Don't forget that your name was originally "The King s Daughter", before I forced you to get rid of that awful spacing. :evillaugh:

American Eagle... patriotic name + epic bird = me.
And really expensive T-shirts.

Awesome t-shirts. If I ever wear name-brand clothing (lol) it'll be American Eagle. \:D/

I was 12 years old and obsessed with fantasy creatures.

I guess I should be thankful 'The Hobbit' didn't contain any unicorns or talking dolphins or something... :ache:

I was trying to come up with a username. I couldn't think of one really great so I used my last name, Peachey, and adapted it to the phrase "peachy keen."

Being a Final Fantasy nerd I was when I was 10, I really loved the weapon one of my favorite characters was wielding which was a gunblade. Apparently I made up a name for gunblade users adding a "r" at the end. When I first attempted to input it as my username on a different form (Nsider) I accidentally hit the number 3 button.

So thats how I got my name. Though there is a misconception about me liking guns. I never had one nor do I plan to get or use one ever in my life. I personally believe its stupid and it should be taken out of our constitutional amendment. Times change and I don't think its relevant in todays world. Well there I go, being off topic. Each to his own.

My birthstone is an amethyst (awesome), and amethysts are purple (awesomer). Plus, everything's cooler when you add a suffix to it. It's a nice set of letters; a very aesthetic word, I think. (Hmmm... though it might've also looked cool with an 'x' on the end of it. \:D/ )

Thanks. :D

Mine is boring. My name is Christian Alexander. When I entered the blogging and commenting world, I noticed that pratically everyone had a fake name, so I thought it would be fun and unique to use my real name. Well, I'm not so sure about fun, but it is definitely unique. People recognize me on other websites from places like the Odyssey Scoop and The Soda Fountain because I always use the same name.

lolz I'd probably be dead without my Conceal Carry License.

Anyway, my best friend and I always played "army" at recess when we were little kids in elementary school and one day in like 2nd grade I said we should name our "team" and he said "How about The Top Crusaders?" and I thought that was cool so we used that in our play as kids and basically for the 20 years + since then we have drawn hilarious comic books featuring our adventures as The Top Crusaders. \:D/ There is a thread about that somewhere on the board. >_> But yeah we were fighting Islamic Extremists way before it was the cool thing to do. >_> Plus on wrestling games etc we name our tag team that.

And anyway years after that in I'm thinking 98 or 99 my family finally got our horrible PC with Windows 95 online with an AOL disc that came in the mail, and I signed up for an AOL account as "thetopcrusader" and soon thereafter joined like a Godzilla forum under the same name... so HA I basically stole the name all for myself! \:D/ While that AOL address is long deceased I have basically stuck with using thetopcrusader or The Top Crusader on most forums and when I stumbled across the original Town Hall in 2001 or 2002 I usually signed my name as that (I don't recall actually registering until it was a phpbb board).

So yay. \:D/

When I wanted to register on Town Hall, Watson and I were attempting to come up with a good username. Several ideas were suggested and then tossed out, but Watson was the one who finally suggested Laura Ingalls. \:D/ It seemed to fit me well, so I typed that in, and the rest is history. Now I use Laura Ingalls on most places that I need a username. :yes:

Mine originated because, at the time I joined, Sherlock Holmes was probably one of my favorite works of fiction of all time and, secondly, it didn't seem right to have a Watson but no Holmes. ;)

Long story but I'll only tell it once per forum. ;) When I first started getting on the internet I joined a Narnia forum (The Dancing Lawn, come over and hang out sometime) and I (unfortunately) had the username "gondoriannarniangirl" O.o All the usernames I'd seen before were insanely long like that and I didn't realize it was like even possible to have a short and sweet username. Eventually I got tired of typing it out every time I logged in and shortened it to Gondorgirl (adding the capital letter, thank the Lord) and have gone by that on countless sites ever since. I quite welcome the shortening "GG" though.

Why do you think? O:)

*ahem*

I took care of a bird for a friend once while they were on a cruise, and the bird's name was Angel. That was back when I was 12, and I've been using it since. (though for other usernames I use my last name as well and call myself TheSilverAngel or something).
