how did you choose your username for the dis?



Mine is my penname I use when I read and write fanfiction for a particular fandom. Though now, I wish I could change it to something more fitting for the forums.
 


I've used this username for most of my generic accounts since I was in high school. I'm a big Final Fantasy fan, and back then we were playing a lot of Final Fantasy X. One interesting aspect of the game is the language used by a group called the Al Bhed. I wanted something that looked/sounded cool in Al Bhed, but that could still mean something. "Vena rosh" in Al Bhed translates to "Fire Hymn" in English. So to make it look cool, I smushed them together and chopped off the 'H' to get Venaros. It's cool and unique enough that 9 times out of 10 it's available. There's some back and forth on how it is actually pronounced, but I typically go with putting the emphasis on the 'nar' syllable. Like: vuh-nar-os.
 
Back when I joined the DIS, I was a soon to be freshman in high school who was big into playing softball. Now I'm an adult who hasn't swung a bat since I was 16, so the name doesn't quite fit anymore :laughing: At least I still enjoy watching the game
 
Mine is a combination of my cats name (Jaws) and a name I often use online for forums/games (Osbourne)
 
While lurking here for 6+ months, I was hoping to come up with something cleverly Disney-ish for when I finally created an account. Instead I wound up using this anagram of mine and DH's first names that I had previously come up with but never used.
 
Well, I live in Madison, WI, which is colloquially known as "MadTown..." And we have quite a few cats in our family, we have German ancestry, and thus..."MadTownKatz!"
 
My username is a reference to DC's Owlman, and beyond that, an in joke with a friend of mine who is partiuclarly patient iwth my Disney obsession and a huge Marvel fan besides.
 
So it was the name I used to use in the days of the BBS's as a handle. I came up with it based of of a short story I has been writing (this was the name I had created for the protagonist). The story never went anywhere but I still use the name as an internet handle.
