I've seen all sorts of different user names here. So I was just why you picked what you did to be your username.
For me, I was originally wanting to go with "Lucifer." But Lucifer is believed, incorrectly, by Christians to be the devil. But Lucifer originally only meant "the bringer of light." The term itself was derived from the Latin, Lux Ferre which had the same meaning. Of course, to the Romans, Lucifer was the morning star, who heralded the sunrise each morning. This morning star is what we today know as the planet Venus, which is brightly visible in the early morning hours not long before the sunrise.
But I felt too many people were going to associate my username "Lucifer" with the judeo-christian devil, and I didn't want that. So instead I decided I wanted a native American word which had the same meaning. After browsing through a few languages, I came across "Tavaci."
Tavaci is the the Paiute word for the Sun.

Rogue... I used that on TH as well. I like it... I guess you all know what it means, since your first language is english, but I actually chose it because of X-Men... There is a girl named 'Rogue'... And she is having a really hard time... She can't touch anyone... She lives alone... But somehow, she finds peace at last... I guess I hope to be that lucky, even though I am much different than all of my class mates, and persons from my society...

My username is pretty much randomized. It doesn't have special meaning. I just needed something that's not already taken. xD
(oh, I'm so boring. -.-)

@ Poisoned Candy: Haha.. I didn't know that you didn't know that "Rogue" was actually a word in the English dictionary Yeah well, there's a lots of room for improvement in my vocabulary. I know all the basic words people use in everyday chats. And that's about it. Because I don't really pay much attention in class on English, and I don't really have a need to know more words. I can always go on rjecnik.net/ and find a word I need. xD Anyways... Yeah. Cool new name, Lucky. Can I still call you Lucky, though? I got used to it. xD

You mean, do I translate every single word on rjecnik.net? If so, no way, dude. xD I'm too lazy for that. And I do speak English very well, I just don't know that many words.
