How did you come up with your username? - Page 3 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Chris is my first name. Win is the first 3 letters of my last name. The # 8 is my lucky number that has a story attached to it. Sorry its a personal story, chances are you will not believe it anyway.

When in high school, I was writing poetry that was, amazingly, decent enough to get published. It wasn't bad, but tended to run with the standard angst-filled themes of young adulthood. A few friends of mine started referring to me as "The Angsty Poet", and I started using Anxst as my handle in IRC rooms. (I used the X to differentiate from the normal word, and to help my family with pronunciation. Many of them are non-native English speakers.) It's been my username for almost any public forum I've ever engaged in on the 'net.

I was lurking and read this page. Redlemon offered ideas of combining two words, then FuriousAvatar's avatar captured my imagination of an eye~ which I've been trying to draw in a Steampunk style all day yesterday~ and this was the name I settled on.

Nothing Wow-ish, no lovely back story.
My other site names were initials and numbers... look at me though, coming out of my shell and being creative. Fab!

Welcome Cat_Eyes, thanks for noticing me, and don't capsize!

Thanks for the suggestion on how to make a name, Redlemon. It's so much better then xXME13Xx I was considering.

Glad I could be of some inspiration, Cat_Eyes =)
