What does your TSR username mean? I'll go first!

In light of my never-ending lore, and my dedication to being a better entertainment forum helper I have made this thread.
(Also because I'm incredibly nosy- who isn't?)

So, so how did I get my username?

Well the story's very simple:

I wanted to be a spy when I was younger, to be specific, a field agent, 007 James Bond wouldn't be able to hold a candle to me. My name would be whispered on the streets, I'd topple governments, battle corruption. I'd be the most valuable asset of MI6.

To put it simply...it didn't work out :frown:

To prepare for the now non-existent spy career I thought I'd have, I decided to keep my digital footprint very clean. Whenever I signed up to websites I'd always use a fake e-mail never give out my real name and always sign up as the opposite sex on any website.

Hey..if the Russian mafia came looking..they'd never find me! (I was also young and dumb..it take less than 30 seconds to find an IP address and therefore my real name and everything but Shhh...don't tell 8-year-old me this information she'd have a heart attack!)

So here I am studying for plan B and still retaining a username that makes everyone think I'm a boy.

Now I want to know what everyone's usernames mean...tagged my gyg family please do not share if you feel uncomfortable but do share if you want, I need something to make me smile!

And if your username is just your normal name do tell us why your parent/s picked it!!

I love the story and the history behind your username :lol:
Kinda sounds like 10 yo me deciding she wanted to be the next hero out of a book :h:

My username comes from The Legend Of Zelda series. Silent Princess is a flower that grows in the wild and can't be grown domestically by the Hylians (the people of Hyrule) yet. It's also said to resemble Princess Zelda, one of the main protagonists (the girl in my pfp - drawn by one of my favourite Zelda artists!) so yeah!
The 13 at the end is well... because I'm born on the 13th of a month 😅😅😅

I don't really know where exactly my username came from to be honest but I can say it is not my real name but it was one of the names my parents did plan to name me and they do call me it sometimes soooo :smile:

Anyways, my username with just the name 'LAIBA' was taken so I had to get creative and use a different font, lol.

Sorry it was not that exciting but here we are I guess :nyan:

Oh stop this is so cute...i can't play games to save my life but I used to watch this youtuber called stampylongnose (well known for minecraft) and he used to always play zelda. The graphics in Zelda are so pretty so I'd always watch his videos.

Thank you for sharing💜💜💜

My favourite subject is Geography and my favourite number is 7. Very simple.:yep:

It’s the name of a genus of foliose liverworts in the family Lophocoleaceae, order Lepidoziales, class Jungermanniopsida, subdivision Marchantiophytina and division Setaphyta.

In other words, the Greek name of a rather pretty group of plants related to but distinct from mosses, known as the crestworts in English. Many of the members have a delightful “petrichor” smell to them, terpenoids such as geosmin (an irregular sesquiterpene C12H22O, but there are others present) which lingers for quite some time even when the plant is dried.

HELP HAZZA (already knew your lore but this is more😱)
My lore is more basic:p: I didn't want friends I knew to find me on TSR but I also wanted one that was solely unique to me lol. So I used my nickname Tricia -> and turned in into a pun Tricks = Trickia:colone:
