    I don't want to type the whole story out so here's the tl;dr version.

    I have an obsession with wind. It was the wind that helped me change my life for the better. I love it literally and symbolically. Zephyr is the term for a light wind. It also sounded cool. :p

    So yeah, wind obsession.

    My username is a combination of my first and middle name. I know that sounds crazily simple, but it's true.

    I now have "The Zephyr Song" by Red Hot Chilli Peppers in my head.

    Well... I have an affinity for foxes, but I couldn't think of some talent that was fox related... so I thought about 'Carrot Top' and thought I'd have something in a similar way.... thus, Foxytail.

    Mine is an updated username.
    Originally, I used to use leonSK555. Yea I was a real RE4 fan at the time. As time passed, I found it to be unoriginal. I then came across the name "lyon" from the game fire emblem:the sacred stones. Seeing how "lyon" shares similarity to "lion", I liked it. "Leon" also standed for "lion" in spanish. Which gave me more of a reason to change it.
    So I finally changed it to LyonKS555.
    The "K" and the "S" were switched and now stand for my name on facebook "Karm Silva"<---(I would explained the name but it would make this post a TL;DR one)
    The three 5s are just to filter the name but could stand for man(listen to The Pixie's "monkey gone to heaven" song to understand what I mean)

    That pretty much explains mine, and why my OC has a large mane

    Mine is when i was working at FedEx ground loading trucks I cut my hand open and bleed everywhere. The lead floor guy came over and said " Jonny dont touch anything ." I asked why since the bleeding had slowed down. He said " Because you're a Biohazard." Ever since then i went by this name.

    Johnn came from my school roster not having my full first name on the list correctly due to my long last name, so I stuck with Johnn on the interwebz, the 1045 came from a random keyboard mashing, then it turned into 7643, and now its 4523 xD

    I chose my name to be Frost because that is how most people view my personality when they first meet me. Frosty.

    My best friend (who I don't talk to anymore) once told me that people have made mention that I first come across as cold, distant and perhaps a bit aloof. However, in truth I'm just shy around new people.


    So, I am Frost. On the surface at least.

    Origins: Enina

    Enina was my Assassin on Diablo 2's Battle.net. Later I made a Sorceress (Eninya). The name has stuck, since it's unique, ever since.

    Time travel to WoW: 6 years of WoW as a human female warrior. On Ventrilo, I openly identified to anyway I was referred to. (Male, Female, about 9 different pronunciations of my name that were wrong.)
    -----------------------------
    Aynine: Eninya backwards. I liked the name of "Nine" (the name of a witch in BlazBlue as well) and it fit. A-9/A9 was also a random NPC in the .Hack// games.

    Aynine is now exclusive to ponies, where Eninya is my general moniker. A google search can pretty much track me off of it.

    I was looking for a name for my Pony OC. I typically rp in knight/paladin rps, so I thought of Lumina while playing an MMO. (that name was taken, sadly, by both a player and a fan pony on Dev, Lumin means light ) Starlight was another name I considered, but but it already belonged to a previous generation pony, so I pulled a Twilight Sparkle and used the combined names and inspiration from a character in one of the Disney fairie movies to create a purpose and power for Lumi.

    Many years ago I found a Vampire name generator. Put in my name. Samuel Keat. I've used Keat for many things over the past few years. 38 is my favorite number. Keat38.

    I found Everypony.com

    I desperately wanted to sign up.

    I had recently been looking for a username that i could adopt to use for ALL accounts.

    But i didn't have time to think of one.

    So i mashed together: a favourite word + favourite animal

    And thus, CrestfallenMeerkat was born. ^^
    It is now my universal username, but when it's too long, i use MeerkatLament.
    But no matter what site it's on, you always know it's me if the username is something about a sad meerkat. xD

    I created mine 4 years ago and have stuck with it. I was getting a ride home from school when my friend and I were brainstorming gamertags for xbox live because I wanted to change mine since no one ever seemed to understand it. I wanted something to match my appearance in some way because I had planned on using that nickname for many other things. We were listening to the song "Like a Boss" so I had plenty of rap artist names appearing in my head. I landed on FatBoyFresh. After hanging out at his house for a while I decided I may not like that because it just didn't look right to me at the time. I had heard the term "Phat" before, being used with the same external meaning as "sick." *Boom* PhatBoyFresh was born. Long live ME!!!!!! Mwuahahahaha.....*ahem* sorry about that.
