What's in a username?

Just pondering, how much is in a username... what does yours say about you? Does it give away anything about the real you? or a hobby/favorite thing? Childhood nickname?

    My real name is a hill near Dublin where the Kings and Queens used to live!

    My user name is my middle name which means Fairy.

    My real name is from the greek meaning "crown" which goes so well with my new surname .

    It still makes me think you're a Portsmouth fan.

    Which obviously I know now isn't correct ?

    My real name means 'listener' - I like to think that I'm a good one.

    My username was due to our wedding colour scheme being yellow, and mellow yellow being preferable to yellow bride 2 b or some twaddle. I LOVE my new Mumdrum name which came out of a thread on here today!

    New username - my Granddad used to call me RebTheEcker.

    My real name apparently means 'to tie or bind'. It's Hebrew too.

    Mum was reading the Daphne Du Maurier book with the same title when she was pregnant with me.

    Dad's suggestion for a name happens to be the real life name that JoJo85 has (I feel for you, my love, I really do!)

    Same here (we have the same first name, I remember from last year's secret santa).

    My username came about after a recent thread on WP with a most hilarious misspelling of "awkward". No idea what that says about me!

    Mine is just a variation on my real name. When I was about 13, my mad art teacher got really cross with me and shouted "But HELENIA darling, you can't do that!" and thus it was created. I thought it was prettier than my real name so use it for most internet things, though I do realise that it's not the most anonymous option!

    My real name means "light" or something similar.

    My username is just a word I really like. Plus i luuuurve elephants and therefore do in fact believe that anything unrelated to elephants is irrelephant.

    My real name means 'Whole' or 'Universal' but i've also seen translations of it as 'Nurse' before as well.

    I love all things peanut/peanut butter flavoured, I'm a bit nutty and I'm also quite small! And my maiden initials were LL. My real name just means 'laurel leaves', which isn't very exciting.

    My username must be the most boring on here! Erin is my 1st name and 8 is my lucky number. It must mean l am a very boring person! In hindsight l should have picked something that was more fun and said more about me.

    Mine says I'm not very original - it's my new and old nickname from work.
