It’s not a stupid question to ask that happens to most people, and it is hard to find your username sometimes. Your Pinterest username is built into your profile URL. You can open your personal profile and check the URL to get your username if you have any doubts. You will also find it in the page title; it depends on which browser are you using.
Your username is needed because people will use it to add you to a group board.
