- In e-mail, instant messenger, forum and game server databases, nicknames are usually required to to be unique. If you wish to pick a name that was already registered, other than simply altering the name itself, it is often preferred to pad it with Xs - so if you wanted to be TimiN, for example, and somebody else had already registered that name, you'd just register xTimiNx - to still be TimiN, and not TimiN15 or some other, unwanted variation.
- In this particular case, though, "hugs and kisses" is a quite possible connection - especially considering that she has no reason to "uniquify" her video title.
