Writer's Block: A rose by any other name ...

Huh... I just realize, you guys might not know... it's so simple, but I love it. And it's so nerdy.

I made my LJ when I was first getting into geekdom and fandoms. And one of my first real fandoms was Lord of the Rings, which I still absolutely adore. And I was enough of a fan that I would actually go online and find fansites, particularly ones that had English->Elvish and Elvish->English translations.

And then one fansite had a section under their Elvish section that had name translations. So, naturally, I looked up my own name there, and it's "Ardhoniel." Which is, phonetically, Arthoniel. Which is, as you may have noticed, my username.

And that's how my username was born~ And I've never regretted it- I still lurves it these... wow, about 3 years later.

What about you guys? If you didn't make a post about it, how did you come up with your usernames?

Mine comes from Kingdom Hearts. When someone loses their heart, they become a Nobody. The name of a Nobody is an anagram of their previous name + an X. So Sora -> Roxas and Ansem -> Xemnas and so on. I am Elizabeth, so I am -> Zalixethbe. :)

Oh wow, that's so cool! I mean, I didn't know that about Kingdom Hearts to begin with, but that you did that to your own name too is awesome~

Haha. It sounds unique and clever now that I'm not so much in KH fandom, but back in the day I certainly wasn't the only one. In fact, I've even met someone else whose username was a Nobody form of Elizabeth!

Fff. Well. Now it sounds unique, and that's what matters, amirite? XD
