Since someone revived this thread, I’ll say why I chose “Iris8989”.

The reasoning’s pretty simple:
5 years ago, I went onto wikiHow underage with the name “Iris8989”. I think I went on there for help on a science fair project (mine was about how to keep bananas fresh for a long time). Then, a few months later, I clicked on some random articles on the homepage, which looked really different in 2019 than it does now.

“Iris” is a name I use a lot on the internet when I’m signing up for websites/applications. It starts with “I”, like my actual name (not revealing that due to privacy issues, plus I’m not a legal adult yet).

The “8989” is because I chose two random numbers (this case, 8 and 9) to repeat. Since they repeat in that pattern, it’s easy to remember, and catchy too! If you say “8989” in Chinese, it kinda sounds like a song!
