I have noticed that many people use usernames that are either confusingly spelt or capitalized and that people sometimes care about these things as much or more than their real names. Discuss your username and other peoples'. With abandon!
I'll start it off. Note that I like names. I'm completely obsessed with them.
My name comes from Latin, but I first encountered it when reading The Aeneid by Virgil. It basically means "the process of determining by chance", though many people simply define it as "casting lots". It shares a base with the French word sortie, which isn't really surprising, since French is a Latin language. :P
I use it because chance is an interesting concept to me, and I've got a bit of a dose of the "Luck of the Irish". Plus, it contains my real name, which is Titus. :)
It is pronounced sore-TEA-tooce (flipped "r", if you can manage it), but people tend to pronounce it as sore-TY-tus.
Spelling is sortitus, always lowercase.
Nicknames are easily acquired by knocking sounds off the end, and some that have been used in the past are sor, sort, and sortie (or sorty). Titus is acceptable and I'm used to it, but I've gotten rather fond of my screen name.
I have used Titus as a screen name, but the name is often used by others, and sometimes those others are dumb. I only use Titus as a name when I'm in a place that real names are common (handy, since the username is hardly ever taken at places like that).
I was the only sortitus until this year (since 2006, when HS ended and my friends and I found fancy new names that we thought suited us), when another dude used the name for a WoW character. I do not play WoW. Also, this guy seems to like capitalizing the first letter, so maybe we'll be distinguishable. Any posts by a sortitus before 2009 are me. Sometimes I wish they weren't, but I'd rather learn from the past than try to erase it, so record of my idiocy as a youngster lives on. And on in this post. I'm a rambler. Sorry.
QUICK! Post about your username! Discuss other peoples'! Push this post off the active page already, dannit!

Mine is really simple to understand once you get down to it. (And I'm sure those who knoww me or talk to me often will go "Yeah, that's her all right.")
RainbowRose was my original user (like, back when the 'net started getting popular, and I had to go to the library to use it). It's based on an OLD natie american legend where a guy gets it as a wedding present from the garden of the moon god. (good story too. But way too long to explain.) I have always loved roses, and don't really have a favorite color, so of course I instantly fell in love with the rainbow roses. (Side note: a company in the netherlands now makes rrs. And doesn't import to america. *cries* But if you want to see them, just google happy roses.)
However, after a while a lot of people started using RainbowRose. Well, being the vain child that I was, I wanted to say I was the FIRST to use the name of RainbowRose (and for a long time, I really was. I was able to use it as my handle everywhere for the first two or so years of my internet use.) I would have made it original, but 1, that's way too long for most websites, and 2, at the time I didn't spell original the same way twice (I still have issue with that word.) So I made it first. Since I've only had one problem where someone tried using it on a website, and they were kind enough to hand it over to me once I explained the story behind it.
So, that's mine. Simple enough to pronouce and if you search for "firstRainbowRose" "1stRainbowRose" or any varient you can find, that's me. (I did a google search one just out of idle curiocity. They're all me.) So if you see it on another site, drop me a note.
I forgot to add that as far as shortening is concerned, I've seen a lot of different ones, and don't have any that I hate or love. So, just call me whatever really.

Strider Aragorn, Ranger dude from Lord of the Rings. I used 'strider' it on a MUD I played over GOPHER at my local library while I was in Jr. High (so about 1991) and kept it as my username. After that, I had the same story as RainbowRose where it started to pick up everywhere and so I just started to use StriderA instead.
-
I'm pretty sure everyone knows how to pronounce my username. It's very simple. Just two words. Normal pronounciation....yes.
Origin, though. It came from 7th grade (approx 1999). We had a substitute teacher who knew my brothers (who were each referred to as "Wilson" since my last name is Wilson), and when he came to my name on the roll he looked up and said "Oh, so you're the little wilson." I did not appreciate this comment, since in 7th grade, I didn't like being short. And short I was, and still am. Unfortunately, I had friends who took readily to this name, and dubbed me it for the next 2 years....until I finally actually liked it.
So yeah. It's been my handle ever since about 2001. Or 2002. Somewhere in there. Don't bother googling it. There's way too many results. Most of them not me, too. Although, if you can find actual posts and stuff--or myspace pages--that's probably me.
As for spelling. I prefer, if the full name is used, for it to be all lowercase.
Nicknames. My name gets shortened all the time. Wilson is probably the most common--and the one that I most prefer. I've also seen lw, little w, lil wil and a few others. I've even seen 'Little' once. The last is slightly ambiguous, since there were multiple people in the discussion (it was on a forum similar to this), and it really could've been directed at someone else too....Hence why I prefer more direct nicknames. Like 'Wilson.'
...And that is the riveting description of my username.

My first user name was "fatbob". The origin was simple: it was the name of my snowboard (K2 Fatbob), which I loved. However, like what happened to firstRainbowRose, it turns out lots of other people like to use "fatbob" as a user name, and it was always taken everywhere I went. Well, I refuse to suffix my usernames with numbers, so naturally fatbob was out.
The name "ryos" was given to me in high school by my brother's "anti-friends", so called because they were "anti-everything" in a joking sort of way. They were obsessed with giving everything and everyone a "greek" name, which they concocted by tacking the suffix "-0s" on a word. My name is Ryan, so they called me Ryos. It's pronounced as you might expect—rye-ohs.
It turns out that "Ryos" is almost never taken. When it is (or when a service stupidly doesn't allow names as short as four characters), I use "cheleball", which has only failed me once. I came up with that one on my LDS mission to Nicaragua. In Nicaragua, "Chele" means "light-skinned". Since my name is hard for spanish-speakers to read/pronounce, most everyone just called me Chele. When I needed a username for the church-run webmail service for missionaries (and it wouldn't take ryos), I took "chele" and tacked the first bit of my last name (which is Ballantyne) on the end.
Ironically, it's very difficult for english-speakers to pronounce this nickname (I say it's ironic because the name stemmed from the inability of spanish-speakers to pronounce my real name). It's read like a Spanish word: chay-lay-bahl.
There was one service where cheleball was taken: ebay. I fell back on the anti-friends again: I used "ballantos". I like the way it rolls off the tongue, but it's a bit long so I haven't used it for anything else yet. Maybe that will change someday...
Yup, my nicks are boring. Oh well.

I think it's interesting that so many of us have a screen name that we used to use but got rid of because other people use it.
Those roses are awesome. I like the tulips better, but the roses are wicked-sweet. (link to the site for the lazy) (http://www.happy-roses.com/) I really thought that your name meant firstRainbow Rose (as in the first rose after the rainbow). :P I'd love to hear the story it comes from. Does it have a name?
stridera, I'll be honest. I started this thread partially because of your name (the other one was Eerongal). Your username is all lowercase, and I didn't know how to pronounce it or shorten it (I was thinking stree-DARE-uh, which sounds kinda girly). I saw your blog (with a capital "A"), which helped with the pronunciation. Do you prefer using lowercase? Is Strider ok?
LW (it's ok to do the initials caps, right?), I'd say that your name gets shortened because it would otherwise take 13 strokes to type. I'd say that mine and stridera's are borderline, but anything beyond that is asking for trimming. 7-8 characters seems to be the max most people want to do. Not wanting to type "titushilton" every time I logged into a service that required a username of 6+ characters is what made me start using the name OL.
ryos, I totally thought that your name was either a fantasy/RP name or some Greek god. I was also pronouncing yours wrong. I was saying the slightly different RYE-oss. It's quite a fancy sounding name regardless.
My friends and I called each other by our Roman names for a while there. Good times. I was Titus Andronicus, the others were Kendalius Caesar, Downius Coximus, and, uh, err... Matteauwoo.

Cthuhlu
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu
Kefka
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kefka
;D
I dunno, this has been my Gamer tag for the longest time. Just a simple combination of two of my favorite evil characters.
-
I can't seem to find a good copy of the legend as I found it, so I'm going to post it to my blog *gasp* and update this with the link. It will be a nice writing activity for the night.
-
I amazingly got both references in your name, CK (is Calvin ok?;)). I spent too much time playing FFIV as a kid because it was the only console RPG I had access to. Turns out it's also a darn good one! Cthulu will always have a special piece of my heart. He also stole my innocence. And my illusion that all "classic" authors could write. Mostly, though, I miss my aorta.

Mine should be pretty easy to figure out. Andrew because (you'll never guess....) that's my name, and the Great because I first started creating random accounts for various sites at about age 8. At the time, I thought that 'Andrew the Great' was a pretty epic title. I still don't think it's bad, just lacking originality. But I've never changed, mostly due to the fact that no one else uses it as a handle anywhere and I'm too lazy to switch. Then I'd have to remember various usernames and passwords. Well passwords, I already do for when some services decide to require more than 8 characters, but it's still better than changing both my user name and password.
Spelling.... Can't get much simpler. I'd probably cry if anyone seriously misspelled my name. I've never seen any other spelling for Andrew, and if you can't get 'the Great,' you might have more serious problems on your hands.
Only nickname I've ever really had was Andy, which I hate with a burning fiery passion. I've only ever had about 2 people call me that. The rest say it just doesn't fit me. I agree. In the meantime, I attempt to not strangle the other 2....
Pronunciation.... Pretty Self explanatory.
So yeah, for the most part, my username is a result of my laziness.
-
Most people call me Strider whenever they're talking to me. :)
-
My nickname was created by me! So far as I can tell, it's fully unique. Searching google for it only turns up stuff I've signed up for. I've used it since about the mid 90's when we had AOL. The way I created it, was I opened a user directory, and I decided I wanted a unique nickname, so what I did was jot down three user names, and took portions of them to make a unique name. The first username began with a double E, the second one was Ron and some numbers, and the final one was something like Hot_gal and some numbers, so i took the double E, Ron, and Gal and mashed em together.
Unsurprisingly, it pronounced in a similar manner, Ee-Ron-Gal, though I hear people pronounce it Ee-Ron-Gall, but mostly (those who don't know) I've heard them say it as e-rongle (the last part pronounced like dongle)
I generally capitalize the first E as if it were a proper name.
As far as nicknames for it, my friends usually call me either E, or Eero (pronounced like e-row)
-
Alright, so as far as I can recall, this is the first time I've ever used the handle "Recovering Cynic" on a forum or website. I've used lots of others, but never felt a particular attachment to any of them, and none of them were especially interesting.
Actually, Recovering Cynic is more of a combination psycho analysis/statement than a username. I was a cynical pessimist growing up, but I didn't want to be. I harbored those warm fuzzy romanticized ideas deep down somewhere, but I hid them well so nobody knew I had chinks in my armor. Two things happened though: 1) a lot of those ideas got crushed by some of the brutal realities of the world, and 2) I pretended to be a cynic for long enough that it happened. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but, well, it happened.
As a cynic I loved poking fun at the world and the over romanticized optimistic view points of so many. Despair.com was one of my favorite websites, and I even had one or two of their calendars.
But then two more things happened; I had a broken engagement at about the same time I went to law school. Between the two, I hit rock bottom. All of those "funny" posters I saw on despair.com were no longer funny... they were accurate. They were true.
I threw them away, stuffed them in a drawer somewhere, and decided it was time to take a fresh look at the world with a new attitude. It wasn't easy, and it's been a rough climb since then. I'm still cynical, but I'm no longer trying to be. In fact, I'm trying the opposite; I try to be supportive of those around me and keep an open mind that things will not always turn out the worst way possible. I don't always succeed; it's a work in progress. I'm a recovering cynic, but, unfortunately, by their nature, cynics are very skeptical of recovery.
-
That's really kind of cool, Recovering Cynic.
Despite my user icon, my name has nothing to do with the Green Knight (which is an interesting tale, but unrelated). The Jade Knight actually relates primarily to a character in a world I wrote. Some 15 years ago I started writing a book featuring him, but I didn't get very far, and I don't think I'll ever write another story where he is a protagonist; he's simply better "NPC" material, if you take my meaning.
Additionally, I had at one point imported him into RhyDin and played him there (FFRP). Anyway, I'm the only Jade Knight I've ever run into, but the name has been taken in various places. Whenever I can't get Jade Knight, I fall back on the username Knighted Dawn (which to date has never been taken anywhere I've tried to use it). The character behind "Jade Knight" is essentially a sort of fictional alter-ego for me. That, and the fact that I love green and deep jade stones, and I'm all into Medieval stuff, makes it a particularly appropriate monicker. On rare occasions, I'll go by "Knight" or something similar.
Nickname is usually Jade, which I don't mind and is natural. I somewhat like the name Jade, and in the past (some 10+ years ago), I've gone by Jade + other things. Occasionally I get called JK or jk, which I don't really prefer, for 2 reasons: 1. jk = "just kidding", and also, J.K. Rowling.
-
I always said ryos as one syllable.
My nickname's from the filk rock band. I usually use my real name nowadays though.
My sister knows someone in Estonia whose actual name is Eero.
-
My sister knows someone in Estonia whose actual name is Eero.
Yeah, I know Eero is actually a name (a fact i found out years after being called it)
but i've honestly been unable to find anything on something ever having used Eerongal for anything, be it name, person, place, thing, or just a word. So until i find something to contradict that, I assume it's unique to me, though it's honestly doubtful that's true, since i'm sure something somewhere at some point in time in history has probably uttered/used it.
Unlike a friend of mine who always uses "Tinari" (he got it by modifying Tan'aari from D&D) and later found it's just plain a real name, and occasionally has to deal with someone already having the name picked.

Wilson can probably tell you more about my current TWG handle than I can. ::)
Most everyone's probably caught the reference to the David Eddings character Silk. Yes, that's who I'm named after (and no, I didn't actually know the character when I was first... ah...shall we say christened?).
A few other TWGers (I think it was Wilson, CthulhuKefka, and maybe GreenMonsta?) were trading snarky remarks over the then-incarnation of the Stupid Titles thread, and comments were made about my questionable morals. (Student of Deception, remember.) So, I am a Bad Person, and apparently I remind other people of Silk. Voila.
As for my actual username, which I use almost everywhere but here, Raethe was the protagonist of my very second attempt at a novel, and the very first that came anywhere near approaching the scope of an actual novel. It's one of those skeletons in the closet that I don't really like to talk about anymore, 'cuz while endless rewrites brought it respectably close to book length, they didn't make it good.
This was the Golden Idea. I came up with the character and her story - and wrote the first draft - at twelve, and did at least two complete rewrites through high school; trashed old drafts and rewrote it beginning to end. (Or perhaps not to end. I apparently didn't finish my latest draft of it, though I came close; but I don't remember if that was a complete rewrite, what number it was if so, or whether it was one of my many editing passes). I planned sequels. In fact, a friend of mine and I had plans to co-author at least two sequels, one focusing on each of our darlings' stories. We planned to switch POVs - and authors - every chapter. I think we got maybe three or four chapters in.
I was also starting to get into forum-based RP games at the time, and so the name - and often the character - started to wander online. I started using the name for pretty much everything online. Even when I go by a different handle, or in online conversations with people who know my real name, I still get addressed as Raethe most of the time. Again, except for here. :P
It's only been taken in a couple of instances, Skype being the only one I can remember at the moment. If you do a google search for it, you'll probably find me... but not just me. Apparently it's actually a somewhat popular boys' name in Germany... and here I thought I invented it!
I have no idea if this link is still there, but I also found a fantasy drawing of some character named Raethe, on a DevArt or something. Someone commented about how the artist had "really captured his soft soul", which some of my friends quoted at me nigh-constantly after that. It irked me, you see. Not only was I not unique - imagine! - but my character was neither male nor particularly soft-souled.
Also, I used to spell it Reathe, not Raethe. I changed it because people kept mistakenly pronouncing it "Wreath", another thing which used to annoy me unreasonably. (It's pronounced like "wraith" if that statement makes you wonder. Which means I can't write stories about particular kinds of ghosts anymore. Habitual spelling gets in the way. Yes, I actually did write about howling Raethes once, or something along those lines. It was late.)
Well, this was ... incredibly boring. Sorry?
-
Huh. I always thought it was "ray-thee(rhymes with tree)". Good to know the proper pronouncation.
-
Interesting, Raethe...Silk....Good to know. And it's fantastic to know I was pronouncing it right. I wasn't sure if I was.
Just so you know, Monsta was the one who dubbed you it. I believe it was after you were talking about throwing fleas on other people on other paths...And you said you were a spectacular shot (this convo was with Kefka, I remember, and I think it was around this time when I said honor is lame....).
Anyway. Yes. Did I ever mention that I have an incredible memory? Scary-good, is what it is. No normal person would remember conversations that took place about 8 months ago....
-
I do get Raethey, rhymes with tree, on occasion. Not the way the original name is intended though.
As long as that's your spectacular memory and not your spectacular lack of life, Wilson, I'm not too concerned. :P
-
I suppose it's better than a specular lack of life, no?
Sorry. I always think sound-alikes. *headasplode*
-
I am a frog and probably have the easiest name on here to pronounce so I hope you got it already. Now if only I had a interesting/embarrassing reason for being a frog....
The truth is I don't use many online things and this is the only place where I am referred to anything other than my first name, so I kind of panicked when it came time to pick a username. I came up with frog in the end because I have zero imagination and a wonderful sister that liked to call me Frogger as a kid because of my wide-eyes. And the quote, 'Have a popover, Froggie,' comes from a real old Muppet movie, The Frog Prince, where the evil witch wanted to stop the frog from revealing her secrets so she force fed him popovers. So in context, it means 'shut up, frog,' which is something I feel people wanting to tell me anytime I start typing since most of my posting is snarky comments over in RE. Yeah, so it all fits. Only drawback is most people assume that I am a boy until they learn better. Ah, well. :P
-
As long as that's your spectacular memory and not your spectacular lack of life, Wilson, I'm not too concerned. :P
...And if it's both?

Good excuse to convince all the guys to kiss you?

Just for fun, I figure I'll talk about ALL my usernames/Character names. ;) (Also, small Japanese lesson... and because I'm bored and procrastinating from actually writing... damn internet)
Strider/StriderA - Already covered.
fates_endless_destiny - Yahoo IM - I had [email protected], but linked it to a SBC Global account (which is run by yahoo) back when I was stationed in Monterey, CA. When I moved, I canceled my account, and they canceled my username... even though I had it for a good 5 years before linking it. Grr. fates_endless_destiny was created when I joined some poetry writing groups on yahoo groups, and it's stuck ever since. I still can't get stridera back... :/
All my other names were first thought up in games... well.. even Strider was my first character on a Mud.
Utaboshi - Current protagonist in my book. Japanese for 'starsong' Started as a Everquest Bard->WOW Pally
Kuragari - Utaboshi and his sisters last name. Japanese for Shadow/Darkness. Rogue in WoW
Gishiko - Secondary Character in my book. Gishi is japanese for Feigned death, and ko is added on to mean child. Basic idea was Child of Feigned Death/undead child. or something similar. Started as a Death Knight in WoW.
Other (relevant) WoW characters.
Hikari - My main WoW character. Tauren Druid. Means Light in Japanese.
Samui - WoW Frost Mage. Means cold in Japanese.
(Note: I quit wow a while ago after spending 4 nights a week raiding for really nice equipment and then having it all turn to crap overnight when a new patch came out. Decided that when it became a second job, it just wasn't much fun.)
Old MUD Names:
Rhuarc - Warrior. Stolen from WoT; Gonff - Thief. Stolen from Redwall Series; Trider - Cleric. Hacked up Strider. Majix - Mage and Braveblade - Warrior... no imagination there.
Other.. non-cool usernames...
6506437 - icq; mjones - work alias;
Wow, you actually read all that?
-
FRR - I always said you were pronouncing Raethe weird ;)
Hmm, my name? Well, when I was trying to think of a username in oh, 7th grade, I wanted something that sounded cool. So I took Chaos solely on the basis that it sounded cool. The numbers I must have generated from nowhere. There is no story behind them, but they always seemed attached to the "Chaos" part of my name since forever.
Yes, numbers aren't original. But hey, at least it's unique...
-
I didn't make up my name. It was given to me. One of my friends who was a BS fan long before I was,made this account for me. He knew I was an Alcatraz fanatic so that's were my name came from. My full username though is BastilleVianitelle but I shortened it.
-

That would be extremely awkward with that whole 'they assume I'm a boy' thing. No, I think I am better off waiting for a face to face contact. I heard it works better that way.... ;)
-
Why would somebody assume that a frog was a boy? In my experience, frogs' genders are about as split as humans'. Human frogs (or humans that call themselves frogs), OTOH, are more likely to be girls. Because frogs are one of those "cute animals".
Having never read Alcatraz, I assumed that Bastille was a reference to the place. As in Bastille Day. Then I read all of these strange things not quite referencing either the place or the user, and realized that something fishy was going on. The spoiler thread gave you away.
I once went by Maeric. It was only after I stopped using that account that I found out that Maeric is an Aiel. Ah, my subconscious is great sometimes. Lodestar, veeee, and piggydog are older, with the latter being the oldest. I doubt it's possible to find anything relevant under piggydog. I haven't used that since 1998 or something. Those are all of the names all I can remember.
Ee, I meant to reply to your post earlier, but it slipped my mind. I thought you were a girl until the Pie VS Cake thing because of the "gal" ending. :P I thought there must be some deep story or non-english root type explanation. *Bill Nye announcer voice* Now you (I) know.
-

Haha, nope, i'm a guy. What was said in the great pie v cake debate of 2009 that gave it away, out of curiousity?
that's the first time that (i've known) anyone mistook me for a woman. Though this could be because most people who know the username either know me, or it is in some form of game, in which i always (generally) play male characters.
Also: Don't frogs change their gender if the conditions are right and it's needed or something? That would honestly be kinda cool to be able to do that. Every morning be like "Hmmm....do i wanna be a guy or girl today...?"
Honestly, on the internet, I just go with the basic assumption everyone is male until told otherwise, as there's supposedly more men using the internet than women
-
The username I use here and everywhere else was created by myself. It's in reference to the feeling you get after being awake for an unhealthy amount of time. You know that your mind just isn't right and you begin to bable about nonsense but it just doesn't matter. I created the name after me and a buddy of mine stayed up for 56 hours straight. Not a record by any means but I could literally sense my sanity beginning to slip but I was Comfortable in my Madness.
-

I've heard that before.... I think it was on Jurassic Park. I don't know if it is true though....

Interesting....
I don't know why they assume a frog is a boy. But I haven't been here terribly long and it has happened a few times. Usually I just ignore it though and revel in my top secret identity. :P
Edit: According to this article, african reed frogs can change gender, but usually from female to male. And apparently some shrimp, orchids, and tropical fish do it too....

That is EXACTLY where I heard it from. I figured the book would be right about that African frog....
As for other usernames. I only have 2 others.
ktiger13--my first creation. Taken from the first initial of my first name, my favorite animal, and my favorite number...
lord_otter--my newest creation. If anyone's ever heard of the color personality test, the last time I took it, I was predominantly yellow (motivated by fun). Well, one of my friends knows of another similar personality test, only this one isn't color. It's animals. Results are Lion, Otter, Golden Retriever, and Beaver. Apparently otter corresponds with yellow on the color, so my friend told me I was an otter....And I attached 'Lord' to it simply because 'lord otter" sounds so much cooler than "lady otter."
-
Ah, Ee, I just realized that it wasn't the Pie VS Cake debate, but another thread that was active at the time (http://www.timewastersguide.com/forum/index.php?topic=6952.0). On some sites (most non girly-topic forums) I assume that most users are male, but on a literature-related forum I expect a fairly close split.
Yeah, the frog thing was a joke of sorts because they can change genders. I have a frog colony in my back yard, and some days you pick up David and he's Dana and other days you pick up Rachael and she's Robert.
In personality tests, I get a fairly even split in the three colors (but blue usually comes in first by a little bit). My white is off the charts in the negatives. I hate white people.
CM, the feeling of being awake two or more days is so awful. I don't know why I do it.

My name is the same i use on Guild Wars and i comes from a Dragonlance book i read in 5th grade...Kaz is a big minatour and his family was full of gladiator champions so there :P
-
Just gonna list a couple off here and be aware that most of these are gamer names.
Paranoia- I thought I was cool and that I was so good that I caused Paranoia in others who played against me. Unfortunately it proved to be untrue.
Blitzchlag- Given to me from one of my old friends, means lightningbolt in German to the best of my knowledge
CrazyLlama- Attempt at being creative
For the last few years I have used GreenMonsta for everything. Sometimes with numbers sometimes without. Seems easy and lets some people know where I'm from with out asking (only if they are baseball fans). I like to support the team and everything (in this case the Red Sox). Its kind of a Boston pride thing. May seem stupid but its good enough for me.
