    Mine is just an online name first thought of rayday as my cousin as a baby could not say "Rachel" and when I went on ebay to register it was taken so rayday2. Its habit now like a second identity!

    my username for everything. It started cos i'm a weegie, and someone had already taken the name I wanted.

    It's quite annoying though - another forum I post to underlines usernames and people think i'm called weeq. I try not to be petty about it. :A

    I found this site from a recommedation from a post on a BBC message baord and on that I was Shineyhappypeople, obviously from the REM song and it was a little long so I shortened it a bit.

    I am not very creative I am afraid.

    I ended up as Taka as all the names I wanted to use were taken and I'd recently spent ages trying to convince someone my name wasn't taka (in real life) so it kinda stuck!!
