I've seen really clever username on this site, and I've also seen some that I can't explain. Why did you chose this username???

Well I chose christie_greece because I wanted something rellevant to AC. My real name is Christine, and my friends usually call me Christie. But the username christie was unavailable. I really liked it thought, so I decided to change it into christie_greece so that anyone can see I'm greek and forgive me about my mistakes in English. :D

This is my story. I look forward hearing your stories!!!!

There is no real intresting story behind my username! Brigid is my first name and McMorrow my last, so I kind of combined them.

Mine is Snowy Mountains Mick (all one word in my user name). Pretty simple, I was working as the Manager of Security at a prison far, / afforestation camp in the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales, Australia, when I had to come up with a username for another online community. First thing that popped into my head, it has been one of my nicknames ever since.

"nathatanu0"

nothing clever.. I don't wanted to waste time on choosing that clever username !!!

so, "nathatanu0"="nath"+"atanu"+"0"

"nath" is my second name which means "SAVIOR"... 

"atanu" is the name of the God of Love in Hindu Mythology, the meaning of the word is as follows:

"atanu"="a"+"tanu"

"tanu" means "body" or "appearance" or "form" adding an "a" is a negative effect... so "a-tanu" means, the one who has not own any body... that is who is form-less or have no physical appearence... God of Love was burned to ashes by God Shiva and after that as he lost his body he was named as "Atanu" but his actual name was "Kamadev"... "Kama" is the same that of "kama-sutra"... "Kama" means love or passion... and "sutra" is "formula".... 

Lastly I will talk about the "0" at the end... "0" I always add at the end to remind myself that in this whole universe where even the age of earth is like a bubble to the ocean of the time scale of the Universe... so I am nothing but "zero"... so that is why "0"...........

I chose A_N_Omynous for a few reasons. First, similar to U_N_Owen (In And Then There Were None), my username would be anonymous. I realized that if I switched the 'n' and 'm' it would be pronounced 'ominous' which I thought sounded cool as an Agatha Christie username. So I ended up with A_N_Omynous.

My username is sort of the pronounciation of my given name (Nahuel). In Spanish we do not pronounce the "h" so my name would be like saying na-uel (stressing the second part). But I thought it would be cooler to add well, which sounds similar to uel in Spanish.

My username is simple.  I was born and lived in Belgium until I was 38 and then moved to Ireland.  So I'm Belgian in Ireland.

Fascinated by the story behind your username, Nightrayduck, I'd been wondering about it for some time. I chose Nofret because I love Egypt, not only as a great place to holiday, but a fascinating ancient civilisation to study. Really enjoyed Death Comes as the End, what a lot of research went into the creation of Imhotep's household. Unfortunately I found the heroine, Renisenb, completely wet and uninteresting, so took on the persona of the dark, sultry temptress (I'm actually blonde!)

Belgian_Bulldog

I chose my name because I have been saying for many years that, if I ever got a French bulldog, I would name him Hercule, and whenever anyone said, "oh, what a cute little French bulldog," I would say, in my best Poirot voice, "he is NOT a little French bulldog!  He is a little BELGIAN bulldog!"

LOL! Nice idea :)
