How did you chosen ₿itcointalk username at the beginning of registrations?

[SmartGold01]

Wait it isn't Rikaflip?
I guess we subconsciously place the 'f'for complete sounding.

Maybe I should ask theymos to change my name to Rikaflip. 

Tbh, I thought about it, to ask for a name change but I don't it would accepted as I don't really have a good reason for such request. And who knows, maybe I would even miss it if I change it.

I don't think theymos is that hard on people over here, maybe if you request for a change of name he would definitely do that. You are reputable enough to request for a change of name in the forum. However, my name came as something very differential from others, thinking about privacy as my real name are all local names which is far too long to have here. Putting down my names doesn't abide the rules of anonymity where bitcoin talks about privacy and decentralizations.

Ask him to change it back and forth randomly, just to mess with people

And who knows, maybe I would even miss it if I change it.

That's why I'm still LoyceV and not something much much cooler

[AYOBA]

The first day I had about the Bitcointalk, they said I need to create an so insert username, I was thinking which username I will choose that will they very okay and always they remembered for without forget and I’m a MTN agent so i decide to choose AYOBA.

AYOBA is a free message from MTN app that allowed every users to share and received messages without contact; that’s I choose to use it as my username then use the name I’m bearing at home.

Because as it that the name I’m bearing at home it will they very obvious to this forum, that’s is the purpose of using AYOBA as my Bitcointalk username.

The downside of this name generator approach is that I never really liked my username as the name "Rikafip" doesn’t mean anything to me.  

And I though that was your real life name or surname, same like some people think I registered as a young boy born in '98  

I think it's interesting that some of the legendary OG forum members used their real names as bitcointalk usernames, for example Hal Finney registered ad Hal with his real photo, and Greg Maxwell registered as gmaxwell.

[Rikafip]

And I though that was your real life name or surname

Who knows, maybe Rikafip becomes a popular name in Croatia. 

same like some people think I registered as a young boy born in '98

I have to say I thought the same when I saw your username for the first time as it is a pretty common thing, for people to use year of birth as part of their username.

I think it's interesting that some of the legendary OG forum members used their real names as bitcointalk usernames, for example Hal Finney registered ad Hal with his real photo, and Greg Maxwell registered as gmaxwell.

Or Laszlo Hanyecz. I think at the time they created their accounts (I guess) none of them expected for bitcoin to become what it is now. At least not in such a short timeframe.

[Different patterns]

This post just for fun, I am quite curious about "how did  you chosen bitcointalk username at the beginning of registrations? And why?"

For me I will share why I have chosen "Coolcryptovator" username for bitcointalk. Since I believe this forum is like a crypto academy so I wondered to create some username with crypto related. Then "Cryptovator" were came on my mind, but unfortunately this username has been taken by someone else. I could add some number with it (like 123) but it was quite annoying to me with username. So I  want to add something with "Cryptovator" except numerical. So I add "Cool" with it, because often I use this word on real life and online chat. It was become my habit to use "Cool" word everywhere. And that's how I have chosen my username "Coolcryptovator".

There is few interesting name on this forum. Sometimes I have been thinking how and why he chosen that username.

Wondering what about your username? "Don't Lie"
This post is just for fun and just my curiosity. Don't share if something private with your username.  Only share if it doesn't hit your privacy.  

I got my username name from my family ( Different patterns) although I have 2 games in my phone, Ludo and table tennis, I have older sister, also have a younger sister and brother  both of them like to play games whenever I drop my phone, they would grab it and playing games with my phone without my concept, nonstop until battery runs down, and it always make me upset whenever I see my phone is down I knew it them, so I always change the pattern of unlock my phone, my Older sister frequently use  my phone, anytime I changed  pattern I share it with her because she use my phone often, if my younger ones realise I change pattern again they will go and ask my sister because them know I will tell her, one day, my younger brother played a game with phone I collected it and change pattern again, so when my sister carry my phone to use, she tried to unlock it but not, she's called me,,mr Different pattern come and unlock your phone I want to use it, my younger siblings started calling me mr Different patterns too, that's how I got my username, I decided to use it as forum username.

[Mpamaegbu]

My username is a combination of the vicinity I lived at the time I stumbled on this forum (late 2016) and needed to create my account in 2017. It was one of the easiest decisions I made. I wanted here to be a memory for me and so I did two things. One was to wait until my birthday to create the account and secondly I picked two communities where I resided then and formed them into a single word.

Till date, I smile whenever I remember all that.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Mine was gotten from a friend of mine, back then in school we used to call her Lizzy meanwhile her real name is Elizabeth, we used Lizzy as the short form. One day the dress she wore was too beautiful on her, the next thing that came out from my mouth was Sexylizzy, since that day we forget her real name and started call her Lizzy, just to remember her because we was so close I decided to use the name as my username when I was registering on the Forum.

[General_Bitcoin]

In last few years we have too much talk about Generals in our country as many are blaming them for problems but still they are controlling all things without any problem just because they are powerful and no one able to challenge them I decided I can't be General in our country.
My friend refer me this forum as I was looking for something new as I have registration page I decided I could be General here for Bitcoin community I have done this.

[Franctoshi]

When I heard about Bitcoin newly, most of the seminars I used to attend then they usually asked this question, who is the creator of Bitcoin? And because people weren't this familiar with the name of Satoshi Nakamoto in my countryside and until the event that I won a prize for getting the name correctly. Therefore, as a remembrance and my passion for Bitcoin and the creator, Satoshi. I decided to include the suffix “Toshi” in the username I chose during my registration, and that brought me to Franctoshi.

[Cityhunter34]

Mine was gotten from a friend of mine, back then in school we used to call her Lizzy meanwhile her real name is Elizabeth, we used Lizzy as the short form. One day the dress she wore was too beautiful on her, the next thing that came out from my mouth was Sexylizzy, since that day we forget her real name and started call her Lizzy, just to remember her because we was so close I decided to use the name as my username when I was registering on the Forum.

The idea is a very good one because it will going to help you to remember her whenever you look at your username. However, my own username was the name that my dad normally called me when I was very small. He used to call me City then, so when I was trying to register in Bitcointalk forum I was a little bit confused about the name I would used, so on the process I now remember the name that my dad do call so I decided to add hunter34 to make it more lengthy.

[Mpamaegbu]

... just to remember her because we was so close I decided to use the name as my username when I was registering on the Forum.

In the words of humour merchant, Mark Angel – So, the track you're following is not your own? You thief the track. Therefore, you're attract–thief!

Anyway, I got notified that you quoted me. I rushed here so I could respond to that in order to clarify what you sought but sadly you've deleted that part 🤔

Funny you, well I wanted to drop a post on this thread then I saw your post which I found to be attractive and random thoughts came into my head, while reading your post after I have clicked in the Quote button, I started typing and I later realized I wasn't supposed to quote you.

Let me drop it here;

My username is a combination of the vicinity I lived at the time I stumbled on this forum (late 2016) and needed to create my account in 2017. It was one of the easiest decisions I made.

Here was what I was saying about yours, about your username. At first I thought the name you used was a name of somebody like a father of somebody, what I'm trying to say is that the name of the person is maegbu while you are the Mpa that's father of Maegbu, like putting them together Mpamaegbu, I don't know if you get what I said. That was what I said before deleting it, hope you're ok for seeing it now .

[Etranger]

I think that most users choose their username that is somehow related to crypto. It is logical, because they register on a bitcoin forum. But I went the other way. When I registered, I did not relate myself to the crypto world at all, it seemed distant, complicated and incomprehensible to me. I was not sure that I would stay here for long, because I have no technical training, and I felt quite an outsider in this community for a long time. I have a philosophical education, and I read a lot of literature. My nickname directly refers to this philosophical and literary work and to my feeling in the forum community at first.

[Perfectbaby]

I am so used to the word "Perfect" while making speaking and discussing with friends in real life to an extent most of them observed that when I speak I don't skip to use the word Perfect, at some point many of them began calling me perfectbaby as nickname so I got used to it and started including perfect to some of online registration and the rest till i had to come across this forum and i created account with the name Perfectbaby. But I wonder why it's that hard or difficult to change name without a good reason to change names.

[LGD2Business]

It doesn't mean anything special. "Let's get down to business". I thought of Eminem's lyric. I didn't think much about it when I picked this username. I thought I could do business here, and Bitcoin always seemed to me to be about money, especially "new money".
At this point, Bitcoin has become much more than just a payment method. It has become one of the most robust investment instruments. When I became a member, I didn't think I would be here for 10 years, but here we are.

I don't know if you get what I said. That was what I said before deleting it, hope you're ok for seeing it now .

Oh, ok. Yeah, I understood what you meant there. However, that's not how that moniker was formed or what it means, far from it. I won't even allow my kids call me Mpa. That's old school, kind of; I'm a modern man 😏. BTW, what happens to Nna-anyi if articulating the modern "Dad" would be too heavy for them to use?

[GbitG]

Hmmm, that's a pretty interesting topic!!!!
I would love to share my own opinion regarding through the thread topic.
 
When I was placing my step on this forum, I had no intention   to put my username like this, but when I thought, let's put a name that will remind me of my past. So that's why I kept my username GbitG.

GbitG is an abbreviation letter that stands for "Get Back into the Groove" Behind this username I have an identity hidden . Because when I was criticized in my family for not becoming anything, I decided in my heart that I would be successful and become a person. I will make my own identity. So that's why I kept GbitG as my username...  

[PX-Z]

Mine was from Anime called One Piece, the PX (Pacifist), it should be an N number after the "PX-" since there are many of them. Then a movie was released, and a new "PX" was made, which was the Film Z movie, and that's where the "PX-Z" comes from or the "Shiro Kuma." I guess who knows the anime will know this username tooo, I'm just a fan of the anime

Hold on, it seems like you don't like the Mpa, no need to imagine how local it may sound because I think that's old school style of calling you a father, don't worry it doesn't make you look old, is just for the time been and your children will love it, well I'm just saying because I saw you as one of the oldest person when I first joined the Forum, like an elder 😁. But come to think of it, Nna-anyi is good too but same as you see the first one Mpa.
