So, why did you pick your username? Some of course used their own names, which is always good for identifying them. :lol:


I chose mine because, well.. I'm an Oscar Wilde fan. But that's pretty easy to figure out I guess. :lol:

Well, ever since about 7 years ago(approx) I've been using this little made up name, Missyannlala, for just about everything. It's got part of my name in it, Melissa sometimes missy for short, Ann is my middle name, and lala, well I just had a sort of brain fart, and was listening to some song that had 'la la' in the lyrics.
with all that combined I got Missyannlala, on the plus side, it's always an available name. :)

That's so weird, my mom's first name is Melissa and her middle name is Ann. :lol:

No it's not. Just kidding.

I made up this name when I was about 16. I was reading a lot of dystopian literature at the time (and still do), and I thought of the idea of a place that seems perfect to those who live there (eden), but is inherently flawed to the point that no one notices (bleached, because bleached hair may lead to pretty colors but damages the hair). Thus, bleached eden was born. I've used the name ever since, sometimes with a space and sometimes without, depending on how I feel and what the limitations are.

Wow, Wilde, what a small world. I bet she's an awesome person, having such an amazing name and whatnot. :)

Rain is my favorite weather and bells is my second favorite word. Silver is my favorite word, but Rainsilver sounds awful and Silverbells sounds like Christmas. Silverrain looks like Slitherin and I would never be a Slitherin. I think I might have put too much thought into this :lol:

BookTalk.org: I love books, so "Iluvbookz" seems approriate (had to add a creative touch with the "luv" and "bookz"). Then, since my age is 13, why not add that too? Thus ILuvBookz13 was born

HTMLForums.com: Okay, most won't get this, but here it goes: cascading-style, because my favorite programming language is by far CSS, which just so happens to stand for Cascading Style Sheets. Take of the sheets, and whaddya know! An awesome name is born :). Thus Cascading-Style (more commonly referred to as "C-Style") was born.

Murasaki for several reasons:

1) From Murasaki Shikibu who wrote the The Tale of Genji
2) It also can mean Violet and Viola is one of my favorite Shakespearean characters
3) I have role played under this name for many years and I am working on writing my character's back story.
4) I love Japanese culture :D
