Mine is a little complicated (no pun intended lol) to explain. When I was growing up, my brother and I both played with Beanie Babies. There was a monkey named Gog (that was the name it came with). One day I was playing "school" with them and trying to write their names on their "desks," I was probably writing their names on index cards or something. I guess I didn't know how to spell Gog and ended up spelling it as BogoGog. Years later I was trying to choose a name for an Xbox profile and my brother suggested BogoGog since no one else would have it. And I've used it as a username for various things ever since lol I don't know how you ended up misspelling Gog by putting "Bogo" in front of it, but in case you'd find it mildly interesting, "Bog" means God in most Slav languages, and "-gog" is the suffix "-gogue", so your nick would/could be interpreted as "God-o-gogue", lol.

Mine is an obvious reference. I wanted a username that couldn't be linked back to my typical online alias. It should be pretty easy to find out what it is, though. I post/comment in r/avrillavigne once in a blue moon and I make no attempt at changing the way I type/text. I post/comment in r/avrillavignemusic too(I know it's not a good idea to do that with my typical alias, but nobody that knows me by my typical alias checks my reddit). My specific hobbies and interests are very unusual for an Avril fan. I just want plausible deniability.

Well actually... I think I mentioned this s o m e w h e r e on the forum but I don‘t know and remember lol.. but my real name has nothing to do with my username. I just didn’t want to use my own name on social media so I created danneedshugs. But the idea of calling my online name comes from a different reason which I won’t go too deep into. On twitter I‘m called duwod and that‘s the username I used on every platform but during 2019 I decided to change my twitter profile to danneedshugs. The reason is a lot of people from my personal live know the name duwod and on twitter I post things I don‘t want them to see. Not all of the people here are tolerant and to avoid any stress I called myself Dan. However, I recently changed it back to duwod and on instagram I use my real name and I don’t want to care about anyone finding out anymore. I would change my username here to duwod as well but I don’t know how that works lol Well.. that‘s that. And for you, you can call me Dan or duwod or however you want. You can also make up a new name if you want to.

When I first joined this Bandaids (ProBoards) I was a little confused as to why I couldn't log in with my old username (on the old BA it was *Mobile*), I thought I might forgot my password or something and didn't bother to do the whole "forgot your password?" thing. I didn't know that the old Bandaids was closed/down so I decided to make a new account thinking that my old account (*Mobile*) is still here. I, of course understand that you can't make two accounts with the same username but I still wanted to make something that had to do with the song "Mobile". So that's why I chose this username

Post by ame · 雨 on Apr 23, 2021 18:22:46 GMT
So my name is "ame" which means rain in japanese. (i also put the kanji character in my username bc everytime i was tagged in the monthly member thing my name got drowned among your cool and unique names...ugh, so i needed to make it more spicy and try to stand out... xD)
anyways, the name comes from an anime movie called Wolf Children, and Ame was kinda like the really shy and vulnerable boy but in the end of the movie he becomes really independent and kinda cold and cool. And it's not like i am like him or ever was, but i really liked the whole idea of the name and how it sounded. It became my social media name.
I mean, you know those people that tattoo themselves japanese or chinese characters but have no idea what it means (or how it's pronounced??) yeah... so i thought ok, i know what it means and i like it and it's also not hard to pronounce, it can still sound "western" let's say... So (maybe) that's how i'll call my future son, maaaybe, we'll see if my future wife agrees with that LOL
by the way, i hope no one here pronounces it like "eɪ-m" or something like that (i know your bad habits americans...xD) it's pronounced as it spells: "ɑ:me" (or something like that, your phonetics are weird...xD)
oh... and bc i freaking love rain too. DUH 😂
by the way again, everyone calls me Ben (even tho it's not short from benjamin) it's short for "Ruben" but that's a long story which has to do with how spanish people pronounce my name wrong...but anyways, you can call me ben if ame it's too cringy (i understand...xD)
2008 cringy emo moment: my username in the old forum was "-4vr1l-" lmao.....oh GOD.... 😂😂😂 i was young....ðŸ˜

Mine is obvious. I got a little crazy and started a personal campaign called #justiceforbiggerwow a while back just for fun🤦. Then I just put the song name instead. I'm never content with usernames but I tend to keep them. Yet not on bandaids for some reason since I've changed them twice already.

It's the name of this bitch: Hey, you know what.. I just came across this Japanese word somewhere, and I realised that it sounds like Sanskrit word Amaya. Amaya means night rain in Hindi and Sanskrit also.

I usually have Jinx as a nickname but that was already in use on a lot of platforms and even Jinxx was taken so I made it more weird to add a K, and because Jinkx was also taken quite often it became Jinkxx. I'm not good with original nicknames tho. I wanted to call my first pet Jinx but that didn't happen so I ended up using it as nickname on the internet
