mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[AskPortalPonies 24]

I chose 'AskPortalPonies' because that's the name of my Tumblr blog so it fits My other username is 'Director_Shade'... I chose that because shade is my last name and I'm the director of some projects

[Unpredictable Ranger 696]

Changed my username again because my love for Rainbow Dash... uh, I mean Soarin.... is the reason, but "That name is already in use, please choose another." came up when I wanted to change my username to Soarin... so I just have to make do with Mare Do Well this username.

[FireBird- 9]

I chose this name because I really, really, really love birds. And I aways liked the concept of a phoenix, the fire bird that raises from it's own ashes. It's an inspiration for when you fail.

 

And the dash after my name makes the name OVER NINE THOUSAND a little more original.

[Rayna 44]

Rayna is a name I've been using for years on the Internet, to the point it's already my nickname among my Internet friends as well as some of my real life friends. I remember I came across this name one day and I just liked it so much. It's actually "Rayna Black" for many years but nowadays for short it's just Rayna heheh. I first used the name "Rayna Black" at some voice acting forum and the name stuck ever since.

[Fluttashy 325]

I chose my username because its my OCs name. I chose twinkle because I'm really obsessed with stars and shy because I'm a huge Fluttershy fan and I'm pretty shy myself unless you get to know me and then I'm pinkie pie!

[madpenguin44 38]

I came up with my username when I was making a new Youtube account and I could't think of anything, but I had penguins in my mind so I thought of a name with the word penguin in it. I cam up with the name Madpenguin, but i felt like adding a number and I also had the number 44 in my head so Madpenguin44 became my official Username for almost every website.

[MLPFan14 73]

I got my username by I am a MLP fan and i love the number 14 and my favorite character is Twilight Sparkle What's yours?BrooHoof /)(\

~MLPFan14

[Sickman 205]

I was having hard time coming up with anything interesting or creative, and so, I just said "Fuck it. I'm just gonna open up my iTunes, press shuffle, and use the name of whatever song pops up first.

Fortunately it happened to be "Sickman" by Alice in Chains.

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

Why did I choose my username?..... well ill tell you why.

 

Its cause I raise both middle fingers to society, and proclaim "SCREW YOU HATERS"....  ITs cause im Resistant to the normal and persistent to the weird and highly objectionable, and nothing this world can throw at this boi will ever change him (And talking in the third person ROCKS)

[Flutter's lover <3 8,205]

Flutter Dash because  Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are my 2 faves of the mane 6, and I think they make a good couple shipping wise....so Flutter Dash it was.   I couldn't think of anything for Octavia and Vinyl Scratch either...other wise I would've picked something using both of their names.

[Unpredictable Ranger 696]

Mine is definitely from a band. Besides, it is a short username and contains a unique character in it, just like the band's logo.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

How did I come up with Gone ϟ Airbourne? 

 

Let me elaborate.

 

So I have been a huge AC/DC fan since middle school hence the lightning bolt in between my username.

 

The *Gone* part comes from this song my favorite song by AC/DC.

 

 

the *Airbourne* part comes from a recent band I found out about in 2007 and have loved them ever since.

So there you have it why I am Gone Airbourne :3 plus I like things that fly so it all works out

[Dark Moon 965]

I picked my username for obvious reasons but for the sake of 100 characters I will say because Pink Floyd is my all time favorite band. They rule. Nuf said.

[Crystallize 279]

I picked mine because it's related to chemistry, which I love. And it also sounds kind of cool. (No pun intended). I did change it from another username which didn't really mean anything.

[Friendship_Cannon 1,676]

Because my old ones were incredibly stupid xD. They really were, don´t check, just trust me...

No, actually I picked this username for

reasons

 

[I love Jelly Otter 477]

Because it's a fact about me! I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv her so unbearably much! 

Regarding my usernames in other places all have different roots.

[Skylar Starsight 3]

Skylar is like, my favourite name ever (also reminds me of a pokemon gym leader) and starsight is because I wanted a surname for my OC so I thought star-something and then my glasses made me think sight. (I actually thought of a fairly bigger name then this, but the website limited my name size XD)

[TamesB 19]

Because it is part of my real life name , I use it for many different games/forums so I dont forget the name of the account lol

[Unique Pinkie Pie 173]

 

 

but seriously its because i love the character zee captein because of how crazy he is and i guess its because i love the comic too

 

[Nightmare Night 151]

ive been spacetoast/spacetoasty/toasty since i was 13...im 21 now and just haven't found a good replacement for my username.i often get made fun of for my current name but i just cant figure out a good name ive always been terrible at naming things. 

[~Mellow Slash~ 24]

Hmmm, personally I just chose it because Mellow is my OC! Well I could have been more creative with that one but you know! I am quite lazy!

[Frenzyhero 52]

I haven't any real reason to my name, but I just like the word. Unfortunately, it does imply an air of superiority. I wanted something with an "S" that came out easily, and this was the first thing that came to mind. 

 

I may change it in the near future.

[Jackleberry 1,921]

Honestly, I'm not even the one who came up with this name. A friend of mine in another forum gave it to me a few months back. I'm not even sure what it means or why she chose that specific name, but I loved it since it felt more unique, so I stuck with it. Ever since then I've been using the name, and not long after I became a brony, I have decided that it would be my 'pony name' (Minus the 'Sir' part), sounds very fitting don't you think?

[Shame 23]

It's obviously not a happy story, but during 7th and 8th grade I was constantly ridiculed for everything you could imagine, I was made into an outcast, I remember overhearing my parents one night say that they were worried about me. "It's a shame, really..." My mother said, they always said that, what happened was a shame, the way I was was a shame, I was a shame. Shameful, ashamed of their son. I crafted this character carefully, he is me and I am him. My name is no longer Shame because of what happened, but I am Shame because Shame is my life. I have attempted suicide, I've felt depression and I'm ashamed to think of the thoughts I've had. Shame has a future though, I am no longer what I was, but I have kept the brand as a reminder. This character is me and this name is mine, but it does not mean ill, even though it was.

 

Hope that answers the question.

[Bronze Horse 9]

The way I got Bronze Horse is the way I get most of my user names, I look around my room for ideas. While looking, I noticed a horse statue made of bronze in the corner on my room. So I thought, "why not?" and here I am.
