Seriously, dude, what does your username mean?

[mollyringle]

You. Yes, you. How and why did you select your username, if you don't mind sharing? (Ignore if patently obvious; e.g., "Uh, it's my actual name.")

I'll get the ball rolling.
LemonLye is the proper way to write my nick, but LJ doesn't allow capital letters. This was one of my first chat nicknames, chosen about six years ago when I was way, way into The Cure. Source: their song "The Caterpillar"; lyric: "Dust my lemon lies with powder pink and sweet..." I originally was LemonLie, but later tweaked the spelling, just to be cute. It has proved a handy username at lots of websites, since generally nobody has ever registered it before.

Isn't that fascinating? OK, your turn.

Eep. Allow me to jump in and give my meagre contribution. The 'Hollin' part was taken from a place in LotR (go figure) in which lots of Holly grew. Since my name's Holly, and I love LotR with a passion, I chose that as my user name...yes, it's a weak connection I know. The 'Elf' part is there because they're my favourite race in the triology. Actually, hobbits are probably first, but would people ever take me seriously if I was called: 'HollinHobbit'? Or worse - HollyHobbit 0_0


Me? Obsessed? Why yes, yes I am

Hmm, yes...I adore the hobbits, but must agree that Hollinelf sounds much cooler than HollinHobbit. Hehe. Anyway, elves are pretty.
