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. Mines pretty boring, it's my name backwards lol and a number I like :lol:
       
    2. It’s a Japanese 4-character idiom meaning “to live as freely as one likes” (自由奔放). I‘ve used it as an online handle for years and was too lazy to think of a BJD-specific one when I registered for DoA.

    3. Mine has no special meaning I just like prezels XD
       
    4. Oh mine is super easy to guess... my favorite colors are reds and greens so I named my DOA name redandgreenlover:mwahaha
       
    5. When I was 16 thought I was so smart...and also a huge weeb so I slapped together some japanese (or probably not) words and made it even more cringeworthy by writing it with a capital Q.

      Sabaku might or might not mean desert and I really like hot weather.
      Saba might or might not mean mackerel which is probably more deep because first off, I realy hyped Free! Iwatori Swimclub back then. Second, I grew up very close to water, lakes just as much as the ocean. I'm basically amphibious. Third, I like fish.
      And the Q just looks cool and prevents the name from being taken (most of the time). It makes a coo-sound in German so it basically spells Sabaku yet again. It's stupid and cringy and not funny at all but I started using it everywhere and now I have to live with it as my alias. Thats life!
       
    6. There's no meaning at all to me, other than the dictionary definition. It's just a word I found fun at the time. :lol:

    7. Mine is pretty self explanatory.
       
    8. The names of two beloved pets - Griffin and Lilly who have both passed away and are now lovely angels. :)

    9. It's a moniker from a bunch of things. It wasn't for any poetic reasons, I just like how it sounded.
       
    10. when i was tiny and still in highschool, i thought it was cool to use an online translation of common words and see what pops up. cant really remember which word or language setting i used or if its even a correct translation of a word. fast forward a couple years (which is still a decade plus ago) and i found out somehow that its someone's porn name, so i dropped it like a hot potato (except here, i cant change my name here).
       
    11. Misfits' song shorthand for Mephistopheles, a devil from the novel Faust by Goethe. One of my favorite books, and the original Misfits aren't bad either. :wiggle

      It's kind of boring, but it's a name I look for after my usual, Multifaceted or Multifacet, is taken.
       
    12. Haha mine is so bad. It’s the same username I chose back when I was a young teenager and we got internet for the first time with AOL. You had to pick a screen name, and being the very not creative person I am, and too impatient to sit and think of a good name for myself, that I had no idea then would stick with me for 20+ years, I thought of one of my biggest obsessions at the time, and attempted to stick “girl” onto it, but that was already taken, so to “girly” I defaulted.

      Anyone else watch WWF wresting during the attitude era in the late 90’s? Yeaaaaahhh... didn’t think so. :lol::?:sweat

      And I just haven’t bothered thinking of something else since then. Lmao
       
    13. Just a name I like, I only added the "h" because in other forums the name "ariadne" was already taken.
       
    14. Well mine isnt too fun haha. Its just my name, marvin (which was actually chosen based on an old save file found in a used video game) and my favourite colour (Red also happens to be the name of my pup)
       
    15. I tried to put my username as Hinata (from Naruto) on YouTube when it first came out but it told me try another name, so I mixed the letters and added my nickname Lele to Hinata. I didn’t like the ‘e’ being in there so I just made it Lihnata instead lol it’s been 12 years and it’s stuck ever since. It’s my name for almost everything that I use!
       
    16. Mx is gender neutral social title because I’m non-binary, and Bluebird aka Harper Row is my favorite DC hero.
       
    17. I got my name from and OC I created about a year or so ago. she is the child of one of my fav ships from MHA/BNHA. I use this user for most websites or I use my Nickname.
       
    18. I am very very bad at names.
       
    19. Old AIM name <——-so cool
       
    20. My username is from the movie "The Geisha". The main person called Sayuri. And 8 is my favorite number.
