Explain Why You Chose Your Username!

[Disneyfangirl23]

I have no idea why I chose this username… I hate it ….. I wish I could change it to something that makes me happy but it’s a lot of TBT it will take forever to get there

 

[Halloqueen]

I like horror and Halloween and I'm really bad at coming up with names. At least it conveys me pretty well at a glance though, so there's something to be said for that I guess. If I ever manage to rebuild my TBT funds again, have enough to spare and come up with something better, I'll probably change it to something else.

 

[Emolga59]

Emolga is one of my favourite pokemon!!

I never rly had a reason as to why I chose 59 but it does have a nice ring to it tbf

 

[Doo]

I couldn’t think of a name

 

[Seastar]

My old username was something I came up with in 2008 and I wanted to change it back in 2020, so I did.
My current username comes from a character I made in a daydream but then abandoned. As of last year I have actually given the name to a different character.

I think I should explain this better.
The old username mentioned here was my favorite Pokemon and a random number.
For the current one I used "sea" because I was trying to make up a Splatoon name and "star" because I love stars.
...And then later I realized it's what starfish are called. Funny accident.

 

[TheKpopObsessed]

Mine’s a little self-explanatory…

 

[Giddy]

One of my old nicknames from Secondary School; because they couldn't remember my name. But honestly Giddy clicks so well with me personally.
Been using it either since~ Not just here, most places I got online I call myself Giddy.

This is going to be a long one, so I put my whole story in spoilers just in case.

Spoiler: from cutebross260 to BobRocks20

My very first account on the internet was on Scratch. I made it in 2016 and my username there was cutebross260. I know I should be explaining my Bell Tree username but just you wait, this part is there for a reason. Anyway, I came up with cutebross260 because:

1. I'm female and I wanted to put in a word usually associated with girls
2. I was fascinated by a then-locally-popular user named Felipebross

So I went under cutebross260 for four years (even when I deleted my first account out of rage and came back as cutebross260IsBack). When the big event in 2020 occured I became pretty active on Scratch again. One day some of the online friends I met there began going under new aliases while still using their account with their old alias (you can't change your username in Scratch). I thought it was cool and I wanted to give it a shot. I was also getting a bit tired of cutebross260 because I lost interest in Felipebross, so this was the perfect time to give myself a fresh, new identity. After some internal brainstorming, BobRocks20 was born.

Sometimes people look at my username and assume I'm male when I'm really female and once I had one person acknowledge the fact that the "BobRocks" part rhymes with the painter Bob Ross, which is a funny coincidence on my part. Despite all this, BobRocks20 will continue to be associated with my online identity for years to come.

TL;DR: Before I made an account on TBT, my internet alias used to be cutebross260, but then I changed it to BobRocks20 because I found cutebross260 to be a bit outdated for me. Since then, I've used BobRocks20 on other websites.

 

[Alolan_Apples]

I changed my username initially to celebrate the release of Pokémon Sun/Moon, but also included the word “apple” since I am about apples. I haven’t changed it since then since I don’t like changing my username.

 

[TN4U]

I use TN4U on other gaming forums, but use a more personal name on non-gaming ones. TBT's no exception.

Considering how I've essentially set roots here, I may change it to something more unique someday. I refer to myself more as "Trevor" than my own username, so maybe that'll play a factor if I decide to go for a name change.

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

I chose it because I really like Disney! And I’m saving up to go to Disneyland Paris in 2026

 

[Suguri]

I used to be BobRocks20, and today I changed my username to Suguri. It's because I don't want people to mistake me for a male user. Plus, it's simpler, it's cute, and it's Kieran's Japanese name.

 

[Neb]

I had been using Neb as my username for around a year at the time I joined and it felt right. It’s short for Nebby, the nickname of my favorite Pokemon Cosmog from Pokemon Sun and Moon. Coincidentally enough it’s also my real name, Ben, backwards. I can’t imagine my username online being anything else at this point. It feels almost like a second first name.
