We have a lot of people here at aquaria central and many of them, myself included have usernames that most evertone else will not understand. So what does your user name mean if you don't mind telling the story.
 
Mine is a current evolution of a monicer I've used on the net for several years. Watcher is a shortening of "One Who Watches".

I don't know if anyone here remembers an old site called opendiary.com? Well, back in '99 it was occupied by a lot of fascinating diaries from people all over the world, then it got too large, the owners started charging and messing with it, and all the good journal owners slinked away.

I started a diary in '99 with an author name of One Who Watches that was battling homicidial tendencies(boy, people are going to think me a freak now) and started writing a series of short stories about a tortured serial killer plaqued by a demon/halucination(you were always wondering which one it was, even I haven't figured it out yet) by that name. In self defense I have written numerous stories with all types of personalities. This one just seemed to get the most attention from the online audience.

My sister-in-law wrote a poem about me with the title of observer. Look in the dictionary and it has in brackets right next to Observer [One Who Watches].

Then that d*mn movie with Keanu Reeves named "The Watcher" came out a year later and I look like a copy cat with my subject matter and title. *sigh* Totally different story line though.

Like I'm ever going to be able to publish it.
 
Watcher- what about the 74? Did I miss that part in your post? :confused:

Vato- you didn't explain your's! :D

Mine's the name of my younger sister's previous betta. I named the betta after a car (as I was naming everything after cars at that time for some reason... Vitara is a car name, too), but later discovered the car's title was actually "Rav 4". No surprise, since my eyesight's not too good. :laugh:

I would've attempted to be more creative, but I was in a hurry when I first came upon the site, as I believe I needed help for Rava's bubble eye or something. :)

74 is the year I was born. There is already a "watcher" here. He's been here for 8 months and has made a grand total of 10 posts.

Kinda irritating.
 
Well my username has little to no reason to it really.
A friend of mine started my first e-mail account a number of years ago, He chose the address as a word I made up in, I think, grade 3. And, at that time, my password was vato. The reson behind the password being that?...Well he like a band who had a song that's name was Hey Vato. So I used that as my username when I registered here using it because it was easy and original.
 
Mine is one of my kids name: Tyler
and the rest is one of my kids B'day: 718 (July 18th)

So nothing really extravagent (sp?) to my user name.
