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. Mine is the name of my favorite print from the gothic lolita brand Moi-même-Moitié. The print looks like what it says on the tin - cathedral ruins.

    2. Epona is a goddess of horses and the name of your horse in the Legend of Zelda, and I always thought it was pretty, so when I found it was open here as just “Epona” I was pretty happy!

    3. My username comes from an oc in a story I'm writing, haha.
       
    4. Red, a colour I love for its regal jewel like richness . Astor for a beautiful old Arthouse cinema in Melbourne where I enjoyed many a splendid film.

    5. My username is the same I use on Instagram and other social media :)
      "A_Nonyme" was my video game pseudonym as well, when I first chose it, it was because I didn't wanted other players to know anything about me (and that I was a girl as well) :XD:
       
    6. Reading some of the responses, I wish that I had been a bit more creative in choosing my username but it is simply my name plus my nickname.
       
    7. Before I got married, my initials were LC. The Grimm fairy tales include the tale of "Clever Elsie." It's a pun.
       
    8. my IT class had very outdated equipment so the only game we could play was the original counter-strike and since everyone in that game is russian i wanted to fit in so i just google translated the word ''war'' in russian wich is ''voina'' and that was my first ever username, as for doina, doina come from romanian and it is a type of folk song with a grief felling, the best i could describe it is sad peasant songs

    9. I've always been into that abstract, single word kind of aesthetic, but lately, I feel like it's so hard to choose something I think will be unique, so it's just a weird way of writing my initals.
       
    10. My username is one I've been using for a fair bit. It's actually a weirdly vague reference to a fanfic I loved. Everyone just assumes I'm obsessed with frogs. I like them, sure, but not really that much.
       
    11. I was 14 and obsessed with Rozen Maiden. Now that I’m 28 and barely interested in anime, period, I wish I could change it!
       
    12. Mine stems waaaaay back to when I was going into middle school and Dad helped me create my own email account instead of using one my sister and I shared (We're talking AOL days here). He suggested I use something like "Techno Kitty" as I love computers and cats, (though I didn't know how to spell well so I spelled it tecnokitty) and to this day I keep using some variation of it for most things. Techy is just the shortened version of it.
       
    13. Back when I was a weeb and a teenager, I was super obsessed with visual kei to the point all of my usernames were references to something in VK. This particular username is referencing Baiser's album "Hana", one of my all time favorite Japanese rock albums after all of these years, and my favorite song off of the album.
       
    14. It's very simple haha. It's my name and the name of my first ever bought doll.
       
    15. Jaxx Capta is an online pseudonym I've been using since... middle school, maybe? Early high school. A long time. It started based off of a character (Captain Jaxxris) from a story I was writing. Which involved aliens. Which I had made in Spore originally. So yeah, been a long while!

      (I think I've gotten asked if it was Doctor Who related before? Or Torchwood? Either way, haven't seen more than a couple one-off episodes, so alas, it's not.)
       
    16. I was watching the hobbit movie again (ive watched it soo many times) and i love the Elven King.

    17. I've always been using Silmaril (translated 'radiance of pure light') as my online pseudonym. I borrowed it from The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien who kinda inspired my pursuit of a career in a certain field.

      Sometimes when the name is taken, I'd add a prefix or suffix and that's what I did when registering on DoA. 'Misto' was taken from Mr. Mistoffelees, my favorite cat in Cats the musical.

    18. I am not completely in love with my username but at the time a friend of mine thought it would be fun to find a Japanese version of our real names. My real name is Amy (Aimi) and my last is Talebi (Taiki). Aimi also means, 'Beautiful Love' and Taiki means, 'Large, Great, Radiance, Shine.' It's more of a play on words and the meaning behind it.
       
    19. My username is the most original username ever. It's my actual name. I aparently wasn't as clever as I would have liked to have been when making it, but alas, it's a name.
       
    20. 'Wraak' literally means revenge. There's no reason I chose it for DOA beyond that I like it.

      I do have a doll named Wraak though. I should prolly post her. She was actually a grail I got right after i made my account here.
      So I guess indirect relation :D
