Username Origins!

Username Origins!

share the origin and story of your username/alias/whatever you guys call it here on the CB. thought it'd be a nice way to get to know one another and have fun!

I'll start--my username is after Ellesmere Island, which is either a part of Canada or Greenland, idk. but it's heavily populated by Arctic wolves, and it's one of my favorite ecosystems (aside from a few prehistoric ones). it was a nice sounding word, so I just started using it everywhere. it was the first of my aliases (the former ones being RodeoQueen[random number here I forgot], Badflower [so edgy], and Tear Ivy [from some wolf roleplay a looong time ago]) to actually stick.

that was kinda long, but you don't have to make it as complicated as I did. enjoy!

back to the Chirp at Cricket

There's a lot of coyotes near my house, and I always kinda loved the way they sound. I also love the way the word "coyote" sounds, and think it looks super cool written out. I always thought it would be a pretty cool name, and when I read The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, it kinda sealed the deal.

I love that book! I read it at the library a while ago but I haven't gotten around to purchasing a physical copy of it.

I named myself after my swim team, which is the (town where I live) Sea Dragons. My old name was basically my real name; I got rid of it about 2 1/2 years ago for reasons of privacy and being bored with it. (Typing 2 1/2 years makes me realize my 3rd CBversary is in April; I didn't realize I've been on the CB for so long.)

What a nice thread idea! :)

When I first found out about the CB, I spent a while thinking of a name, trying to find something that sounded pretty and colorful. At some point I thought of the word "poinsettia" - it sounded nice to me, and I also thought poinsettia flowers are very vibrant and pretty. (For those who don't know, poinsettias are flowers with red, pointy petals, usually displayed around Christmas.) And I just went with it. At the CB Live Chat in 2023, I gave myself the nickname Setti. And that's the story :)

Mine started because of my hair color lol! My hair is auburn but looks like fire in the sunlight. I also really liked phoenixes (STILL DOOOOO) when I made up the name. They're resillience! My original name on here was AuburnFairy13 (idk if anyone remembers this haha). I got that because of A my hair and B this book I read called the Night fairy. The 13 is because it's my fave number!!
