Names on Deviantart

So I made a Deviant Art account a few days ago. I thought, you know, I'll be like the cool kids with my DA and my 10k pageviews and stuff, but after about 15 minutes on that site I feel so dirty.

The people have screen names like ditduts, prahSmulP, elizabeth-rose05, misu1975, svengello, Mimidagr81, Glyc3r1ne, bonewald, bahebak2, eesulbee and Ravenhaven.

I mean, out of that list, I like, maybe, eesulbee (I like a work that starts and ends in a double letter, bonus points if it's the SAME letter) and svengello, cus hey, svengello. Say it. There we go. Isn't that a great word? I might marry a Gello and call my first son Sven just so I can say that every day. Oh, and grats to Bonewald on awesome namey-ness.

On the other hand, what pixiedust were Mimidagr81 and ditduts sniffing when they opened their account? And in what kind of community is bahebak such a popular name that there needs to be two? Glyc3r1ne sounds like the chemical name of a pesticide. And Ravenhaven sounds like a screen name pushed out of the wrong end of a goth.

On the other hand, espii, a name I made up when I was 12 or 13ish (I wanted my "email name" to start with an E, be short, catchy and memorable, unlike Glyc3r1ne, and was also probably influenced by the pokemon Espeon at the time) has joined a fitting line-up on DA. I've realised that the name looks and sounds like a 13 year old chose it. But I love it. I'll probably be espii until I'm waaay too old to laugh at myself, and I start waving at kids to get off my lawn.
