I thought it had something to do with those Japanese Transformers.

Haha, you guys are funny. :) And I've not the slightest idea what a Guinan Ronin is. I haven't watched Star Trek or Stargate (except the movie) and I generally just don't follow any TV series, unless you count anime.

I decided to take "Leatra" as my username pretty much randomly. I thought of Lea first but I thought it was too short so I just added some cool-sounding words. The result was Leatra. Funny thing is, there are a couple of Twitter and Facebook pages with Leatra as the first name or the last name. After realizing that, I decided to go with "Artael" (backwards Leatra) but you know, your first nickname gets stuck on you and people have a difficult time recognizing you and stuff. You also kinda miss your old nickname.

Just take solace, GUNIN, in the fact that you probably picked a better username than me. (I have had this one for years, but still, I only realized last yearish how immature it might sound.)

I feels mine suckes camels too since it looks like some junkie reference.

I chose it years ago as from what i remember a username for Syndicate Wars, even tho i dont think i even needed a name for that game?  Anyways there was pack o foil packed (for freshness) crisps id been munching n hunted for random word looking about.  Think was 1st user name ever i picked for game or computer stuff lol.

At least we dont have "xXx" etc etc at start and end lol.

Basically, I used to be called Bonobo (or just Bono) when I was young. And so, when I was thinking about a username I could use for various things, I subconsciously came up with what I had been called for a long time: Bono. However, I didn't realise that this was actually the name of a type of monkey at the time, and used what Bono sounded like: Borno. As the years passed, I learnt what my username actually was supposed to symbolise, leading to me sometimes using 'Bo' on the end of the username, which would look like 'Borno Bo'. And so when I signed up onto the Bay 12 forums guess what I chose.

tl;dr, Borno=Bonobo-bo+r.

So yeah, I guess mine is kinda like Vespulan's, except it's english instead of latin. So if you really want to change your username chose an animal based one.  :P

I like Bornobo. Sounds cool, and reminds me of Robo from Chrono Trigger for literally no reason.

Robo?  That's a terrible name!  I know!  How about...

R66-Y?
Get out.

But seriously, I hate naming the main character. My older brother would always call them Baller or German.

I got my username ages ago when I was just starting to use online accounts. I wanted something that wouldn't be taken, so I named myself after a minor character in a book I had just finished. Later I found out the actual name was Ramuthra and I had been misspelling it the whole time. It's never taken though, so I can use it for everything.

Thus I would suggest just using your current name. It may not seem like a good name in itself, but it's recognizable and you build a persona around it.
