Merely as a topic of conversation--I was wondering. How long did it take each of you to come up with a unique "username" for "LiveJournal
( Read more... )
I admit coming up for my user name took some time and effort. Originally I was not going to do this user name because I thought it was to...audacious. I had other ones such as "Lord_of_Pemberley" and "Fitz_Darcy". However, in the end, I decided with this one for ill or good.
My username preceded my existence by several hours. As it happens, it was the main reason I was invited in. -_-;;
Of my sock-mates... well, the angel's was already made by his first secretary; Rina had a few options, one of which she uses now for her email address (ladylaundress) and she thoroughly hated the idea of 'blondress'. That was our secretary being as ridiculous as usual.
Geoffrey's, turnthepage_boy, was easy and innuendo besides. Josua had a couple of options, but as our puppeteer was listening to West Side Story and heard the phrase "one handed catch" she threw the other candidates out the window and said, and I quote: "OH HELL YES!".
Mme Fogg's was the hardest to come up with, I suppose; our typist wrote several words that she liked on a piece of paper and played mix-n-match. Then Aouda got to vote on her favorite.
My typist likes making up these silly names, even for those whom she does not puppet. Actually, she's probably going to end up making a journal for Mlle Sibyl Vane just to use the username whethervane.

It took my typist an intolerable amout of time to come up with one for myself. Apparently the only head mate of mine who she did not have difficulty with was Doctor Jekyll.
My typist rather likes "i_pwn_box_5" but I'm afraid I don't understand it.
For myself, it only took a few minutes to decide. The typist says it is because I am "obsessed" (am not) with beauty and Roman noses, and because "my" book came out in 1868. Logical enough, I s'pose.
