    Bernice is the female name of the crossdressing character in the novel I'm writing. The name itself is taken from the character of Bernice summerfield, former companion of the Doctor (hence profile pic.)

    I chose it because I like the game adventure quest worlds and one of my favorite characters in it is Wolfwing.

    My Original username "PunkyChan00" Was a slight modificatio to a very old accpunt of mine i deleted. I chose Punky as it eas a feminine name of the nickname my dad gave me,"Punk", and i wanted to keep it living.

    Also, My current name of RoseChan00, came from the fact i feel my name if i was to transition, should be Rose. I don't want to go into any symbolism, but to me it expresses alot of my qualities, but the main inspiration was a quote from romeo and Juliet "A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet"

    From the Beach House song, "Home Again". The album that the song is from happens to be called "Devotion". But in the song, I thought that it was "Constant heart of my devotions" when it was really "Constant heart of my devotion" (no "s"), so I named myself "devotions".

    My name is Sawyer, and my user name is TomSawyer because he's a well known character in classic literature and his last name is my first name. Not super original.

    It's bunnicula because that's the name of my favourite children's book, which I've had ever since I forgot to give it back to the fourth grade teacher.

    Looking to get it changed because that phase has passed me

    It has some relationship to my actual surname. That's a hint, for those who can figure it out.

    I work in finance and am often required to dress pretty conservatively. I LOVE neon colors and socks with wacky designs that allow me to show my personality in an otherwise formal environment.

    It was going to be something more specific to my interests, but I was paranoid that my friends might find me here before i came out to them. So I just thought of calling myself pi. why not?

    "Umi" - sea/ocean in Japanese.
    "Wyverx" - as in Wyvern.
    So, "Sea Wyvern".
    Z- is a cool letter.
    and
    x - is also a cool letter.

    Thus, i'm this now i guess.

    My new username is based on a cutesy version of my adopted name of Kimberly. This was always a favourite of mine anyway, so it was only a matter of time.

    My username came about mostly because in the summer, there are two things I really look forward to. The first thing being thunderstorms, but because I don't think a storm represents me that much, I went with the second thing which is being able to hear crickets sing.

    I love when I can finally hear the crickets outside. It always makes me smile.

    For that same reason, mine is the name of an album I quite like, rather than an album I love! :wink:

    Well, it comes from Dylan Yates, which a character I created a long time ago that kinda represents me.
    Dylan means great tide and Yates means gate, they're both Welsh names (which also represents me) and when I came up with the name the meaning basically described me. I was a complete rising tide locked by some sort of gate. Things changed, but the name stayed, and now it's part of my stories.
