Username Origins!
share the origin and story of your username/alias/whatever you guys call it here on the CB. thought it'd be a nice way to get to know one another and have fun!
I'll start--my username is after Ellesmere Island, which is either a part of Canada or Greenland, idk. but it's heavily populated by Arctic wolves, and it's one of my favorite ecosystems (aside from a few prehistoric ones). it was a nice sounding word, so I just started using it everywhere. it was the first of my aliases (the former ones being RodeoQueen[random number here I forgot], Badflower [so edgy], and Tear Ivy [from some wolf roleplay a looong time ago]) to actually stick.
that was kinda long, but you don't have to make it as complicated as I did. enjoy!

There's a lot of coyotes near my house, and I always kinda loved the way they sound. I also love the way the word "coyote" sounds, and think it looks super cool written out. I always thought it would be a pretty cool name, and when I read The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, it kinda sealed the deal.

I love that book! I read it at the library a while ago but I haven't gotten around to purchasing a physical copy of it.

I named myself after my swim team, which is the (town where I live) Sea Dragons. My old name was basically my real name; I got rid of it about 2 1/2 years ago for reasons of privacy and being bored with it. (Typing 2 1/2 years makes me realize my 3rd CBversary is in April; I didn't realize I've been on the CB for so long.)

What a nice thread idea! :)
When I first found out about the CB, I spent a while thinking of a name, trying to find something that sounded pretty and colorful. At some point I thought of the word "poinsettia" - it sounded nice to me, and I also thought poinsettia flowers are very vibrant and pretty. (For those who don't know, poinsettias are flowers with red, pointy petals, usually displayed around Christmas.) And I just went with it. At the CB Live Chat in 2023, I gave myself the nickname Setti. And that's the story :)

Mine started because of my hair color lol! My hair is auburn but looks like fire in the sunlight. I also really liked phoenixes (STILL DOOOOO) when I made up the name. They're resillience! My original name on here was AuburnFairy13 (idk if anyone remembers this haha). I got that because of A my hair and B this book I read called the Night fairy. The 13 is because it's my fave number!!

What fun, I love these threads :D When I wanted to join the CB, I admired y'all's names so much (I still do), and I wanted to go by something that sounded nice but also stood for something I liked. I like purple and jewels, so when I hit on Amethyst it sounded right and I decided to just go with it. If I were joining now, I think I'd choose something a bit different, but I've gotten attached to Amethyst :)

I've used this username for another site before, so it technically came from there. I came up with it after an evolution of moon/star/wolf related usernames before I settled on Moon Wolf, simple, elegant, and captures the perfect vibe of wolves and the moon, which I like. I feel like the username has now become more like a part of me, with my personality and likes and even my room seeming to slowly evolve into a similar vibe to my name. To get to the point, I chose this name because I like the moon and wolves are pretty majestic :)

Mine is super simple.
I was watching the pilot episode of Steven universe when I was trying to come up with my username.It has these ice cream sandwiches called choco cats but I didn't like how choco cat sounded so I tweaked it a bit.
And then I was cocoa cat.

I was originally climate girl, but I stopped liking the "girl " and posted on random thoughts for an opinion, and someone suggested climate bee. Climate girl came from my superhero thingy.

Which one? (lol)
I'll explain all of them, in order of appearance.
Reuby Moonnight: First of all, i was eleven...I thought i was edgy. Anyways. The "ruby" part came from my birth stone (ruby is july's birthstone). And the "moonnight" part came from....the moon....being out at night.
GloomyBear: I wanted to add an animal aspect to my name, so i chose a bear, but wanted some dark aspect to the name, and I chose Gloomy (i changed bc GloomyBear is an actual character).
InkTea (CURRENT NAME!): I wanted something relating to art, and I thought about different mediums i use- ink -and then i got thinking " Huh, what do you use with ink? Well...and ink pot. What else goes in a pot? TEA!". So i mashed those two together :)

I know I've been on here for like only one month, but I chose Jinx because I was trying to come up with a name for a character in a story (the character was some kind of sprite, and I thought Jinx sounded pretty sprite-y and magical) and anyways that's where I chose it from I guess!

Hi! @Jinx, I haven't been on CB that long either.
My name comes from several things. One, because my backyard gets absolutley covered in them when its spring. Two, I like the concept of not forgetting
