Play-on-words with Bricks and Architect.

My story is a little long.

In 1999, when first signing up for AOL in the first grade, my mom asked me what I should make my user name. Being like, 8, I didn't have an answer.

She said "how about something simple, like your initials? Swh?"

Obviously that was taken, so she said "well, make the last part loner, swholly" (at the time we called my father's parents grandma and grandpa holly cause Hollingsworth is too loving long to say for kids).

Well, believe it or not swholly was taken, so we settled on just spelling it out, since holly and holli are pronounced the same. So my name became SWHolli (pronounced ess doubleyou holli).

And then through years of continuing to use it for things and people shortening it to one word, it is now Swholli (as a word, swuh-holli). And that's how I got my name.

when i was 7 i signed up for shockwave and i thought trogdor was so cool. it wasnt until i signed up for roblox in 2008 that the name was mispelled. ive taken the shame for eternity and used it ever since

And then through years of continuing to use it for things and people shortening it to one word, it is now Swholli (as a word, swuh-holli). And that's how I got my name.
i always pronounced it swuh-ho-lē

when i was given blockland my cousin told me to keep the name thekid

i bypassed it by making it sonokido ;)

I came up with the name to replace Blockhead while playing the demo before I bought the game back in early 2009. Just something easy I'd remember. My name Steve + my bike lock combination 5451.
I'd like to keep this bike lock forever since the combo is the number dearest to me.

well, i've got troubled thoughts and a self esteem to match
what a catch, what a catch

was a homestuck fan when i made this account, not anymore, would like to have it changed

it's from the game starcraft brood war

oh it's also back in starcraft 2: the legacy of the void :)

Username is Finn backwards but slightly edited because I really like Adventure Time at the time

My middle name is the name of my great uncle iirc and my first name is just a biblical name

i was signing up for club penguin like 6 years ago and i needed a new username, and i wasn't feeling too creative so i just hit the center of my keyboard a bunch and the name stuck. i haven't changed it because i believe changing your name once it's established is stupid
my scenery alt name came from when a friend and i were trying to create a better name for hosting servers because "gytyyhgfffff" doesn't sound appealing at all and eventually we came up with scenery and i liked it so i used it
my alias online is "Gary Kactara" which i made a long time ago. idk where gary comes from but kactara comes from me making up a weird sounding name. a friend was joking around and called me gary cactus due to kactara sounding a bit like cactus and i liked it better than kactara so i started going by gary cactus. now gary cactus is imortalized in the domain name www.garycact.us
