What's the Meaning behind your Username?

[Starlight Serenade 3,311]

My name is based on my OC, Starlight Serenade. I had many ideas of her being an Alicorn traveling through the cosmos helping all creatures alike with her powers and abilities when they gaze upon Starlight, they can find solace and understanding.

"In the quiet of night, when the world hushes its clamor, we find solace in the starlight. Each shimmering speck in the night sky above holds a promise—a whispered secret of eternity. And as we stand here, bathed in their gentle glow, we realize that love, too, is like those distant stars: timeless, infinite, and forever guiding us toward something beautiful."

Perhaps may be worth putting a space between the two names.

Is just barely too long to be kept in one line.

I thought it already was before, weird.

My OC is pink, that's mostly it, but I'm also that one SPECIFIC pink pony

[Rafa Stary 3,100]

I forgot to say that "Stary" is also a title, so other than me, there can be other Stary people in the world (there aren't, I'm the eternal unique Real Stary )

[DubWolf 17,263]

It’s WWolf, but now the W is replaced with “dub”, as in “dubya”.

[Bizarre Wizard 5,013]

Crypty cuz I wanted something mysterious. And Scribbles was added not so long time ago mostly because I'm drawing and the combination sounds funny. ^•^

The interwebs says the meaning is quote: "atmospheric water vapour frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes or lying on the ground as a white layer." end quote.

[Ionic Sunset 8]

Ionic Sunset was... I don't know, an hour or two of me trying to come up with something pony-ish that was better than what I had?

Of course I could have just taken the name of my favorite OC, but that wouldn't have been personal. Not like Chiroptera was. Eventually I came up with this: I have a tendency to write characters that have a few seemingly opposing traits- or physical characteristics- that tie together tightly. Like an ionic bond between two oppositely charged ions. It's also my favorite kind of ship, and rivalry, and... I just love when any two opposites interact well with each-other, really. Ionic!

Sunset is simpler. It's my favorite time of day. Both because I prefer the night, but also because sunsets are beautiful. Absolutely not an uncommon opinion, but still. Ponies have just straight colors in their names sometimes, and I was having trouble mixing something with Ionic- the part I was dead-set on.

So, in all, now my name's Ionic Sunset! I love it for a pony name, and it might actually stick if I ever end up making a ponysona instead of just actual characters.

[SharpWit 2,668]

@Ionic Sunset I get what you mean. I struggled whether SharpWit was me or someone else at first. Every "failed" attempt at "myself" I viewed as being a fictitious family member, and in a way that's what many OCs are, because they all carry some part of us with them. 

[Snoopy Fan 354]

I’m a huge fan of Snoopy

[Ionic Sunset 8]

@SharpWit

Not quite what I meant, never had trouble with a sona of any kind and deciding whether they were me or a character- mainly because I've never tried to make a sona. I made a character of myself once! But, well, not pony related. Not even really related to any Fandom, just kind of a whole original thing I abandoned forever ago since it wasn't very good.

But this is a very good warning for me if I ever do decide to try making a ponysona, definitely sounds like the kind of thing I'd get caught up on! Might steal the idea of failed ponysonas being the successful ponysona's 'family' if it ever comes up- unless you'd rather that be unique to you.

I love this sentiment too, absolutely. Also sorry for being so long-winded, I'm... I don't really have an excuse or explanation, it's just kind of how I am. Wish I could make this shorter since I already did the whole name explanation thing.
