username origin

Postby apricott » Mon May 29, 2023 9:35 pm

aaaa hi, i really liked coffee.berry's idea about username explanations so here we go !!

apricott kinda has a really short and really long story fsdgj

initially my username idea was apricum nitidum, which means bright sunlight in latin!
i've always liked how latin looks and sounds and i like associating myself and my art with sun symbolism, so it made sense to have that as my name!! until i realised that it's too complicated lol

so trying to make it simpler, i thought, hm. what sounds kinda like it, but is way snappier and easier to understand?
and so apri kinda sounds like apricot and niti has the t for apricot, but most places had apricot taken so i added another t and apricott just kinda happened!! now it's a beloved username, even if i don't really like eating the fruit because i don't like that it's fluffy, just like peaches 😔
