What is the meaning behind your DOA username?

Jan 21, 2015

    1. mimi is just a short nickname to my first name miyaku then hime because im japanese and im known for being a weeb/hentai queen , mimi the weeb queen, also some of my friends and bf just call me princess unironically
       
    2. Averia is actually named after one of my BJDs, but there’s also a reason why I chose this name for a BJD. I was at one point, an obsessed fan of Final Fantasy XIII’s Lightning. When I found out that she was supposed to be named Averia instead of Claire Farron, I found it nice and I figured I’d adapt it and give it a new identity. I also have a BJD named Claire though, so it just shows how much of a fan I am of her.

    3. Matafleur (a.k.a. Flamestrike) is a female red dragon in the Dragonlance book series. Her part is very small, but I cried the first time I read it, and the name stuck with me.

      She fought many battles when young, and retired when she lost her brood to war, taking refuge in a fortress and protecting humans there. She grows old and is pretty much senile (to the point of calling the humans there her "children") when the fortress is attacked by an army with a much younger and stronger dragon. Her will to defend her "children" is so strong she fights the younger dragon and charges with him to the side of a mountain, knocking it down and burying the both of them, saving the humans there.

    4. I'm studying Korean and my username on tumblr and discord is "taichas" which means Thai Tea in Korean. My favorite drink!
       
    5. Honestly..? I just really like teeth lol. I have a mini collection of human teeth (mostly my friend’s!) and I just think it sounds nice :XD:
       
    6. Helg is a name of my doll. He embodies a character from a book that few people know. But I love this book and this character. The character's full name sounds like Algirdas, but he was often called Helg.
      This character is a part of me, so we both called Helg)
       
    7. somewhere back in 2006, I played the computer game Newerwinter Nights, there was such a half-elf race, they were called Rivvil in the game, since that time it is my nickname, by which many people know me, even without knowing sometimes a real name
       
    8. I played Dragon Age Inquisition, and srote some fanfiction and the name just stuck
       
    9. Mines mostly the fact that I love fantasy genre and nagas were always sooo pretty to look at. (I also love mermaids!)
       
    10. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeealy old nickname. One of my friends pointed out my ears where kind of pointed and I was always reading fantasy novels. So elfy stuck till a little past college. I've moved so much and drifted from any of the friends that had called me that, so now this is the only place I use it(and thats entirely because of the username rules)
       
    11. Slytherin because back when I started this account I was pretty young. Cupcake because I love cupcakes and also because of that scene when crab and goil eat the floating cupcakes and pass out lol xD :D <3
       
    12. i love sandpipers.
      also, this
       
    13. It's my name and my game! Hahah :)
       
    14. My name is my Orc Shaman's name in World of Warcraft, I love her dearly..

    15. When I was playing D&D one time, my character used this spell to create an illusionary world to get out of dangerous situations. She didn't want to get out - it was funny. The DM made all the cute little bunnies turn rabid. Then my friends joked about 'rabid bunnies'.

      I use the name everywhere. I misspell rabid on purpose to get the name on most websites.

    16. It's a lyric of the White Stripes song 'Fell in Love with a Girl', "red hair with a curl". Not-so-incidentally, that describes both my own hair and what I'm planning for my first doll.

    17. Ha! Mine’s just sort of a pun on my middle name, Rosalie. I play a lot of nun/priest/holy characters in video and table top games so I guess that helped inspire it too.
       
    18. I received a Magikarp plush (a fish Pokemon). I wasn't sure what to name it so I asked my best friend to help. They named the Magikarp "Megikarp" after me, and I spiced it up to Meggiekarp so it doesn't look like a misspelling.
      Unfortunately there is an actual person named Meggie Karp so the username was sniped on IG, FB, and Twitter. So I also use Meggikarp.

      Edit: forgot words
       
    19. They're my initials, and I'm a writer. Quite boring. :p
       
    20. Mine’s not meant to refer to the web browser. I just think it sounds cool. One of favorite animals are foxes and fire fox reminds me of kitsune. My favorite number is 7, so I just added another for no real reason.
       
    21. I've always loved mermaids and I'm lowkey convinced I was a mermaid in a past life :p
       
    22. Mine is the name of one of my beloved oc's! With how old the site is, I was surprised it was available.
       
    23. Stella is my special hamster and dolls is obvious :lol:
       
    24. ShiroOtaku is my alias i use since i have a online presence other than my dolls and other hobbies that i like to keep private, shiro is my favourite character from ‘no game no life’ and i relate to her a lot, and otaku because i do quite literally relate to the term even though its treated as some sort of meme by a lot of westerners.
       
    25. It's a running joke between one of my best friends and her old livejournal username.
       
    26. Mine is from one of my favourite books, 'The Dumas Club' by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. It got turned into the Johnny Drop film 'The Ninth Gate'. In the book, the main character is described as putting on an expression like a 'honest rabbit' whenever he wants to trick someone. Its such a bizarre description so I went with that!
       
    27. Erza Scarlet is my favorite character in fairy tail. C added on to make it sounds nicer.
       
    28. EmbyQuinn was the original screen name shared by myself and my lifemate. M is the first letter of my given name (Margaret, if you're wondering), B is the first letter of my beloved's name, and Quinn comes from O'Quinn, our shared last name. Eventually, my beloved got another screen name, and I kept EmbyQuinn...and became something of a name in the kisekae and fanfic worlds.

    29. SaeyoungChoi00
      I used to be a huge dork for Mystic Messenger and Saeyoung Choi was my favorite character
      00 comes from that time I bought a jersey-styled shirt and it said
      "Saeyoung
      00" on the back
       
    30. Haha, my name is pretty simple, I suppose. A long time ago, I used to love this Youtube beauty guru named Fafinettex3. That fact that the "x3" represents a heart is something I never got rid of, so I used it in all of my online aliases as an adult. Dollie Love is just that..I LOVE dolls! (I collect 3 different types now :)
       
    31. I really liked a poem as a kid, so I've used the same username based off the poem for years!

    32. There is no deeper meaning behind my name I just like prezles ^-^
       
    33. I made this account just over 6 years ago when I was making an OC and named this account after that OC, I no longer draw and don't even remember this OC's back story. I also used this name as an alias for a time, but since coming out as non-binary I just straight up go by my new identified name every where. It's kinda cringey seeing this name on like all of my old platforms though, I was not creative and everything just got the same name :doh
       
    34. My username comes from my universal username across the internet. My best friend nicknamed me "caiterpie" because my name is Caitlin and then the nickname turned to "caiterprince" because I want to both be like and be swept up by a princely person! Now, it also represents what I plan on changing my last name to! Caitlin Prince!
       
    35. This is the name I use everywhere. long story short, my old username I used for art was from my high school era, and when I was around 25 I couldn't handle it no matter how I tried to change it so I pretty much when full out change.

      It's pretty much 100% just my favorite number and I have a healthy obsession with space. That and my gaming username is Ohrion (added in a silent h to make it so I could use orion without numbers xD) so continued with the star theme in my life. Was Ventisette Stelle but was too long for a handful of sites so I mixed the italian with english. I also use variations of _27_stars when I need to have an alt account. (I use 27星 for pixiv and am low key in love with it being read as nijunana hoshi)
       
    36. I used to have purple hair so my friends dubbed me as a grape lol, so it's just grape in Japanese. Clever, I know :wiggle
       
    37. A long time ago, when I was a 10-year-old kid and thought that gibberish was as good as actual Japanese, I made up a screenname for myself and my very first online OC. I used that screenname absolutely everywhere and for everything until I decided to change it; DoA is probably the only place where I still go by this screenname.
       
    38. I just used my first name and the 2 X's. I've been a member for years and I wish I had picked something more creative ! I guess I didn't really grasp the concept either of a screen-name at the time...
       
    39. :aheartbea
      I used to make kiseake dolls a long time ago when I was a teenager!! I still have some saved on my computer :aheartbea

      My username is of Jareth from The Movie Labyrinth purely because I wanted a username that reminded me of my favorite singer David Bowie :aheartbea
