Mine is taken because I used to read to my youngest daughter a bed time story, Nijntje. It was a story of a small bunny, after I had finished read she would in a sleepy voice say "now I'm a blijkonijn too":D

I just translated blijkonijn hence happybunny.:)

It's a name I've used since I was about 16, first on a messaging service. I thought I could change it later, then realised I couldn't. Never had trouble using it anywhere yet, so I've kept it.
 
I'll let you take a wild stab in the dark!:D


(For you out of towners: In the States, a derogatory slang name for a psychologist/psychiatrist is "headshrinker", shortened to "shrink")

I love your name.

For those who are not old movie fans...in "The Maltese Falcon", the Mary Astor character uses the name "Miss Wonderly" before she reveals her character's real name is Bridgette O'Shaughnessy.

Some people think I like shooting bambie, but I've outgrown that. In actuality "Huntn" is a play on my last name, Peck as in "hunt and peck". It was given to me in a Compuserve forum in the 90's. :)

The voices in my head told me to choose Hastings101 or I would doom the entire world. Didn't have much choice :(

Same. This was a nick I used with a game I played online when I first "got into" online stuff, the ender part comes from ender's game and land from the fact that I was managing a nation.

Kinda lame, tbh :) I've done more as "enderland" since spaces don't work so nice on certain things.

I don't know if you realize this but, you answered on page 1.

Anyways, mine is because I'm a hick (a midwesterner)
 
As I stated upthread, it's the name of a character in a Star Trek RPG I played back in the late eighties. At the dawn of the 'net, I used it as my "handle." I've felt no reason to change it since.
 
First two letters of my first name.
First letter of my middle name.
First letter of my last name.
The number 0, followed by the last two digits of my birth year.
 
It's a reference to a book series called Warriors. The main character in the first series (of four) is Firestar, who lives in Thunderclan, and looks like my avatar.

That's a good movie. I probably should watch it again.
 
My name pronounced in Japanese is "Kento", and the "-chan" suffix is added when addressing someone informally. Technically my family and friends also drop the "-to" so I usually get called "Kenchan", but I thought it'd be cool to just keep it at "Kentochan".
