My user name actually came from my real name (first name only, last name is not included) that is:
Muhammad Nur HidayatI used this user name in most of game forums, language-learning sites (like
lang-8), and used as a
user name for Wikipedia too..
For
Facebook user name, I added ".aka.Nurul" at the end of my user name, so it becomes MuhdNurHidayat.aka.Nurul which that "aka" stands for "also known as" and "Nurul" is name that some of my friends called me (IDK why they called me Nurul).
(By the way, do you know that Facebook account actually
can have user name?? I think you have to
verify your account first before you can use a user name in Facebook, I verified my account using mobile phone..
)
Alternative user name is Yacchan, used mainly in anime forums and anime websites (except
MyAnimeList). Yacchan came from Yorokobi Hida
yatsu +
chan.
(FYI, the big tsu (つ) when combined with other, e.g. chan (ちゃん), will become cchan (っちゃん)- small tsu (っ) with big chan (ちゃん))
Yorokobi Hidayatsu (Japanese:喜び 飛騨萢/English: Hidayatsu Yorokobi) is my Japanese name, whereas Xi Da Ya (喜达亚) is my Chinese name.
Before this, some (Japanese) would call me Hidayachi (because they usually read 萢 as yachi instead of yatsu) but now they call me Hidayatsu (LOL).
Ah... I really need furigana(s)!!!!
