mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[Iudex 1,945]

Well, my current name came from a series of nicknames I've been given, including Ghost, Null, Zero and Cipher. They were all assigned to me because people come to the conclusion that I'm soulless, heartless, just because they can't get any emotion or reaction out of me. Ghost was more or less chosen because I have a habit of 'coming out of nowhere' and 'blending in'.

Over the past 3 years, I've come to terms with these facts, and made my name Ekho, an adaptation of Echo.
Because that's what I am. An echo, the remnants of something greater.

[Neutrona 11]

Well, back in 2006-2007, before my days of online gaming or interaction, I had attended classes at a Job Corps Academy. After the class/work day, you were free to watch TV, play games, and in general, socialize with other people. Right about this time I picked up the skill of playing Guitar Hero (quite naturally I might add) and was pretty good. I could play a couple of songs on expert, most of them on hard, but where I had the most fun was playing on medium. Well, my friends kind of envied my skill, and because I tend to be a perfectionist (hint to why I play on medium), one of them started calling me Zero, but he wanted to add the "i" to make it stand out and seem a little more, umm, asian (he was an anime fan). So it was soon spelled Ziero but pronounced Zero, adding the "i" for my first name, Indiana. While I was in Job Corps, it stayed that way for the GH leaderboards, with his nickname Sylver (pronounced Silver) in close second under my scores.

 

Later, when I started going online and making user accounts for things (YouTube, MySpace, etc), the name Ziero was usually always taken. So I added the 1986 (the year I was born). At times I just used Ziero86, and just once or twice I used Ziero1. So chances are, if you have encountered a Ziero1986 somewhere else, it is probably (most likely) me.

[PinkieShyFlutterPie 408]

I picked my username because Pinkie Pie and FlutterShy are my favorite ponies c: also i either wanted it to be "PinkieShy" or "FlutterPie" but both were taken sooo ta-da "PinkieShyFlutterPie" not i vary interesting story but yea.

[Rave Crocker 49]

well there's no particular story on mine unfortunately, It's my full name and I wasn't really creative back when I started using the internet and it kinda stuck.

[ActFast231 432]

My username is a username I use for everything. It is short, easy to read and remember, and it puts me at the head of the list of profiles on Xbox Live

[SparklingTwilight 109]

Because I sparkle in the twilight

I was picking a username for my brother, who was new to the forums and loved Twilight Sparkle, when I thought of this one. But I wanted it, so I changed my old one to this.

[Nature's Spell 526]

Because nature can be like a magical spell and cast a spell on those that love it or even those that don't. Nature is also magic.

[Matt loves Luna 16]

I chose my real actual name, because I don't see the point of anonymity.

 

My name I made this account with was Marquis de Stahl. The marquis part is influenced by my love of the game "Sid Meires's Pirates", and the stahl part is because it's German for Steel (which I used as a username many times in the past on many other forums).

[DJRainbowDash 724]

I chose my name because my favorite pony in the show is Rainbow Dash. On top of that, I'm also a huge music junkie, and am training to become a DJ on my college's radio station soon. My DJ name is as expected, DJ Rainbow Dash

[Thunderlight 41]

My username is recently choosed. It is because I like thunder and lightning (light) so that's all. Even though: the name does not mean anything.

[NightOwl 912]

I chose mine because I'm a night person and I like animals such as owls and cats. I love the peacefulness of the night and I hate getting up really early haha .

[stainesbrony 219]

stainesbrony. I live in Staines (Or Staines-Upon-Thames) and I'm a brony. Put those two things together, and you get stainesbrony. Simple.

[TomokoKuroki 1,707]

I chose this username because I originally came to the forums as "Hayze", after some time I became known as a Celestia fan, and thus changed my name to Hayzelestia to try to symbolize that. 

[. eris . 1,661]

You all have such elaborate reasons for picking your name...

 

Me? I was drinking tea, and I like the color grey.  

 

I really should get myself some imagination.

[Lewis the Brony 110]

I just chose my username because I was too impatient to sit down and think about my username so I decided to go with Lewis the Brony.

 

Besides, Lewis is a cooler name than Kyle.

[thanksforthetea 4]

I picked my username because I enjoy tea.

 

Seriously though I thought the username flowed nice. I'm a sucker for alliteration and things that want to stick in your head.

[Sweet Dreams 1,893]

Well...

I was sitting down thinking of a name and this flowed pretty nicely so... yeah. I love Luna too.

I'm not too creative when it comes to usernames though, and I don't use the same username for everything.

[~Silver Essence~ 2,625]

My name came from 3 different perspecitves.

 

The DX part comes from the first DLC I ever purchased in 2009 for sonic adventure DX, also cause DX has a cool sound to it.

 

Silver comes from basically my favorite colors, mines are black, silver, white, and purple, but silver sounded like the best name to fit.

 

And the X at the end comes signifies a perfect ten by the roman numbers. Also, to give it that cool edge to it.

 

-DXSilverX

[Righteous Fury 344]

No clue actually. Just one day thought "hey that'd be a good username". Had it on Steam for a while, then I came here and figured it would make a badass pony name. *shrug*

[Cupcake Ice Cream 436]

well my story isn't so interesting

 

anyway where I used to live there was an amazing ice cream store...it had a home made flavor called Cupcake Ice Cream

 

It is vanilla ice cream with cupcake batter and chunks of baked cupcake in it...then it's topped with sprinkles...oh yeah

 

well anyway I love to please people and love to make stuff for people so my OC took on the flavor of an ice cream maker...and bam

 

CIC was born

[ZomBrony 347]

My username comes from ROBLOX and from ponies. Back in the day, I used to make my usernames relevant to the site's names. So when I started playing ROBLOX like, four years ago and since I've always been interested in "zombie" kinds of games, I made my username ZomBloxxor. I liked that name ever since I came up with it and when I joined the herd, I wanted to keep some of my past name, hence Zom. And since joining the herd, I'm obviously a Brony, hence Brony: ZomBrony.

[~The Doctor~ 20]

Captain Leland "Apollo" Adama is one of my favorite characters on Battlestar Galactica. That is the main reason I chose this name

[Calekai 32]

I chose my name because it's my universal online alias. My initial choosing of it was when i was nine and pretty consisted of "hmmm what sounds cool.... " I then continued to make random sounds until I said "salekai" I then decided to change the s to a soft c because c's are way better than s's..... Thanks nine year-old self.

[Gears of Halo Duty V 394]

 

Because it's three amazing things wrapped up into one.

 

Ahh playing Halo 3, Gears of War and CoD 4 with good friends. Those were the good days.
