Well, I've been using the screen name Chiisai for quite a few years now. 'Chiisai' (小さい) is the Japanese word for 'small' or 'little'. When I was younger there were some kids who always called me "short" and stuff like that, so now I thought I'd make something out of it.
Thread revived cos there's really a lot of new users now since the last date.
I was just thinking of a username that would rhyme and sound pleasant... Then the 26th is my birth date. I remember someone got confused cos I said I was 21 years old...?
Interesting thread
Well my username started as a misspelled word (it was "worm book" originally) b/c I translated the word literally from my mother tongue.
Later I found out that it's also a possible interpretation of my real name.
Finally it's the embodiment of my ideals, and my way of life. Many, well, unpleasant things happened that led me to think of and use this name, but let's not talk about that.
Now I use this name as my 2nd name, and foreign name. (I always burst out laughing when foreigners say my real name. It's totally unrecognizable )
Oh, and I didn't like the " " in "worm book" so I omitted it.
My nickname came from Gundam Wing Endless Waltz, and '00 was when I first started using nataku online. It's my most common username for internet things (usually nataku or nataku00).
since i'm a huge fan of kaguya from touhou (i'm pretty much obsessed with her), ofc i had to have a username based off of her lol
in particular, "immortalbirdcage" comes from (one of my favorite interpretations of) her situation in canon; this picture i saw on pixiv only cemented it lol (i didn't share it here because it's a persona crossover, and persona/shadow can be... disturbing, lol and i'm still not sure as to the guidelines on this forum)
I dreamed of 2 person, a male and a female, calling me with the name Ophelia in my dream. I only heard their voices but cannot see who is calling me. When I head towards the direction of the voices calling me, I woke up. Even though Ophelia is not the name my parents had given me, when the voices called out Ophelia, I immediately knew they are calling to me. It's an instinctual feeling. Ever since that dream I had when I was 16, I stick to the name until today... at the age of 21 this year in 2013.
No one I knew in real life can pronounce "Ophelia" correctly.
As for "Arcana", I derived that from the word "arcane", which is related to arcane magic, due to my mania with Warcraft lore back then in my teens.
Corpse Princess, its a anime that I really liked and wanted to treasure it some how so I thought hey what the heck I'll have it as my name. Plus sometimes i feel like the walking dead that kicks ass >.>
This character from a confidential anime, which the first one I discovered ever, is called 大間 仁, Daima Jin. In French it was adapted as Jim Daïma. My nickname comes from a misinterpretation of the diaeresis on the "i", which actually serves to isolate the "i" from that "a", "da-i-ma" (without it, it would sound like "die-ma", but I thought was used to replace two "i"s, like in Hawaï/Hawaii for example. I was young at this time, I had absolutely no knowledge of Japanese
Why this character? He loves sleeping and eating. Like me.
and i'm still not sure as to the guidelines on this forum)
