The Reason why you chose your username

[m2017]

There is nothing surprising and intricate in the choice of my nickname. 2017 is the year the account was created when I came to the bitcointalk, and "m" is the first letter of the word member. Now I would carefully consider and most likely choose a different nickname, but since it so happened that I got this nickname, then let it stay that way. In general, the nickname itself is not so important (although some are still more noticeable), how important is the person who stands behind it and what contribution he makes for the benefit of the community.

[Shamm]

So, why do you chose that username?

Hmmp to tell you honestly this username I choose is that little bit funny or sounds crazy, I choose this username it because in my school before there's one girl I like the most and my schoolmates and friends called her Shamm not her real name.  Them A while ago when A friend of mine introduced me to this forum then I decided to create a username like the nickname of my idol.

Quite often I see your post in several previous threads, when looking at your username it reminds me of my late grandfather because my late grandfather's first name is the same as your forum name "SHAMSUDDIN". Sham has a very good meaning "Candle", it is very appropriate to attach the name Sham to your school friend's girl.

Sham symbolizes charm and charisma, he is someone who has charm and wants to be the center of attention, the name Sham has a personality of Expansive, visionary, adventurous, and constructively uses freedom. Your decision to make a username like your idol's nickname is very right because your forum name has a very good meaning.

It's nice to read this and I am very happy to know your late grandfather's first name which is the same name as wy Idol. Shamsuddin is a nice name and meaningful and as you said above that sham represents charm or it will make us lucky. And another reason why I choose this username is to be unique and meaningful. And also I know that every one of us here in the forum has a dept reason why they chose thier username.

[sheenshane]

Usually here for sure came from their nickname "ekename" which means an additional name.
There's a sole purpose behind choosing your username and the main factor could be a security reason to cover anonymity, we need to pick a different username either our nickname any words, numbers, or symbol that comes up in our mind, or a combination of our real names.

But before picking a username, it might be good if you'll research it first.  Back then I saw a newbie that has been red-tagged because of accusing impersonating a well-known member here, like for example our admin theymos. 

The reason why I choose this? 
It's because it's my nickname and I know it's genuine and it's impossible to impersonate other people.

When I first came to the forum one thing that marveled me was  the different usernames displaying. Then I asked my friend and he told me that, it is to hide identity.

And a thought came to me that even though it is to hide identity and they chose the name, there must be a reason of selecting that username.

So, why do you chose that username?

I didn't think to hide my identity and used my real name as a username on bitcointalk. Though for me it does not matter much if my real name is revealed on the forum but later I thought it would have been better to choose a username that was not related to my real name. I tried to search on how to change our usernames but later I found out that it is almost impossible to get the username changed. Anyways now I am OK with my username as my real name.  

[skarais]

For no apparent reason to me, this is something spontaneous when in my memory it's just about someone I might still be dating. Many people have reasonable reasons why they chose a certain name for their account username, but I don't and even regret that I haven't had the chance to change this username.

I've requested a username change, but it probably hasn't been approved by the admin for years since then. But since then, I started to be proud about this username because the past shouldn't let me down for a long. Lol

There is nothing surprising and intricate in the choice of my  general, the nickname itself is not so important (although some are still more noticeable), how important is the person who stands behind it and what contribution he makes for the benefit of the community.

This is indeed a deep taught, how important is the person behind the nickname is what matters most, a username is just for physical identification but what makes unification is the real identity of the personality behind the name and that tells much better of the person than the username itself, how effective we are in contributing to the forum, how committed we are, these give the real interpretation of whom and what we stand to represent, the content of what we carry is more weightier than the username we carry.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Ryu_Ar1 has a special meaning for me because in this username there is my love for my child.
The word Ryu itself is taken from my child's middle name, as for Ar is the initials of the first name and last name while the number 1 represents the 1st child in this case.

[Myleschetty]

I choose my username based on a film I watched about an 18years old smart boy and very hard working. He was able to take care of himself by working part-time and making sure he finished his college education despite he has no parents.
When I first saw this topic I smile because it's a funny question but there's a point to it though.

did you not try again for now? What I know about name changes that can be immediately accepted are forum donors, staff, VIP members and some members who do have trust and important contributions to the forum.

and regarding the selection of usernames on this forum I did use my real name, because at that time the name "taufik" was already available and had to add a few characters so I spontaneously used the number 123.
The names of senior forum members are also unique, they may have certain reasons for using that name, and like you who spontaneously created a username until now, it has become your unique identity.
By the way, what is the meaning of the word "skarais"? I never found that word in my dictionary


Look at the names of the top members, they have a unique name and it becomes a permanent identity that everyone knows.

[finaleshot2016]

it's just my game username, im too lazy to think for a new one.

[Rruchi man]

And a thought came to me that even though it is to hide identity and they chose the name, there must be a reason of selecting that username.
So, why do you chose that username?

Not all our usernames are to conceal identity, some users on forum are answering their real names, not their complete names, but their real names. My username is an extract from my business name. It is a name that has stuck over the years from being called by most of my customers who I have delivered satisfactory service to. When I joined this forum, I couldn't think of any other username to use.

[skarais]

By the way, what is the meaning of the word "skarais"? I never found that word in my dictionary

Hahaha, do you really want to know? But I guess I should keep that privacy a little bit, mate.
Let you know, skarais is meaningless in the dictionary, but there are many stories about that choice of name that I don't want to talk about right now.
This username was a spontaneous choice, but behind it all there is a story I don't want to remember. Just forget it.

By the way, I'd also like to have a real name for my username, but since my chances of changing it are bit, so skarais will remain.

Using moniker (username) isn't excluded to this forum alone. It's the norm when it comes to social media. People want to keep their privacy offline and enjoy the highest level of freedom of expression that ordinarily eludes them in real life.

For me, I had to make my username special at the time I was picking it. My moniker isn't just a  name out of the blues. It was specifically picked to reflect something close in my life at the time I did.

[uchegod-21]

Username in other forums and other social media's is still the username we have here. With or without privacy in mind, everyone must have a unique username. Two people must not have the same username but two people can have the same name. I didn't bother myself so much by choosing my username because it is just a dialect name divided into two, one part the starting part is dialect while the other is a universal name. The number at the end means when I began to appreciate the knowledge of bitcoin.

[BITCOIN4X]

For me, BITCOIN4X is something very special because bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency I heard of before signing up for this account. I have no other reason than that bitcoin was my first investment in crypto, and I absolutely love to spell this name with BITCOIN FOUR X.

The most special thing is, I managed to rank up to Legendary after being down due to the new requirements for newbie when I was Junior member. I never forgot about it, and now I'm in Legendary after 4 years.

[Ultegra134]

I don't have the fancy reasons others have, such as to preserve anonymity or because I was a cryptocurrency trader. I used to be a competitive cyclist when I was a teenager and had recently purchased a Shimano Ultegra groupset for my bicycle. Thus, I came up with Ultegra134. The numbers don't represent anything but were mostly used when my desired username was taken. This is the only forum I've used so far and will probably stay that way. I guess it represents the start of my cryptocurrency era and the start of competitive cycling. 

A little boring since it doesn't have much to do with cryptocurrencies, isn't it?

[Frankolala]

So many registered members here,when registering might want to use their real name or nickname as their user's name but you will found out that if your name is an English or common name,it will have been chosen by the member who registered before you.

In such case,you will be confused first, you have to think of another name or your native name or a name which you have come across and you love the name to be your username. Everybody have a reason for this.

As for me when I was registering, I chose Frank,which is my name because its a popular name,I was told it has been chosen by another user. I thought for awhile and decided to use a name I know can't be used by anyone which is Frankola,after writing it down something told me what if this name has already been used by another user,I decided to add LA to make it double which is my username Frankolala.

I got the name in school instead of Franko which is normal a close friend that I met new do call me Frankola.

[Zilon]

I don't think i have a reason for choosing my username. After i got introduced to the forum i had to type in a username i will always remember. The forum was my first time of seeing anonymous online community where real identities are hidden so i made a choice from what i could relate with. No special reason behind my username

[Daniel91]

Interesting question.
I chose the first part of my username, Daniel, because it is similar to my real name and because of the true, original meaning of that name, which means "God is my judge" in Hebrew.
The second part of my username, 91, refers to the year 1991, which has a special meaning in my life, and no, it is not the year of my birth, as many think.
It was a year that was a big turning point in my life.
For now, that's all about the meaning of my username and why I chose it 

[Mpamaegbu]

Thus, I came up with Ultegra134. The numbers don't represent anything but were mostly used when my desired username was taken.

I've always associated numbers on usernames to believe those numbers mean something special to the users. Sometimes I believe it could be the user's date of birth, wedding date, date they got something uplifting, etc. Yours is an exception from what I've seen as you said the numbers on your moniker were randomly chosen and didn't represent anything to you. Look at what I meant below 👇

The second part of my username, 91, refers to the year 1991, which has a special meaning in my life, and no, it is not the year of my birth, as many think.
It was a year that was a big turning point in my life.
