Hey everyone, just wanted to post that I changed my username. Formerly known as: Water_Angel08... and now I'm:

.: Trumpets sound :.
Abiding Angel

And a little definition according to dictionary.com:
Abiding: [uh-bahy-ding]
~adjective: Continuing without change; enduring; steadfast.
~verb: To put up with; tolerate; to wait for, to dwell or sojourn.

I've been Water Angel ever since I signed up with Gaia. I mainly chose it because of my adoration for Sailor Mercury. redface rofl It's so embarrassing to admit that, but I really loved her as a character. *^_^* However, I've grown up and I feel it's time to make a more mature change. The word "abiding" works well to describe my life, plus it's a word people usually know. (I hated explaining to people the meaning behind Water Angel because I would get embarrassed so easily. Plus no one understood it but me.) XD So what do you all think?

~ Has anyone else ever changed their username?
~ What's your story behind the changes?
~ Or, if you have the same one, what's the meaning behind it?

Hm...While I am a HUUUUGE fan of alliteration, your name change will take some getting used to. Oh well, at least I can still call you Angel! XD

I've had the same name (or variations of it) ever since I became really active on the internet. I'm proud to say that there is no other mugoi usagi out there. Variations are: mugoiusagi, mugoi usagi, mugoi.usagi, and mugoi_usagi.
I was trying to come up with a good screen name that I wouldn't want to change (I was flamegirl38 in middle school. 38 is the number of a certain fire pokemon! XD) and I was taking Japanese at the time so I wanted it in Japanese to reflect my interest in it. I liked Usagi because I always signed things with little bunnies so I had to find a descriptor to go with it. Mugoi is what I found. I was looking for something like ferocious rabbit. Mugoi means cruel. The joke among a few of my friends is that I'm the monty python bunny now. ^_^ The name has become who I am and I don't think I could ever change it!

Aha ha, yeah I had a feeling people would have to get used to it. Surprisingly, I've already got it down. ^_^ And yeah, just call me Angel - it's shorter and easier.

XD Yeah, when I realized Mugoi meant cruel I was thinking, "Cruel? She's not cruel! ._. Lies!" rofl

Hi Abiding Angel~!
As for Yamaxchan (as you know the x is silent like xXx Holic) I received t he name Yamato from my friends in 7th grade since my favorite Digimon character was named Yamato but it changed to me "Ancient Japanese Soul" when Mrs. Tanahashi showed me the Kanji for it. I have been Yama ever since! I added the -chan to add some Japanese flare as well as a cute ending, but I have been Yamaxchan on the internet for pretty much everything ever since!

Sometime I want to change my name, but I can never come up with anything better or it's just too much of a hassle. Plus, it is kinda cute! heart

XD Yamato! I miss Digimon. I lost track after the like 3rd or 4th season.

And wow, I was wondering what "Yama" meant. That's awesome!
