There was a thread like this, but it was a year old. Therefore, a new one is okay, since we have some newer members.
My username was derived from my childhood love of Sonic the Hedgehog; more specifically, Super Sonic. I came up with it when I was 10 years old. It's not too creative, but it works. ^_^

Once upon a time, Rushia was a character in one of my stories. When I joined fanfiction.net, I needed a username but all the other ones I tried were already taken. So, I decided to use Rushia. When I joined DA, I thought that "Rushia" needed something more, so I stuck "lady" in front of it. Now, LadyRushia is the name I use everywhere.

It's taken from the name of
this kid here, who is basically the most awesomely designed villain in D.Gray-man. I'm bad at thinking up names for myself, so I just stole his. It was very convenient.

by Chrysolite
'Chrysolite' is the name of a character my younger sister made up for a story we were writing with our cousin a long time ago (I'm not sure, but she may have gotten it from the Bible's references to the stone chrysolite). Anyway, she thought it was a really cool name and I do too. ^-^

What's in a name?
Usually some letters.
But seriously, I have the user name 'Warrior 4 Jesus' because I'm a Christian and I aim to fight for God's truth in all I do.

My username is from way back when I was in Middle School. I was writing a story that had a character in it that looked rather like Snow White - it was an embarrassingly maudlin Beauty and the Beast/Phantom of the Opera ripoff and I destroyed it long ago, in fear that someone would actually READ it...The story I obviously am no longer proud of, but I never got over liking the name.
Oh, and since people have asked me this on other forums, Wyntre is pronounced like the season, not wintry.

I used to be called Sparky in church because I was so energetic. Then my name got changed to Sparks when I started playing Halo. (I was really good at getting people with a SMG) I then decided to replace "ks" with "x" since I liked Spyro games so much. As for the "00" I just threw that in. It has no real meaning, but It's the end hook to my online name. I guess you could say it sets me apart.

by Davidizer13
My first name + -izer13 = Davidizer13.
Why 13? Probably because that's how old I was when I made it up. Besides, 13 is a cool number. It's prime, y'know.

Okay, I have a good explanation for mine...
I originally had "Arya" as my favorite character from another website (also 'cause I love the book Eragon by Christopher Paloni). The "Raiin" part of my name stands for my two favorite manga: Immortal Rain and Wolf's Rain (thus, the two "I"s).

[font="Trebuchet MS"][SIZE="4"][color="RoyalBlue"]Well, for those who don't already know:
The first part of my screen name "KhakiBlue" is a reference to my old high school uniform (Scotlandville Magnet High C/O 2003 FTW!) khaki pants and blue shirts.
The "Socks" part...well...that's a little more interesting...that actually came from this scene from "Digimon: Digital Monsters".
I just thought that Izzy's green socks were so funky and cool, I decided to tack "Socks" on instead of the normal "KhakiBlueBoy" I've used everywhere else.

Mine is Latin for "Before the War."
Basically, I wanted a unique username for CAA (And I hadn't come up with Daemon Jaeger/in yet.) I really like Latin phrases so I decided to look for something to use as a name.

by The Banner
A banner is also known as a flag that has a message printed on it. You could tell upon this that I want to become someone who makes a public message of some sort.
The meaning of my username is also meant to trick pessimistic people into thinking that I want to become a moderator and ban you all.

Once upon a time, I used to have a lot of AIM chats with cool people from this website who are no longer around (except for one). My AIM screen name started with a K. They took to calling me K-kun. It stuck, much like the androgynous real life nickname my parents hung me with, so I decided to accept it.

I never tire of telling this, because I always think it might make more people check the group out.
My username is a song by my favorite band, The B-52's. I picked it because I want people to see that I'm just a fun-loving, bright-hearted person. Most of their songs are bright-hearted and fun.

Fixed. XDD
As for me, once upon a time I played this really awesome game called Radical Dreamers, featuring one of my favorite characters from this really
really awesome game called Chrono Cross. The end! XD

by Jingo Jaden
Well, I guess my story goes like this.
The original username I thought about was JadenMetal, the Jaden part came from a game character called Jaden, I just liked it, and I was into metal.
I changed the latter part to Mental because I thought it would be more appropriate towards me judging from my life story.
Later I found out that Jaden meant - God has heard. So overall, it gave me the message that I had been heard, which meant alot to me. It is a pretty simple story, but it had some significance since I just found out after joining CAA. XD

I got it from what Ichigo calls Urahara for the first part of Bleach. While Naruto got me vaguely interested in other anime, Bleach was what made me go out and look for more, and while it's not high up there on my list, it's still the one that got me hooked on anime, so I owe a lot to it.
This username is now retired though, because Heaven's Sword is my new username to use everywhere else.

[color="DeepSkyBlue"] When I was a little girl, my parents called me "Corky." Once, I came to school with brown, curly pigtails, and everyone said I looked just like a little spaniel.

Once upon a time, I had a friend on this site who typo'd my name as "Rushiar" in the chat and has never stopped calling me that. The end! XD

My name originated from two sources. 'Myst' is from a game of the same name that I love! And 'Changing' is from my constant changing attention-span and focus. My parents love to point this out and how I change my mind way too much for one person. Put these words together, and it sounds cool!
