arthoniel[Error: unknown template qotd]
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?

Date: 2010-01-28 12:53 am (UTC)Okay, so I first started writing fanfiction back when I was 12/the summer before grade 8. At the time I was really obsessed with InuYasha, Yu-Gi-Oh and Beyblade. So of course, I wrote fanfiction for all of them and in my n00bness, wrote fanfiction with OC's in them. In the one (and only) Beyblade fanfic I wrote, my OC was a competitor and her Beyblade's name was Kurasari. It was abandoned a week later.
Skip ahead two-three years and I'm signing up for LJ when I discover a problem: the name I usually use on the internet is TAKEN! BASTARDS! *cough* Anyway I spend hours trying to think of a name I can use that's one word but can't come up with anything. To distract myself I started going through my fanfiction and when I saw that old Beyblade fanfic I remembered I'd made-up a name for my OC's bblade and Kurasari was born.
