It means switch. And yes, that is confusing.

Confusing as hell. I thought you were German all the time -.-

[Kleene Onigiri]

Conia = My life nickname

Same as Dus I think, except I won't reveal where it comes from

Embarrasing origins then? (So it's nothing to do with Conan or Akai?)

And I never said where mine come from, just the offical version, one that isn't all that insulting imho.

Waaaaait... So, Conan x Akai would actually be Conai? :V OH SHI-- this explains a lot! Just kidding :x

[Memesu]

Well, at the time I joined here, I didn´t really care about what my username should be, so I just chose this, since it was easy to remember.

AiCon fann...

[Spongebobby]

I love spongebob

[Tegari]

Needed a character name for a game...
Wanted something japanese but all ma fav character names were already in use so i made up a name and started using it elsewhere aswell.
But i only started using in since last summer.

[Dark Ren]

just want to make a similar thread, do some quick search and found this. so here I go  ;)

DarkRen comes from Dark and Ren (of course  ;D )

Ren is not my real name. It is my pen name. When I was an author for my school magazine, I wanted to make a pen name started with an "R" because my real name starts with an "R". Now most of my friends call me that.

Dark is Dark  :D. I kinda like it because it sounds so evil  >:D . Originally it comes from a game. Anyone here played Chrono Cross? While the main chara (Serge) became evil, he named himself DarkSerge. so here it is, DarkRen  ;D

I use this name everywhere, so if you found "DarkRen" or "Dark Ren" in another forum, IRC or online game, it is me  ;)

[Yukimi]

well, the first timeI had to create an email adress I used my real name substituting the a's for 4's and added a 7 so I spent a lot of time using p4ul47 as a nickname, then Pauchan7 but some years ago i decided to create an actual nickname for me that would stuck and serve as my japanese nickname to boot.

I wanted a name that existed in normal japanese but that it would be weird enough not many people would have the same so I went to one website I haven't been able to find again that showed all the possible kanji combinations of real names in Japan sorted by kana (it was like hundreds of pages ) and spent one entire afternoon browsing through it for an already existing name combination of two of my fave manga characters (Yukino from Karekano and Izumi, the teacher of Edo & Alphonse from FMA) so it was between Yukimi and Yukumi and since yukumi didn't appeared to be a real name or at least very very very weird and Yukimi also sounded better I ended up with it with the kanji combination of going to watch the snow (since I hadn't watched snowing ever then and then the one I usually use) or beautiful snow if I wanted to have a more standar and realistic name. Sometimes it's taken so I go by Yukimi87 (my year of birth). I like my real name but i identify more with my online one nowadays.

PS: I also took my time to name my cats. I'm crazy like that.
