So what's the story behind your username?

[Claude]

My username is named after Claudius, a Roman Emperor. He had a disability and little political experience. He stammered, his head shook, his knees were weak, and he slobbered when he was excited. He was believed to be an idiot, let alone a likely candidate for the throne. However, he took up his role as emperor well, even more so than many of his predecessors and many of those who were to come. *coughnerocough*

[Sovereign Rune]

Big Suikoden fan. That's really all there is to it.

[Alchemist007]

I was thinking "hmm I like Alchemist...and I need something cool to go with that."

[jerkette]

Wellll. I first heard "jerkette" in Princess Diaries 1. Mia's bestfriend Lily saw two of their classmates kissing, and she said "jer and jerkette sighting". And i kinda liked the sound of "jerkette". And it also rhymes with my name. Hihihihi

[Miki7]

My name Miki is from the character from marmalade boy Miki was... I saw Marmalade boy when I was 12 years old, and then I discovered that when I truly loved somene it was like Miki loved Yuu that's why I chosed the name Miki

[Hs Vi Germania]

Very simple one

H. + S. are my initials. Normally I am used to be HsXIII but here III were not possible, so I took Vi Germania, orientated myself on Lelouch Vi Britannia. Germania because I am German

Funny how they call everything "jäger," eh? panzerjäger, feldjäger, düsenjäger, fallschirmjäger, etc. Can't blame them, though, seeing that it is quite possibly one of the coolest words in existence.

[SaintessHeart]

Basically my name is a pen name for the music scores and fanfiction I used to write before I entered high school. Masquerading as a female would draw more audience to my works, and it really did compared my friend who used a more masculine name.

Besides it sounds cute. So it gets stuck.

[Kusa-San]

Kusa which is a short version of Kusanagi. First name of the great Kusanagi Motoko from GITS

I'm sorry, it seems that I've been told by another member on here (and deducted points from me as a dissapproving comment at the same time) that this is not what the word Chan means after all, so I've decided to look it up on Wikipedia for it's meaning instead and this is what it came up with -

Chan (ちゃん ?) is a diminutive suffix. It is an informal version of san used to address children and female family members. It may also be used towards animals, lovers, intimate friends, and people whom one has known since childhood. Chan continues to be used as a term of endearment, especially for girls, into adulthood. Parents often call their daughters chan and their sons kun throughout their lives, though chan can be used towards boys just as easily, in particular if it results in a nickname that is particularly pleasing to the ear; such nicknames often spread outside the family circle during the school years. This is still considered very feminine. Adults may use chan as a term of endearment to women with whom they are on close terms.

Chan can be considered a feminine mode of speech in that it is used mainly by, or towards, females. Its pattern of usage is similar to using "dear" when addressing someone in English. Males typically do not use chan when addressing other males, except when referring to very young children, and in idiomatic cases like Shuwa-chan (described below). When they do, it implies a particularly close relationship between them, such as long-time friends or business partners.

"Pet names" are often made by attaching chan to a truncated stem of a name. This implies even greater intimacy than simply attaching it to the full name. So for example, a pet rabbit (usagi) might be called usa-chan rather than usagi-chan. Similarly, Chan is sometimes used to form pet names for celebrities. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger gained the nickname Shuwa-chan in Japanese. Pet-names may also use variations on chan (see "euphonic suffixes", below).

Although traditionally honorifics are not applied to oneself, some young women adopt the affectation of referring to themselves in the third person using chan, a mode of speech normally only found amongst small children. For example, a young woman named Maki might call herself Maki-chan rather than using a first person pronoun.

The Japanese media use chan when mentioning pre-elementary school children and sometimes elementary-school girls.

What's so funny on it?
And cool ... eh ... if you think so, okay, but I dunno whether war really is cool or not ...

[OutPhase]

Once upon a time, my name was not OutPhase, so I requested it to be changed to as such. The End.

Man, that story always gets to me. I laughed, I cried, and then did some other stuff that I shall refrain from going deeper into details. Would reread again.
