You all have usernames on here, and to me, they're typically obscure and most likely reference something that I - an uncultured heathen - am not very familiar with.
So what's the story behind the username of your choice? Where has it come from?
Being the OP, I may as well start with mine. I first set foot on a Final Fantasy-related forum many years ago (at least it feels like a long time ago for me. This was around maybe early 2009) as Stella Nox Fleuret. This being a site that allows members to regularly change their usernames, for no concrete reason I decided to jettison most of the character's name and shorten it down to the current and simple Fleur. And I've stuck with it since. It's hardly a profound username origin I admit, but it's somewhat further up the ladder than if I had called myself xXxepicgamergurl<3xX.
Additionally, it's hilarious hearing other people attempt to pronounce the name. "Flu-ugh" and "Flee-urr" seem to be the common results. Interestingly, many people have trouble just spelling it. I've lost count the number of times I've seen this simple five-letter name reconstructed as "Fluer".
