What's the meaning behind your username?

[FoxAndChicken]

Mine is because I'm a logic major, and our school has a late night taxi service that takes you home from the library when you're studying pretty late. Every time I've taken it, I've had almost the exact same conversation. "So, what do you study?" "Logic! It's really fun stuff!" "So, have you heard the one about the chicken, the fox, and the bag of grain?" "Uh, yeah." And I'm usually too tired to explain that that's not what I do. (I think that question falls under graph theory, actually.) But it's funny to me, because I get this question so much, and it's always a different person. I think it's kind of like when math majors tell people they do math and someone asks them what 26*32 is.

[sjoh197]

When I started my undergrad... the university assigned you an email with a preselected username. After 4 years, it was easier to just keep using if for everything because my fingers are lazy and don't want to type something new. 

[slantyeyes]

my asian friend had a username "thicklips"

[reddog]

my dog has a reddish coat.

[Microburritology]

I love Qdoba burritos and I'm obsessed with Microbiology 

[knp]

For some reason I thought it would be clever to use Leslie Knope's last name but to take all the vowels out. I must have been very tired haha

[Need Coffee in an IV]

I love the show Gilmore Girls and Lorelai is one of my favorite characters on the show. Plus I love coffee.

[ETRXRock]

Extra-terrestrial rocks rock. 

[HylianScholar]

I'm a huge Legend of Zelda nerd and an aspiring scholar.

[MarineBluePsy]

Marine Blue is a type of butterfly that I think is pretty and I dig Psychology lol.

See my signature! RC are my initials.

it's basically my full name with a lot of letters left out

[Feanor]

It's a long story...

[vonham]

My tortoise's name is Elektra Von Hammershmitt. So Vonham 

[knp]

@Feanor I always did prefer Fingolfin (that duel!) but Feanor's not bad either

[Tigris]

Bengal tigers are one of my favorite animals. I was tired and thought it sounded cool at the time. (Also, my username is secretly a Hunger Games reference.)

[gingin6789]

Nickname given to me by my softball coach originally.

"*enthusiastically when I arrived for practice* How ya doin', Gin-gin?!" 

[Demeter]

Demeter is a goddess of agriculture with a cool story. I like mythology. I thought it was fitting for two reasons. 1) I'm an agriculturalist, and I have a hat I wear in the fields that my friends call my agricultural goddess hat. 2) By using the name, I get to use creative commons art for avatars, which is helpful, because I am not photogenic, and I like to maintain an air of mystery on the web. 

TL;DR. I'm an agriculturalist. It's a joke about a hat. I'm not really the goddess of my field. 

 

 

[CuddlyWingman]

Combination of my old gamertag "SnoopysWingman" and what I nicknamed my Jigglypuff that solo'd Firered back in the day, "CuddlyDoom". So, yea.

[HardPromises]

It's the title of the Tom Petty album I was listening to when I created my profile.

[RNtertainment]

I'm a registered nurse, and I love movies, music and video games. 

[A blighted one]

It's a reference to one of my favorite novels, Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles.

[Cat_Robutt]

I clearly love cats, as my avatar is a pic of my cat; and for some reason it highly amuses me when people pronounce "robot" like ro-butt, so a phonetic spelling was used here.

[bugabooo]

My sibling and I have similar sounding names, so my dad has been calling me bugaboo forever. That was taken, so I added another o. Bugabooo.

[cpctc1]

Back when I was learning geometry proofs in 9th grade or so, I thought CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent) was so fun to say. It's been my username on a bunch of different sites ever since.
