Rule: Post the explanation of where your user name came from. Then tag TEN users whose explanations you would like to hear. If you are tagged, If you want to do this, post your explanation to your page.

Well, my username doesn't really have any glorious meaning behind it, but here's how the story goes:

Me, my brother and pi_ankh were playing Scrabble once [you know, the game where one gets letters and has to form words from it]. Well, then at one point of the game my brother only had letters F, Ö, N, U, L, Y and N in his hand. There's no way in hell to get any kind of Finnish word out of those, and he got frustrated and mad.

So, he formed a word fönulyn, and said that it's definitely a real word. When we argued he just said that once he'll be a dictator and have his own country, and he's going to call the capital of the country Fönulyn. The country had a name too but I don't remember it anymore.

Then when I needed an username to lj I thought of that, and decided that it would make a good username :D Of course they don't take 'ö' here so I needed to simplify it to 'o', and so fonulyn came out.

I kinda like the username, it's simple and easy enough to remember. And it's 100% original and no one else has the same name anywhere at least as far as I know XD So, a big thanks for my beloved little brother for that too :D

Your brother is so bloody awesome... But you don't need me to tell you that xD

It was so much fun when he got frustrated with the cards and the whole game. I bet he will never play Scrabble with us again... x)

I sometimes get confused if your LJ nick was fonulyn or fonylun. :D But it's good enough if you remember your own nickname.

But hon, fonulyn just flows so much more naturally :D

Ah~ XD I always wondered if there's meaning behind your name since I haven't found a translation. (Your brother is great. Let me know when he gets his own country. I'm going to move there immediately :DD)

So.. there's no special meaning behind my name. XD I just needed a name and I took the French word for (filing) basket >_> Yeah, that sucks. But it's French, so it doesn't sound that stupid XD
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on March 3rd, 2007 10:48 am (UTC)
Heh, you could've asked :D But nope, there isn't any hidden meaning behind the word, but that I like it x) [I will let you know! :D]

Nah, it doesn't suck :D Sometimes the meaning of the name just isn't important as long as it sounds nice ;)

Yeah, I could have asked... .__.

[What's going to be the official language in your brother's country? Finnish? Aaa~h! I'm going to get lost and starve because no one will understand my poor Finnish XD]
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on March 3rd, 2007 11:40 am (UTC)
Well, he likes Finnish so much that I think it's going to be the official language XD But I bet you would do fine with your Finnish! Believe me, you'd survive^^
[identity profile] corbeille.livejournal.com on March 3rd, 2007 11:42 am (UTC)
Haha xD And if I'm hungry and no one understands me or I'm lost, I'd just call you... my heroine! *worships you* :DD
[identity profile] fonulyn.livejournal.com on March 3rd, 2007 11:46 am (UTC)
Haha, that's fine with me! I will of course save you from troubles whenever needed :D *hugs*
