Hey Pandas, What's The Story Behind Your Username? (Closed)

I love Greek Mythology, and thought that Persephone hates Pomegranate would be funny.

The story is that Hades (the God of the Underworld) was lonely and wanted a wife. So he snuck up to Olympus and looked for a suitable wife. He saw Persephone, the goddess of agriculture, and kidnapped her and brought her back to the Underworld.

He decided to give her six pomegranate seeds to eat. She did, and he then told her that she would have to spend 6 months out of the year. Persephones mother, Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, was super sad, and left the harvest to die as she went to go look for her daughter, which meant the harvest died. This is why we have winter.

I have red hair, always get Hufflepuff on Harry Potter quizzes, and can't swim.

Karma is a b***h. I pushed my brother and he fell down two steps. I was about 8 and he was about 5. 10 years later, I fell down the stairs and broke both my legs and one arm. Well played Karma *slowly claps*

Pirates of the Caribbean

I'm a Dragonrider from Pern.

So I've made this account pretty recently, and when I was coming up with a username, I had two criteria I wanted to fulfill:

1) Has only the vaguest connection to me
2) Was nerdy(like me)

Context for the first condition: I'm also writing a Miraculous Ladybug fanfic on Tumblr under the same username, and maybe there are some people in my life who I don't want knowing about this.

So I decided to play around with scientific names for animals to come up with usernames. Potential ones included:

Falconidae
Lupina
La Scrofa
Indica Maxima

Eventually I settled on Lea Panthera. Why? Because it was a variation of Panthera leo, the scientific name of the lion. Assuming that the feminine version would then be Panthera Lea, I just switched the words around for a pinch of originality.

Is it my name, or is it not?

My sister has a aunt in law named Minnie Ellen.
I am 5 feet tall, short, and me neices and nephews started calling me Aunt Mini.
So now, 2 of my grandkids call me Mini.
My other grandchild calls me Yaya.
Put them together you have Mini Yaya

The word triskaidekaphobia is the irrational fear of the number 13 and i both love that it exists and that it exists because it is stupid. The number 13 is just a number, nothing special.

In PC game "Stronghold 2" a voice in the main menu always greeted you with "Welcome Sire". As a result I first entered "Sire" and later on "Sir" as the player name for the game and then for more and more games. Then when steam came along and wanted a unique and permanent username, I just added my name to "Sir". - - - - - and now I use that for logins on a veriety of websites.

My actual name is spelled Lyndsey. Rhymes with Catastrophe. I needed something to give a clue to my personality, and that one worked. I'm a mess, rugs purposefully trip me and chairs move on their own. Clumsy doesn't even begin to describe me.

Since 2008 I've been dealing with blood issues, and in 2015 was diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera, which is a rare type of blood cancer usually found in people in their 60-70s, and I got diagnosed at 28. So because my life basically revolves around my blood, I figured "Blood Candy" sounded fitting because despite the unpleasantness, I'm also pretty sweet :)

My husband's nickname for me is penguin and I'm a cat mom to a Maine C**n mix boi.

Megatron. Cause hes cool, and why tf not?

I couldn’t think of anything, I tried my normal username Low_Wifi but it didn’t let me use that for some reason, so I thought “What if I went unnamed?” And I added Hooman to the end (like Human) so I am Unnamed Hooman

My username is anime_girl. Basically, I chose this because ‘anime’ = literally the best thing in the entire universe and ‘girl’ = me (biologically female and she/her)
Not very inspiring, but just wanted to share the fact that anime is the best thing in the history of the world.
✌🏼, anime_girl

Pretty self-explanatory.
And the pfp is Charlie Spring's phone screen in Heartstopper.

sonic.exe is cool.

Live in the east end of London, "bird" is slang for woman.

Fahrenheit 451 was always one of my favorite novels and I like the was "Lee451" looks. Even had that as my licence plates for about 10 years.
