Did you have an easy time coming up with your username?

I was overthinking so it took me a good while. Was just afraid of winding up with a boring name then be stuck known as the one with a bad username. So I tried to make it something a bit mysterious and intriguing but still something welcoming. I was gonna use DarkSugar at first. Like perplex but sweet. But then I chose Dark Delight because they start with the same letter. Plus it kinda fits my personality so win-win 🥇 How'd you decide on yours?

I didn't want to use the same username I used on EP, as I didn't want anyone knowing who I was here on SW. "Maybesomeday" has a lot of meanings to it, and it seemed fitting for my new username anyway.
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@maybesomeday oh you wanted like a fresh start?

My is my pen name, and online alter-ego. In fact, more people know me by "Gwydion Frost" on this planet than they do by my real name. I chose this name waaaaaay back in 1990. Here's why:

Gwydion: The meaning is difficult to explain. The word "gwyddion" means "trees" or "forest" {a more common word is goddeu, which is related}, but can also mean "weaver" and "loom." A related word, "gwyddonydd," means "scientist." Now, taking into consideration that the word Druid--magician, priest, and judge of Celtic society--is thought to derive from "drus" meaning oak, it is likely that the word for scientist is derived from forest--the man of learning gained his learning from nature. Hense, the name implies one who is learned, steeped in knowledge both esoteric and scientific, and weaves his way in spells and science, rather like an alchemist.

Frost: A tip of the hat to Robert Frost, the talented Vermont poet. Also, when combined with Gwydion, becomes a really "cool" name, pardon the pun. :P


Now, spend ANY time getting to know me, and you will understand that Gwydion is the PERFECT name for me.
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@GwydionFrost hahaha based on that you seem like a really "cool" person to get to know!
GwydionFrost · 56-60, M
@DarkDelight Why, thank you! I'd also forgotten to mention, when I served in the Marines, my comrades called me "Druid", because I interacted with nature in ways those city boys had never seen before... ;)
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@GwydionFrost lol that makes you even more awesome. I'm a nature lover ❤️
TechniCoIorBroccoli · 46-50, F
I had the angels whisper in my ear
CaptainCanadia · 41-45, M
@TechniCoIorBroccoli You know the best angels.
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@TechniCoIorBroccoli lucky you lol 😇
Mordi · 31-35, M
I hired a team of name experts.
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@Mordi Can you clap with your feet?
Mordi · 31-35, M
Nope. Just my juicy booty. 😭
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@Mordi at least that's something 😂
wyolatex · 41-45, M
Mine was pretty easy. Place where I live and an...overridding interest of mine!
wyolatex · 41-45, M
@DarkDelight Not original or deeply filled with obscure meaning, but it works!
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@wyolatex I think it works too!

It was going to be "Alarming confession" but I decided on AwakeningConfession, because things about my life I confess here are alarming or awakening, the 9 at the end is my fave number which resembles completion in numerology.
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@SW-User lol well you won't scare me away
SW-User
@DarkDelight well that's alright then lol.
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@SW-User 😋
JoshuaCo19 · 26-30, M

DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@JoshuaCo19 haha nice! That's a lot simpler
ruzgar · 22-25
Unlike my old usernames,this one is very simple.I have always loved rain,wind and storms.Ruzgar(rewz gaar) means "wind" in my language,and its an unique name.But i can't change my name yet so its my username🌬
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@ruzgar wow it's good one! What language is that?
ruzgar · 22-25
Thanks 😌 its in Turkish
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@ruzgar welcome! That's great 😁
walabby · 61-69, M
I just wanted something short and simple and reminiscent of where I live.
Does the "Dark" part of your username refer to your skin color, or the thoughts that you have?.. :)
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@walabby I'm pretty pale actually lol it refers more to my mysteriousness
walabby · 61-69, M
@DarkDelight That works. It's a great username.. :)
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@walabby thanks 😊
goodguy007 · 41-45, M
Interesting! Double D also stands for something else. Lol

Regarding my name, well I am a good guy and a big James Bond fan. So, it was simpler :)
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@goodguy007 dang I'm one D off from the whole triad lol sometimes simplicity is the best way to go
goodguy007 · 41-45, M
@DarkDelight always my dear! But simple can be difficult at times :)
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@goodguy007 true!

I like names that use an adjective. Thus, I chose eristic cause I don't mind debating over things. I see usernames as more of a title than a name, so I chose to be known as the eristic one.
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@SW-User I like it!
CaptainCanadia · 41-45, M
Honestly, I just picked it because it's a play on Typhoid Mary and it amuses me. My real name is not Jerry at all.
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@CaptainCanadia lol nice, what's your real name?
CaptainCanadia · 41-45, M
@DarkDelight Dave. Exciting, right?! :D
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@CaptainCanadia Very 😀Wow you're like the third David/Dave I've met here
EnigmaticGeek · 61-69, M
I chose my profile name because I'm actually a geek, and I'm an enigma. GeekyEnigma didn't sound as good as EnigmaticGeek, IMHO.
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@EnigmaticGeek I agree with that
chocolatecupcakes · 22-25, F

Kuro means black and neko is cat in Japanese, so it's a combination of those.
DarkDelight · 36-40, F
@SW-User black cat?
