashida, is a name I've carried around since maybe middle school. I was trying to create an OC for Yu-Gi-Oh, who also had her own ancient spirit, but the spirit needed a name.

    Looking at my old Pokemon cards one day, I stumbled across an artist with the surname of Nishida. All I did was swap the I with an A and the rest was history. Since then, the name was my FF.net handle, the name I gave to a different OC of mine, and has basically become my signature of sorts. People call me that as a nickname more often than my real name's nickname.

    For my current username...check Bulbapedia.

    I always read it with an i that wasn't there.
    libregkid
    Libre (Free)- guh-kid
    I figured the g was a typo and he was "free kid" and just stuck with it.

    I think it was a full year into my time here that someone pointed out there was no i >>

    Oh god I feel your pain, I do that all the time

    You know for the longest time I thought Suicune was spelled with two I's instead of two U's

    Suicine

    When I heard people saying swee-koon instead of soo-ih-seen I was naturally perplexed

    On topic:

    My dad called me Machazo when I was little (It comes from Macho Macho men) and I've used it as a username in pretty much every site I have an account in.

    Most people believe my name to be a rename of shadic, the sonic and shadow fusion character, when instead its actually a fan character i have made, i even have a fan character picture of him, but the picture is in my dead group T.T

    I commonly use a few names, but SonGoku is my most common. I use this name really because the other names were taken and/or my old names don't work. Sooooo SonGoku is my name.....for now.

    i was trying to think of something new. i always used Pianoman, but i think i overused it. So, after some thought, i came up with Void of Self. pretty basic and fresh imo.

    Darkhelment232: Back when I was a n00b, I thought helmet was spelled with an "N"...so yeah. Also, I think it was when the KH2FM secret ending was new, and I tried to name myself after Vanitas.
    The Graceful Assassin: Few reasons, one is that at the time, Marluxia was my favorite character, and the other one was that I was sick of people making fun of me for Darkhelment232.
    Dark Helmet: Wanted to go back to my origins properly, and I mostly use Dark Helmet as my username. I want to change it to something else sometime in the future, but I'm still trying to think of something.

    Friendly_Heartless: Because I had a character in an RP before this site that was called Friendly Heartless because she was a different shadow heartless that could talk, feel emotions, and was... friendly. xD

    Maka: Finally decided to get a name change, and I was obsessed with Soul Eater at the time.

    Kim Possible: I think some of the members on here called me that for some reason so I just decided to switch it out because it was funny. xD

    ℳeridα ➸: Because I stumbled across a new Pixar movie trailer and instantly became obsessed with it. (I WANNA SEE IT SO BADLY!)

    Miss Me Ni Mienai: (current username) Me Ni Mienai means invisible in Japanese. Obviously I changed it when I was in an angst mode.

    But no matter what... everyone sees me as Maka. :3

    Plums vi Britannia: Name I registered with. :'D I was eating a plum at the time and was obsessed with Code Geass. Also, Orange was taken. >:L

    Ploo-Hems: A nickname Luna Lovegood gave to me after we spent a few minutes messing with each other's usernames. xD

    Plums: Original username shortened because I did not feel like typing "Vi Britannia" in when I log in.

    Suzuha Amane: Staff Steins;Gate fad and also my favorite S;G character. ;w;
