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

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
