User:SnowyCinema/Etymologies of usernames


 * Feel free to edit this page as if it were a normal Wiktionary page. Ignore the user page rule.

If I forgot to add a username, it doesn't mean I don't like you or something, but I just forgot about it (since there are a lot). Feel free to add yourself or other users to this page.

If your username has a ?, it means that I don't know your username's etymology yet. If you feel comfortable, please add that information for me. Thanks!
