How Did You Get Your Fandom Name?

[cuddyclothes]

For those of whom who are comfortable doing so, what's the origin of your DW/Twitter/LJ/Tumblr name?

Mine comes from when I first started watching "House". Lisa Edelstein played his boss, Lisa Cuddy. She has a great body and wore the absolute best clothes. I wanted the body, yes, but I really wanted the wardrobe! It's my fandom name across all of the platforms.

Oh my, are you a mind reader? I’ve wanted to ask the same question for days.
I initially thought your name was CUDDLY clothes...:)

Well, my name is of course the last words of the poem Bosie Douglas wrote for Wilde and which was used as proof for their homosexuality in the 1895 trial against him.
“I am the love that dare not speak its name.”

I rather like the double meaning (because of course I am also reluctant to use my real name).

I have been wondering about yours!

I made mine up like a week ago just for this comm. I'm usually a pure lurker so I never needed one before. I enjoy unusual words and came across "quaff" and "doff" while rereading Wodehouse. I also kinda wanted to add "toff" but thought that would be too much. So I left it as something that could translate to "drink and take off your clothes."

LOL! Very appropriate nickname!

Excellent question!

I've been "thesadchicken" online for quite a few years (7 or 8, if I'm not mistaken). My fandom name has 2 different origins:

1) My nickname in middle school was "the chicken". A teacher started it, funnily enough, and it stuck through high school!
2) There's a video of Michael Jackson saying "that's a sad chicken". I won't bore you with context lol but I'm a huge MJ fan, so I thought I'd use the "quote" as my online pseudonym

You can find me as "thesadchicken" on DW, Tumblr, Archive Of Our Own, fanfiction.net,... and I'm sure a few other places that I'm forgetting heh

I love all your fandom-name stories!
