(Artists) How did you pick your username?

I still can‘t decide on an username for my art account without thinking it‘ll be cringey or too boring 🥲

mine is my xbox user bc i liked it that much
IDK like I spent ages here, it was either IzzyWizzyFizzy, ZestedHalos or SugarddBunnies, but Zested was the one for me bc strawb lemonade colour scheme is one of my faves
I started posting on tiktok. I just chose fizzy because it sounded cool, I decided to add another y because it kept it simple and the other ones were taken lol
I luckily saw a post that advised people not to take anything fandom-related or else I would be stuck with something Voltron-related now-- so I thought about non-fandom things I like, and since my favourite colour is purple and my favourite animals are wolves (latin: lupus) I ended up with lilac lupin :) lilac is also a flower and lupin ALSO doubles as a flower but I didn't even know that for a long time
I just kinda came up with my names(both current and former) on the spot cause it’s usually just a thought I had
For me I looked up my name meaning and it was derived from the flower “alyssum” and then I wanted the second part to start with an H (so it would match my initials, AH) so I eventually settled on “Here” but before I was looking up nouns that start with h and adjectives that start with a in hopes of finding something cool that matched my initials.
So i mean just mix two things you love like your fav animal + song(jellyfishnight), name+ color(BluetheRyan), plant + flower(BenjaminDahlia), your pet's name (if yo u have) + some symbol (CottonHeart), ur hobby + color palette(neon,pastel) (PastelGuitar), You're name + Something you love (Brianofthenature)... etc these are some examples for names i hope I helped
Well absolutely my name is not Aras but really its not Aras (thats weird) ohm anyways i just love the name Aras and my name is not Aras so i was like i should make my name not aras so everyone would've know my name is not Aras (it didn't work but i still love the name Aras) Also i might look like I'm not an artist its because i started today (yeah i talked nonsense a little)
