About My Name

My name is pretty boring along with the story that goes with it.
Unless you've looked on my page, then you've likely pronounced my name wrong. It's pronounced S|eye|b, weird right?
Well, it came from my first game name, Siberian Husky 101. Yeah, I was like thirteen when I came up with that. Don't judge me.
behr/madoka was the first to come up with the nickname 'Sib'. Then, all of the sudden everyone was calling me Sib. By like late 2014, I had changed my game name to Sib, as it was catchy. As well as much easier to say than the other ones.

At the time I was in love with dogs (still am), and wanted to become a dog trainer. Well, I adored huskies most of all. That's where the Siberian Husky came from. 101 came from the show I watched all the time 'Dogs 101'.

I don't plan to change my name anytime soon, as I just love it.

I don't really have any preferences on nicknames. My friends, love to make funny versions of it. Sibby, Sibbers, Sibster, etc. It's even funnier when someone misspells it or it is auto-corrected. Usually it is to Sin, Sub, Sir, or Sit.

Sometimes mattering on who they are they'll call me Sib. Mostly my mom. A few of my nicknames irl are Ash, and Little Brat (my dad calls me that. It is a long story, that could fill a book. Don't worry everyone, it's not an insult. Just a joke between me and him).

What made you choose your name? DarkBucpehalus or Bucephalus is a lot to type :)

Does it mean anything special? It's short for Bucephalus, which was the name of Alexander the Great's war horse, and the man was a personal hero of mine.

Do you ever plan to change it (If so explain why)? Nope. Had it since I was 12

How do you pronounce it? Buh-ck, or if you go fool on for Bucephalus then B-you-sef-uh-lis

Preferred nicknames? Buck.

Funny things you've been called? Lady Bug :p LOOKIN AT YOU DUCKY

Do people call you it irl? No.

Hailyx pronounce "hail-ix"

It was the name of the first character I ever created for a book. It has stuck with me ever since. One day I will revisit the story I started in high school (10 years ago now!!!), work it over, and finish it.
Don't plan to change it.
I have been called that in real life a couple times. But my real name is Ashley so there's Ash, Ashers, Ashlaylay. Dad has always called me rugrat.

@hailyx: Same real name! Ash is my main rl nickname as I said above.

What made you choose your name? If I were to ever have a ranch of my own, I would name it GWG Ranch.

Does it mean anything special? It stands for God's Will Goes as in if I had a ranch or not, it would be His will.

Do you ever plan to change it (If so explain why)? Not really, I've tried other names with the GWG, but never liked them that much to keep it. I had GWG Kanona which Kanona is my hawaiian name in rl. I also had GWG Pelipa which means "horse lover" in Native American because I am NA in rl.

How do you pronounce it? G W G

Preferred nicknames? GWG or Ruby calls me GW

Funny things you've been called? G, GW, GWG..not many

How do you pronounce it? Like.. the animal. Squeak, squeak. xD

Preferred nicknames? Whatever you call me is fine. I really don't mind.

What made you choose your name?
I just liked the sound of it, really. I heard it on TV once a very long time ago. I think it was the name of a dog that was on the Dog Whisperer.

Does it mean anything special?
Not that I'm aware of! I think it might just be made up tbh, but I liked it when I heard it so it stuck with me

Do you ever plan to change it (If so explain why)?
I don't see myself changing it, I still like it. If I were to ever change it it would most likely be because I found something I liked even more.

How do you pronounce it?
"Tall-er-ie"
I suppose it could also be "too-ler-ie" but the first one is how I've always pronounced it myself. I always spell it all lowercase just cause I like the way it looks compared to Tolarie... Not sure why hahaha

Preferred nicknames?
I don't really have any! Some people just shorten it to Tol, or I had one person refer to me as Larie ("Larry" - it was an inside joke)

Funny things you've been called?
Hmm, just Larie I suppose!

Do people call you it irl?
Not at all! It's only a name I use online, it has never come up in real life

What made you choose your name? Keyboard mash that I thought looked cool at the time

Does it mean anything special? nope

Do you ever plan to change it (If so explain why)? I've gone through a couple of names (Aryk, Aelae, Irosia[also all button mashes]) but I always come back to kimtia, or some equivalent.

Preferred nicknames? I don't really care, you could say "hey you! with the face!" and I would probably reply...

Funny things you've been called? Kim, Kimmy, Kimmeh

Do people call you it irl? nope, very few people in RL knows my screen name for things, I like to keep it that way. The internet is my RL escape, and if people know my screen name I can't escape very well. xP

So 21 years ago when I was a whipper snapper of 8 and AOL was first readily accessible to the public, 8yo me decided her AOL screen name was going to be imaluckyducky with some numbers after it.
