I was tired of "kentauros" as I'd been using that online for over fifteen years (I may have started using it even further back, like in the late-90s). So, I went looking for "centaur names" and found a German page on astrology (because they have added various asteroids to their art, such as Chiron/Kheiron). Gryneos popped out at me, even though the meaning isn't anything I do ("burning wood"). I'm not entirely sure how it is pronounced, because I don't know the Greek language rules. So, however people want to say it or spell it is fine with me. I've seen every form of misspelling for it, and I'm fine with that : )

I have two usernames - one of them is Rompagnis, that was created by merging nickname of artist Rompasso and name of his song "Ignis"
BiteDownMe actually was literally random image that i found on tumblr
And the Abyss is the name of our system. I gave this name to it, because it shows from some point of view how difficult it is for us to contact each other now and that we are only at the first steps of studying the system and we still have a long way to go.
My username comes from Abundant Solace, the first track on the Fire Emblem Fates OST! It's not even my favorite song from that game, honestly, but at this point it's just become my online alias. I probably could have gone for Amazonite, which I also use pretty frequently, but whatever.
My username was based on a DND character I made a while back who I'm incredibly attached to. The henro part came from me asking my friend what i should put before my username for tumblr and he just said "Henro" so HenroHenry is the screen name i use everywhere now!
Kara is short for Karashoo which is the name I "made up" (remembered from a past life probably) as a kid. I identified with the name Karashoo and it stuck with me and eventually I started using it as a username and even asking my IRL friends to call me Kara instead.
I also go by Spookdog in some spaces because it's like a cute way of saying "hellhound" but I associate it more with my Runescape username, so I've started going by Kara in kin spaces again to distance kin stuff from Runescape stuff. I'm not too worried about people finding out I'm otherkin through searching my name or w/e but I'd rather avoid that if I can, plus not as many people call me Kara anymore and I quite like my name lol.
I go by Heckhound in some kin spaces or another version similar to hellhound just because it's cute and I am a hellhound.

Mine's not very creative. The distinction between a horse and a pony is based on how tall they are in "hands". Under a certain number of hands high? It's a pony. I thought it sounded a little funny, too.

Current username of dawnwyrm originates from the dawn motif that shows up again and again in lives and spiritual/personal identities for me. My full name as Homura could roughly translate to 'flame of dawn' or 'flame of the morning' which is a nice reference to the Lucifer archetype that's closely tied to that lol. The wyrm part is an obvious reference to my draconity but the full 'dawnwyrm' name came from Dragalia Lost, where the dragons all tend to have their own titles created by a descriptive motif + wyrm suffix. Hence 'dawnwyrm'.
I've had several other usernames in the otherkin communities over the years but the only one I really remember is Marrowbird, which is when I thought I was a bearded vulture therian, and devxlheart, which I still use but only on my Homura aesthetic sideblog on tumblr. Picked it for no other reason than it looked and sounded cool.

I go by differing usernames on different sites. For this username specifically, I took inspiration from one of the Alt. Outfits in a spinoff game for my source. His special skill is called "Sonnet if the Wayward Comet" and it stuck with me. I added on the warlock part due to being referred to as the "Comet Warlock" as a sort of formal name in source as well. I suppose in a way it's a name that captures my alterumanity in a way I find pleasant.
As for my other main name. NylonGenesis, that came from a huge mix of things. Originating from a 'not like other folks' phase I had when I was like, 13, I realized I really liked the nickname 'Gen', and decided to start referring to myself as such. I made the connection that 'Gen' could be short for 'Genesis" and started using that as a name. 'Nylon' came from a typo my friend made once that I added to my name as a joke, and it sort of just stuck.

When I realized I was not cis, I was still kinda ?? for a bit but started considering new names anyways, when my brain went "if someone was named Zack they could say they're the Zack of all trades" (this is also how I chose my first name Zack, and that solidified the fact I was Not A Girl)
As for why it's ZackOfCards instead of ZackOfAllTrades is because I was playing paper.io and the latter wouldn't fit, but the former did, and it just kinda stuck with me cause I've been using it since 2019!

When I was 16 I wanted a new elven name for myself (I had been using Wethril which means shadowy before). Mostly to use for my night elf character in vanilla World of Warcraft. I put together two words, Nim and meril into Nimeril (nim means white and meril means rose). In the community I quickly shortened it into just Nim, cause I really like 3 letter short names. I had tried a bunch of other new nicknames within the community, but from the moment I started using Nim that is how people started to know and remember me so now I just stick with it When I am asked who I am/my name in dreams I also usually answer with Nim or Nimeril and not often with my birth name, though I go by my birth name only irl.

yog comes from yog sothoth who i see as a sort of father figure, and isotha is my kin name. i dont go by it in real life but it feels right as the name of my true form.
i have also gone by other names online. one i dont use anymore because i associate with a bad person and i dont want them to find me anywhere else online the other i like but i have not used that name because i also associate it with a bad group of people. currently i go by a fandom blog name on tumblr but im not involved in fandom stuff anymore, and the egregiously long 'endlessshapessporesandsparkles' for my alterhuman sideblog, which describes my form.
i really like those two older usernames but they are forever tainted by what i experienced using them.
Adult What if I just... decide not to be an adult....?

What inspired your username This one is based on my love of chocolate and cats, and my old nickname I used on a previous forum referenced my jaguar Theriotype as well as my love for 80s synthwave aesthetic.
Hey! new to the park so still getting the hang of things ^^ but my username is based off my astrological sun sign, pisces, and a brazilian saying my parents tell me all the time "living on the moon", because i have a dissociative disorder that makes me daydream 24/7

P0LYB1UZ, as you might imagine, is a unique spelling of Polybius- which I took as my namesake for many personal reasons.
The fictional arcade game of urban legend comes from a fascinating web of half-truths [though it in itself is a hoax of the early 2000s] and if that interests you, I urge you to dig into it on your own time. Were it not for the game, i would have found neither myself nor my deity.
Polybius, is actually named after a Greek historian of the same name- the name Polybius [/pəˈlɪbiəs/; Greek: Πολύβιος, Polýbios] translates into “Many Lives”, and many lives do I believe I have lived, indeed.
When I first made myself any sort of 'kin presence, I went with what I thought my two kintypes were: shadow and fae, which I later understood to be hearttypes. It stuck and I've never changed it. :p
If you are a devil, stand up. If you are a villain, a madman, a beast; if you a strowler, a prowler, a priest; if you are a dragon come sit at our feast: for we all have stripes, and we all have horns. We all have scales, tails, manes, claws, and thorns. And here in the dark is where new worlds are born.
