    Tell us about your username. What's the story behind it? Why did you choose it?

    Mine is basically the word for colorless. I wanted to have a name which was similar to Achroma from Pokémon Black 2/White 2 (Colress) so it fit pretty well.

    Mine has a bit of back story to it to be honest.

    It first started when some friends and I wanted to create japanese nicknames for eachother, by looking up a word that best described us at the time. My friends chose "kindness" for me, so it was originally going to be "Shinsetsu". But then my friend Becky decided to look up my literal name *Because Amber is a regular word too* And it came up as "Kohaku". So that's where the main part of my username comes from.

    Chan is simply a title the Japanese use for a girl, or someone who is younger/smaller than you. It can also be used for pets. The number 19 comes from how old I was at the time I started using that username.

    Hmm. Well, I had 3 usernames, and I'd better go through all of them.

    AgentSpook:

    I learned that an FBI agent could be referred to as a "Spook", so I decided to be stupid and redundant, and make that my username.

    Remorph: After I repented of my sins, I changed my name to something cooler. This was the result of brainstorming for 30 minutes. This name has nothing to do with anything, and it just has syllables that sound nice together.

    Spire: Later, I decided I needed a more common username. I thought of the obvious. Then an uncommon one hit me: Spire. I still use Remorph, btw. So if I say I'm on a website, and there is no Spire, I am likely Remorph.

    Well, my username comes from my own name. My name means wind so by adding "y" I made it sound cute. Plus some of my friends have said that my name suits me well.

    As for the 15, it's not just because of the fact I was 15 when I came up with the username, I just generally like the number. ^_^

    It comes from Achroma and Colress, it means Colorless.

    My username came from Pokewificastle, a very old site that hazzard made, I forget exactly how it was made, but thats where it came from. As for the nickname PM, that also came from that site, its just the initals of PokeMaster to form PM.

    I created my name in October 2009, and didn't use it until March 2010 when I finally got my YouTube channel. At the time, Gen V hadn't been introduced. The first thing I thought of was, "There are 35 legendary Pokémon right now, so why the hell not?" So I just said TheLegendary35, which you'd think would be a name someone would have already come up with out of random.

    Long story short: 35 legendary Pokémon in Gen 4.

    My username...was created because it was the first word that came to my head at the time of registration.
    Plus I think it sounds kinda cool lol.
    Although now I kinda wish I chose a different name/word xD

    I made my username back in 2009 before I created my deviantART account. Delthero was the name of one of my dragon characters that I made (I made the name by just stringing letters together), so I just used his name for the name of my account. It's been my default account name ever since.

    Well, I have a brief history about my username. The first I had was 101DalmatiansWiki, due to the fact that the first wiki I joined was it, but some other members of another forum told me that it was too long so I made it to 101DW, but then again, my dalsona, named Note was more appropriate so, there it goes. Note 101DW... I kept the username for quite some time but recently, just the previous month, I became a hardcore Snivy fan so... completely ruled out Note and changed it to Snivy 101DW. As for the DW, well, it's pretty obvious since I just told you guys about it. But you can still address me as Note 101DW, Snivy 101DW, or simply 101DW.

    Well, mine actually came from a phase I had back in high school. I went through one of those "emo" phases. I chose the name Damien because I had watched "The Omen" about a week prior to starting my phase. The ZD comes from the middle and last names I was given by my group of friends: Zaryn (given to me by my would-be girlfriend of 3 months lol) and Demise (we were all very depressing, so "demise" was perfectly melancholy!).

    When I joined PGEF, I was obsessed with Dark-types, and Damien sounded good for a Dark-type trainer. I took the "Zaryn Demise" and condensed it to "ZD".

    And there you have it! Just call me Damien though. If I get to know you better, you might just get to learn my real name 0.o Only Satix and Achromatic know it...as far as I know. lol
