my first internet username:
i didnt really put much thought into it to be honest. I was having a really hard time thinking of a username for Nintendo's NSider forums when registering for them back in 2005, so i decided to just turn my GBA on and sift through the pokemon in my box in fire red to see if i could find any inspiration in there. I had recently traded over a level 60 Blaziken from Ruby and was looking at the moves it had and thought 'hrm. Sky Uppercut. maybe attach a couple random digets at the end in case that's already taken. hence, skyuppercut60. nsider however rendered all letters in all users names in all caps, so every username looked something like this:
when i decided to register for forums other than nsider i thought i would just keep the all caps look, because i thought it looked cool at the time.
my current one:
stems from the name of Yuki Nagato from the anime Haruhi Suzumiya. Doing some research on the name led to me finding out that 'yuki' is the japanese word for snow, and snow is cool, so I thought it would be a cool username. Except, I recently found out that, apparently, the words for 'snow' and 'hope' are phonetically identical in Japanese, and aforementioned anime character's name is spelled with the kanji for 'hope', not snow...
