    Wow, everyone has something kind of creative; I just didn't want to use my first name 'cause it felt too personal, so I chose my middle name.
    That's it :lol:

    I didn't knew what to choose, so I just picked a random word that sounded like my last name, so it would be easy to remember it.

    I'm always the one friend who supports or has to help everyone else since I'm not that special. I'm kinda like the secondary character who helps the the main protagonist, so if I'm going to be a sidekick might as well be the best one there is!

    Tritri is a number equal to 3^^^3. I like really big numbers.
    Let f(1) = 3. Then f(2) = 3^3 (three to the power of three) = 27. Then f(3) = 3^27 = 7,625,597,484,987. Then f(4) = 3^7,625,597,484,987, f(5) = 3^f(4), and so on.
    Tritri is equal to f(7,625,597,484,987).

    It's a tribute to Violet Chachki, who won season 7 of RuPaul's Drag Race. I didn't want to use her full name, just in case someone here would think that I was her so I used my favorite color in replacement of "Violet"

    At first I was trying to think of a pun to do with sexuality, because I thoroughly enjoy puns, and I was just stuck on the word 'queer' so the whole pun thing wasn't really working out (since then I've thought of quite a few gay puns). Agrivated by my lack of a decent username, I checked skype. The first word I saw when I opened it was 'chair'. Since I was already thinking about 'queer' my brain combined the words into 'QueerChair.' I then realized that it rhymed and laughed for a good 5 minutes before choosing that as my username.

    Jim is the name i'd like to go by irl. i basically stole it from my hamster (who got it from Jim Moriarty). i had to think a name for myself because back then i had just realized i'm demiboy. also a finnish author had just published a book with the same name as my birth name. because the author's really popular here, the book was advertised literally everywhere and everyone was making jokes about me and the book which took my dysphoria to a Whole New Levelâ„¢ some people think that 'jim' is an old man name, but for me it just brings to mind my cute little fluffball hamster. plus he was chubby and small and liked to be alone so he was basically me 2.0, right?
    mx. is the gender neutral version of mr or mrs. even though i don't identify as demiboy anymore, the mx part just stuck with me lol

    Because I really dislike things with numbers or hashes that are unoriginal as my own username, and I wanted something that meant something to me

    I felt cornered

    I needed to pick one, and I had no idea how to name myself but I didn't want to have some silly username. So I came up with Livelove, which means 'love what/who you want to love' to me. :grin:

    Mine is the main character of my first published story.

    There are at least two other threads about user name origins, in case anyone wants to read more. I'm quite interested in how people and profiles get their names.

    The definition of aberrance is "deviating from the norm" and looking at my side bar profile its pretty obvious why I chose that - was going to be 'aberrant' but it was taken. I have a common username that I usually use on forums but the rules said it has to be completely new.
