Day Three: What are the inspirations for your characters' usernames?

I am terrible at journal naming! It's something I hate doing because I know there are so many clever usernames out there and I can never think of any!

Often I just use the characters name ( [info]darcybrianna , [info]mert , [info]brooke_p , [info]llew etc. etc.) or a variation on their name ([info]beckons , [info]blaking) or traits ([info]benignant, [info]verbosely, [info]assiduously)

I liked [info]dramatised for Evie because she was obsessed with drama. I think it was only available because I spell it with an s. Yay Australian spelling! My other Evie journal [info]asgoodastv comes from the song P.S by Jenny Owen Youngs which starts "I can't make real life as good as television".

[info]cadiot/[info]evilplan were both good Rhodri journals. Cadiot because his last name is Cadwallader and he's an idiot, evil plan because he's the evil plan to Lolly's evil mastermind.

[info]beeline is for Duncan Inglebee. I figured there were lots of saying about bees and I should use one of them. And then there were only things like bee in you bonnet so he ended up with beeline.

[info]off_the_cuffe is from off the cuff but for a Cuffe. I quite liked this one!

[info]unblairable I stole from the Gossip Girl episode "the unblairable lightness of being". I have [info]thefairyqueen for a character called Titania, who's named after the Shakespeare character, and [info]greeneggsandham for Lewis Robins because he's a Robins. 

Mostly they're just boring though and I use whatever I can think of.

I like [info]edonamonday for Edmond Pucey, [info]franklyido for Franktastic Crabbe because I came up with them! :P

But more seriously, I love Lewis'. It's so cute and apt. And both of Rhodri's journals!

I should've added that some of my usernames come from you because when I can't think of anything I get you to do it for me! :p

Thanks! I think you came up with cadiot too. And I still love that icon.

You probably should have! Sometimes I enjoy inventing journal names. Except for the times when I ping you and whinge about hating it. Which is currently only 10% of the time I make journals just judging by the sheer number I have in play, forget the inactive ones...

Yeah - probably because Lolly was calling him "Cadiot". I love that both his usernames are things Lolly calls him. It's cute.

That icon is the cutest. I don't usually ship celebs, but OMG, can they just hurry up and get back together? Please?

And I'm pretty unhelpful that 10% of the time!

He sort of likes Lolly?

Agreed.
