The Obvious...

When you can't think of anything else, use the obvious!



When I can't think of anything I like to use my favorite screen name which is sayongja_irum.

Which translates to ... User_name in Korean. I know no one else will have it and everyone will ask what it is/what it means, so I say it's my username and it usually starts up a conversation like the joke about who's on first and what's on second, you get the idea.

That or I take two things and mush them together. Like one screen name I have is GrLvsBoy I made it when I was younger, about 12-13. Which means Girl Loves Boy (because I had a crush on this one guy). I figured boy was short enough, so I left it. Or just making two words share a letter. Example: NekOni which translate to Kitty Demon in Japanese. Neko - Kitty and Oni - Demon.

Very nice! It's unique and probably better than any generic names. Anyong haseyo! Yup. I know a few words in Korean.

Very inventive. I like the use of foreign languages used as IM names.

I really like the "user_name" one. That's really creative.

Thanks, I think using other languages really help in creating new names with the world being so vast and full of people we all need unique names.

Gotta love Gaia... lol

Well, aside from all the crappy happenings since version... whatever it was. =/ I liked it better back in '05. I was full of more joy about being there than I am now. xD But that's off-topic, isn't it?
