Probably been asked before but I don't feel like bumping an old thread. So why'd you pick your username?

Mine is a reference to my favorite rapper, Guru, whose stage name is a backronym for "Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal".

Felix

Mine's my kid's middle name, and it seemed as neutral as I could get while still being sincere. I wasn't sure if I'd stay here.

I love anime and manga and metropolis is one of my favourite films.The central character is Tima, a robot who does`nt realise what she is.Like some androgynes you can`t tell just by looking.I changed the way the name is spelt to make it a bit more personal to me.

Gadgett

We wanted a name that ran paralle with my own. With all the honor, dignaty, and respect of my old one.

PLus it was name the autogenerated in a game once and we loved it. ^.^

justmeinoz

I tried  "just me" but it was already taken, so being an Aussie, I put "in Oz" on the end.

Fighter

There's a few reasons.
1) I know I'm going to have to fight tooth and claw to get through transition. In this case, my choice is living a lie or becoming a fighter, and I think I'd rather die fighting than as a coward.
2) In RPGs I usually play as the melee character (close-ranged fighter), and if there are classes they are often called Fighters or Warriors. I prefer Fighter personally, as it's reminiscent of Final Fantasy and Dungeons and Dragons, not to mention it's generally more neutral than a Knight or a Paladin.

Also I didn't add "Sadie" to the end until recently. I prefer when people call me Sadie than Fighter, since it kind of sounds weird to actually be CALLED that. It fits better as a type of title I think :).

JenJen2011

Jen is a shorter version of my real name. And I thought JenJen sounded cute so I used that. And the reason I added 2011 at the end is pretty obvious. Too bad I won't be able to update it as the years go by. LOL.

LOL you can update it though in "Profile" > "Account Settings", at least the display name.

Wow... I feel boring now. Mine is just my name with the X's because just Andrew was already taken.

Princess tells you everything that you need to know about me.

Ember

Being androgynous I wanted a gender neutral name so I looked at a lot of unisex baby name sites and found Ember.  I really wanted Teagan but it was taken.  I might change my display name to it though.

Pica Pica

Alik Balposod was taken (who? why? why is that one always taken by someone else on every forum who never posts?), I didn't want to be FairRose or Dandelion any more, so I went with PicaPica - because of my m->-bleeped-<-ie tendencies.

Nemo

I've been fond of the band Nightwish for years, and by the time I joined here I was really identifying with the song "Nemo" - I really was one without a name then, as I knew what I was but living a double-life at the time :-\

Joey is a nickname that stuck with me for the longest - it's andro and I think it's cute.

'D' is short for Dahmer.

I like serial killers.

mimpi

I used to be mimpiburuk (mimpi buruk = nightmare) on the now defunct Guardian Talk site. Thought about being mimpiindah (mimpi indah = beautiful dream) but modesty got the better of me so ended up with just mimpi...
