Origins for your username?

[Amaterasu]

I've seen some pretty imaginative names and I wanna know your usernames origins. Mine is Itachis' attack,"Amaterasu ",and yes I'm proud to be a Narutard!

[misa]

Despite what you might think, my username is not named after a character from Death note, which I haven't seen. Misa is what I would like my name to actually be instead of my own.

[supergub]

My name isn't very original, although no, superGUB doesn't stand for super(reversed)bug. It's the first part of my(embarrassing) nickname.

[alantar]

Amaterasu is also the Japanese sun goddess. I'd assumed your name was a reference to that, myself.

My SN is the one I use most everywhere: It started as a character I used on a MUD (anyone ever play onna those?) It's actually derived from somewhere you could conceivably find, once you realize that I added a letter. Not sayin' where, though. Want to see if anyone figures it out.

[Amaterasu]

I get that alot,and i haven't the faintest idea where your name came from! But i'm trying real hard

[alantar]

Yeah, wouldn't expect anyone here to know it off the top of my head. Turns out you can google the original name and find where I got it right off, though. So if you really wanna know, just systematically take out each letter in turn and search the result.

[Kirin no Rei 77]

When I was in 10th grade me and a few friends were playing a board game that we had made in art class (we each had an assignment to create a board game) and this particular board game had to do with safari animals. Having a natural liking for giraffes, I was playing as this particular creature. There was a point in the game where you were supposed to cross a bridge and as you crossed the bridge you were supposed to make the noise of your respective animal. Of course, all the other animals in the game (elephant, monkey, zebra,etc.) made some actual noise but as I got to the bridge, I suddenly blurted out 'what the hell sound does a giraffe make'? There was an akward pause as we looked around at one another and then like an idiot I all of a sudden opened my big mouth and howled 'GIRRRRAAAFFFE!!!!' Apparently, that was the funniest thing ever (hey, I was 15 in 10th grade! :lol: ) and ever since that point, I was associated with giraffes.

In my younger years I had a mighty obsession with Rei. Using my mighty teenager intellect, I considered the translation of her name the greatest thing ever, I decided to combine the giraffe thing, my love for the scout, and my obsession with anime (by keeping my screenname in Japanese) when making my AIM name and thus 'Kirin no Rei' was born. I now use it for frickin' EVERYTHING. :lol:

As for the '77' thing, initially it was just because I really liked the number. However, upon further inspection I realized that 'hey, if we go by the Roman calendar SEPTember is the 7th month, I was born on the 7th, and I'm Italian so whee!' and now I pretend that that's what I intentionally meant to do. It was actually just an odd coincidence. The end.

[bluestarintears]

The first part of my name comes from a character in a book series I like ( probably not too hard to figure it out), and said character was one of my favorites. But then when she died I was like 'ahh, bummer' and thus the 'in tears' part came to be. Combining it all you get Bluestarintears. I've come to use that nearly everywhere, except Youtube (because I must have been on something when I created my account there).
