*moves*
It's been a while since we had this discussion, so this shall live and thrive!
My original username was nate_dog_woof, which came from a bad joke amongst my circle of friends at the time that led to me being called "Nate Dog" for all of two weeks. When I signed up, I really couldn't think of anything better to use.
A few years back I got sick enough of it to ask for a change*. I considered Thorn, which is my most commonly used nickname but went with Nate instead simply because that was what everyone was already calling me here and because it was similar enough to nate_dog_woof as to avoid confusion. I'm still not entirely happy with it, mainly because it leads people to think that I want to be called 'Nate' in real life. Which I don't.
*I was an admin back then, so I could have made the change on my own, but username changes are regarded as such a big thing that I thought it best to get confirmation from the mod body anyway.
