Fenimore's username, blessingone, comes from the fact that someone had already claimed her previous username, xelhes, one year before I started looking into Dreamwidth usernames.
Her people give everyone what is known as a "true name" to represent the bearer's true nature. Fenimore's true name is xelhes, or "blessing," and, because of this, she occasionally tries to give her blessing to people, like "may the sea guide you" or "you must find your happiness." It's unknown if these blessings actually do anything or if it's just something Fenimore misguidedly believes due to her true name and they do no more than anyone else's well-wishes, though I tend towards the latter interpretation.
So pretty much every alternate username for Fenimore involves blessing in some form because it is easy and I am not especially creative. blessingone was used previously on Livejournal for the You Are What You Love event in which she took on the appearance of her best friend, Shirley, who had the username prayingone based on her true name, fennes or "one who prays." When I was searching for usernames for Dreamwidth, I harkened back to it and it eventually rose to the top of my list.
(Her original username was idkmybffmerines, based on the by-then two year old meme, as most of her involvement in the plot revolves around her friendship with the Merines, Shirley. Not recalling others using it for usernames, I thought it would be original and funny. Then, upon seeing it used elsewhere, I realized that it was pretty obvious. Oh well. Eventually I changed it when Griff pointed out xelhes was open and I decided that would be cool.)
