Your Deviant Username

how did you get it? what does it mean? or what does it mean to you?

harlequinromantics... well, the name is a little sappier than something i would normally use.
2 years ago i was trying to have both a casual line of jewelry [harlequin romantic]
and a more luxe line [epoq]. epoq never took off (and the name was already in use for watches... little did i know) so it was 86'd.
strangely... harlequin romantic did... and then one of my deviations were given a dd so felt i should stick with the etsy and the da accounts.
what is manhattan on mercury? if i were to ever require a house name for my designs it would be manhattan on mercury.
harlequin romantic will (unfortunately ;p) always stick with my jewelry (perhaps in the future only the more ultra-fem stuff), but
i don't feel great about being synonymous with such flowery, mushy name :3

have a fab sunday!

xoxo,
julee

your name is krishna!?
that's awesome in and of itself.
the way i look at it is: you can view
it as boring or you can view it as clean
and dynamic ;)

Thank you :) I just meant that there was not a unique or interesting story behind my ID ,because it was only my name and the year i was born in . I have always liked that my mom gave me such a unusual name .at lest unusual name for a girl of non-Indian decent growing up in Virginia .
I love your jewelery creations by the way

I wanted something simple that related to me. My old username was aweful, something I created in high school (ThePariah-Kitty) lol It just didn't fit, and had all that "baggage" from back then.
The one I use now is made up of the first syllable of my first, middle and last name. KAtie MArie CROOnenberghs.

mine has a few different parts:
there was a series of books i read a few years back, that took place in a country called Amara. i would go to the author's website and log onto the chatroom under the name 'Maiden_of_Amara.'
my friends on the chatroom soon had it shortened to Moa, and it stuck very well.
(the books were the Dragon Keeper Chronicles, i think. the author's name is Donita K. Paul if that rings any bells to anyone)
anyway, at this time, my sisters and i were totally obsessed with Star Wars. (i still like it, but im not completely obsessed, lol) when i made a DA account, it seemed logical to me to use my interwebs nickname, Moa and something that i loved (star wars.) and that i wished i could be (jedi).
so thats how i came up with Moa-isa-JediKnight.
now that im past that completely obsessed stage, my username seems silly and i wish i could change it, but some of my friends say that it reminds them of when we were all younger. (i have several irl friends on DA, they're the ones who say this)
so thats pretty much my username story. still seems very childish to me, and im afraid that people will stereotype me due to my name. but as i improve my art, i want people to be surprised when they come to my profile. like, such a dorky username, but wow! lol.
maybe it's selfish, but thats what i hope to happen. ^^

i can certainly relate to your dilemma ;)
once upon a time i had the username captain_howdie
i'm not sure why i did away with it, but it was
brought about by my obsession with the movie
"strangland" :giggle:
however, harlequinromantics is the name i don't
care for and somehow it has taken on a life of its
own... oh well.
but i say, if you have no reasons for "you" to be
invested in it, try on a new face (or name). your
friends will get it ;)

i can totally understand that, however, im not sure if i really want to move. i like that all my faves and watchers and such are on his account. plus, all my deviations are one here too.

Haha, really great story! Mine is quite simple (actually it's none): It's the facial expression I show pretty often. I often smile for no particular reason, and it's somehow funny what kind of effect it has on other people on the street that look at me.
