<p>My friend was Mandarin Chinese and he moved to California as well. His name was Oliver. :)</p>
<p>I was walking back from the ole fishin hole with my Pa, whistling a happy tune when I joined. Life is good, the fishing good. </p>
<p>Also it honors my ole golden retriever OPIE. He gave me 17 years of loyalty, never argued, always happy to see me. Always a cold nose and warm grin and a wagging tail. Saved him from getting run over as a stray and he joined my family for all those years. gawd, now I'm tearing up.</p>
<p>Hmmm... I was born in California so I never moved here. Sorry, wrong Mandarin Oliver :(</p>
<p>Hah, but that would've been pretty interesting..</p>
<p>b4nnd20, I wanted to change my username too, but I didn't want to start anew. I picked this one on a whim, not knowing it would last me. :/</p>
<p>Well, yeah, I had another username before my previous one. So this is my 3rd. I still use the others, it's just a username for god's sake :D</p>
<p>I live in the sunshine state and I'm a girl- sunshinegirl</p>
<p>Pyar - it means love in Hindi :P IDK i just like how ironic it is about me while at the same time describing me. Plus I always use it as my user name :)</p>
<p>my name starts with L and I talk a lot</p>
<p>'cuz my name literally means "we." (how weird is that BTW!! my parents just wanted to name me the name that nobody has!!) I wish I could change this! Something like, Hottie or Cuttie.. kk</p>
<p>I couldn't think of anything else...</p>
<p>I really like this post! I learned a lot of foreign words!!</p>
<p>My CC name is my real name. I am the only one in this world with this name *Arrogance *</p>
<p>Uh...I like physics? I'm also involved in physics club, which we always refer to as "FiZiX club." Plus I wanted a username distinct from all my other usernames since everything on this board is there permanently and I wanted to be careful.</p>
<p>:P Interesting thread. xP I guess everyone can guess why I created my CC name as PUNKiiE. XP No, I'm not a mean punk that picks on everyone. :] I just like dressing black or punky like and yes I do shop at hottopic :P!</p>
<p>I'm mildly obsessed/share an undying love with tardigrades.</p>
<p>Mine's a mix of where I live and what I'm doing here. ;)</p>
<p>It's from a Dan Bern song. Chances are you haven't heard of Dan Bern -- he's a perhaps middle-aged, Iowa-born son-of-Holocaust-survivors folk singer. The song has a motif of doing all of these Hemingway-esque things in Key West with Hemingway, and then ends with "here's the truth, at least, I'll tell you Heminway is dead!". I love Hemingway, and it's reminiscent of Nietzsche's GOD IS DEAD. So there.</p>
<p>mine is the same as my screenname, email, and every other username for websites. It's my name and birthday</p>
<p>krn for korean</p>
<p>psychopath for...well psychopath. </p>
<p>Reason being I love anime and psychopaths just look so cool.</p>
<p>Here's a complicated one. when the internet first came out, so many years ago, I was at a theme park and saw an obnoxious child throwing himself around on the floor having a tantrum, whining and screaming. The mother kept saying "dont' you want to go see Tanya Nuuuuuubin?"over and over. For some reason, it really struck my husband and me funny, and I've used the name ever since. Wonder who the real Tanya Nubin is, and if she's ****ed off that I have her screen name!</p>
