Hi everybody.
I've noticed in the last few months that quite a few regular members (and mods) have changed their usernames. As someone with sporadic attendance and contribution, this has the unfortunate side effect of my being behind on some of those changes. Sometimes I log on and am lost in a swirl of confusing because I have no idea who are really behind the new useranmes. But I digress.
I say all this because I am curious: how did people choose their usernames and, if you have, what has prompted you to change them?
I'll start: I chose mine for the reason that you would expect. Also, I'm a teacher (sometimes).

NB: the current reason for display name changes is the controversial trendsetting thread by zortegus, What's In & What's Out. but people have been modifying their display names as a part of profile decoration since time out of mind.

Semblance is the name of one of my characters, and I didn't know what to name myself when I first joined.

My username is because I'm basically what TV Tropes calls a Perky Goth. I like fuzzy and sparkly stuff while also being a walking Hot Topic ad. My current display name is for Halloween.

My current name is something B. said after the lit fest. For a while I went with a birds in different languages theme because my original user name is duck in Swedish. I might get back to that at some point.

If you are on a computer (rather than a phone), you can hover your mouse over the username and see the user's @-name, which never changes. I'm Terry, btw.
