1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

What is the meaning behind your DOA username? Pt.2

Aug 26, 2019

    1. I like tea and I'm terrible at picking usernames. That, and the story of of Matsunaga Hisahide's teapot, haha.
       
    2. Found a mud-covered stuffed bunny rabbit in the parking lot of my old job. Also, my handle on Live Journal was "I Was A Teenage Lagamorph."

    3. I was super into Virgina Woolf as a teenager and the username just kinda stuck.

    4. Mine is one of my OCs that I've had for a while, always loved his name and his aesthetic. My profile pic is actually my FFXIV variation of him that I drew digitally. He's a bit of a 'floating' character in that he moves around into different roles for different AUs of my story. His alternate personality is a little different from his canon personality, mostly because canonically he suffers from severe depression and anxiety. I always love all of his incarnations though and I connect with him the most.

    5. Before I got married my initials were LC, and there's this Grimm fairy tale, "Clever Elsie"...so I made a little pun.

    6. Before I got into BJD Hobby son while in High School stared to watch animes. I started to watch as well and have a few favs both in movies and series. I was getting email address and I thought of animemom. Have had it for over 26 years.

    7. I really like black mambas, so I used the first part of the scientific name for them for my email, more or less. The name I actually wanted was taken (the actual scientific name), so I used the scientific name that Albert Gunther (guy who made the first description of a black mamba) used when he described them for a second time, which is just two letters off (dendroaspis vs dendrapsis).

    8. i was around 15-16 when i made this account and was armed with a very crappy japanese to english dictionary. So the intent was to be Graveyard-Kitty, or Bochi-kitty but my shitty dictionary said graveyard was Urushi...which I now know is a type of lacquer used in japanese pottery. Still kind of fitting as I love ceramics and would love to get back into it someday. so yeah my username is Lacquer-kitty ^^;;

    9. It's a mix of my favorite Poe poem and the demon doll from the Conjuring, lol

    10. It's just my first name haha. It is interesting to see other people's reasonings. A lot more original than mine !

    11. My name, but longer lol. I never really liked my name due to bullying as a child, so this longer more silly version feels better to use.

    12. Mine was inspired by the litter of ten puppies my family raised when I was a kid. We fed them all puppy mush. Nothing whatsoever to do with dolls, as you can see. :lol:

    13. I'm a cat person—through and through. Always have been, always will be. As for the whole jade part...I can't recall what drew me to the word exactly. Possibly it connections in Eastern lore, or something involving the stone itself. It showed up in the earliest screen names I used, so it's true purpose most likely has been lost to time.

      As for why jade-eyed-cat—cats with jade green eyes are a unique, and often exquisite, phenomena. Similar can be stated for blue eyes (or blue cats in general, which I tend to play off more these days in current screen names, i.e. lesapphirecat being my most prominent in use elsewhere). As time has passed, and after my former bottle-feed Pacifica stumbled into my life, she kind of put the jade-eyed and blue/sapphire into my screen names after her arrival (she's a diluted tortie, with a prominent gray coat often associated with blue in certain cat breeds, i.e. Russian Blues). Pacifica has helped me through a lot, and is my ever-loyal little cling-on, full of love, need for pets, and a mile-long stare when hungry.

      Pacifica's become my muse and part of my online identity, and I now use these screen names with pride in having her in my life:kitty2

    14. Around the time I made this account I was using two usernames online, this one I would gravitate towards using in places where I knew there was a chance whatever else I wanted to use would be taken because of the amount of users of the site, because it's a made up word. It's the name of a woman elf from a story I was going to write (I only did a few chapters at the time in secondary school years) and a friend was going to illustrate. The story/book never happened, but I still use this username in many places because it's usually never taken.

    15. Mine is my cat's nickname. His name is Lucky, but we started calling him Lully. Then made it even longer into Lully Lullers. I found him as a tiny kitten when I was 8. He lived until 19 years old. He was a great kitty!

    17. Agnes was the name of my favourite childhood doll and Agatha is because I am a fan of Agatha Christie lol

    18. I was very into the band Dir en Grey around the same time I discovered BJDs, so I chose one of their songs off my favorite album at the time and used it as a username for many places. I still like the band, though definitely not as much as I used to, and the song username doesn't really suite me anymore, but I don't mind it. It's like a little nostalgic throwback for me now lol

    19. Old old ooolldddddd internet handle I haven't used since I left dA about. uh. at least a decade ago. honestly, I'd change it if I could, every time I see it my brain does the ancient sins ancient sins chant but since I'm stuck with it, oh well. There are worse parts of my misspent youth to be haunted by I guess.
       
    20. I do a good deal of retrogaming, especially old-school RPGs, and I have a habit of naming my characters "babe" because a) those old games only give you, like, 6 characters for your name, and b) it's funny to have NPC's say "Hi there babe!" etc. But "babe" is a bit short & generic for a username, so I added "-zoid" kind of randomly.
