I don't intend to hurt anyone or ask anyone to change their username, but just a legitimate question.

Why would anyone choose to have "Hare Krishna" in their identity.

The answers can continue on the linked thread if you wish to comment.

Mine is pretty simple, name and DOB. Wanted to change it to something less conspicuous like...inconspicuous lol.

Kept the name simple here and on other forums so that I don't have keep remembering new screen names...

I wanted to be slightly different plus having usernames like Abdullah or Muhammed makes it very difficult to search for your previous posts if you want to..as many people tend to have that name, hence pluto and now Desi tadka - not very hard to remember usernames as my internet browser does that for me including remembering the passwords, plus one more benefit of having different usernames on different sites is that its hard for my friends and well-wishers to stalk me (online) - that happens too you know.

Its also kind of nice to have interesting usernames, gives you a thrill, so I have a 'Mr. President' on Shaikh Muadh's & Aapa Ummi talib's almost defunct forum. On another forum I have 'Smashing' as my username - so like a typical South Asian, I have talked more about myself than necessary.

Another benefit is people can't profile you easily...

Is this thread intended to profile? Starting a thread on usernames..the discussions around it, one thing leads to another and before you know it, Muadh bhai has created a database.

HOLY MOLY!!!

Well, some people have actually asked me about it in person - wondering if it had a bad meaning... so, just in case there are some out there that have doubts, meh... a bit of education on it doesn't hurt insha'Allah (not my real name anyway).

Alhamdulillah, I learned a lot about acacia trees in the process of looking up a username :)

(salaam)


My SF username was my real nickname. Although its spelling was "Zahed" but it should be pronounced as "Jaheed" (south Asians often make mistakes in transliteration). But on MS I tried creating a different and enigmatic profile (with swords, shield as avatar which wasn't allowed in SF). My favourite turban is the black one, so.......

Why I choose the name AishaZaynap:
They actually are the names of two Mothers of Believers Aisha bint Abubakr and Zainab bint Jahsh (RA). Their story intrested me very much. I learned many things from their lives. Also I love these names.
