mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[Talemage 47]

Jieldy came from (strangely) my like for names starting with j or t, the word 'wield,' and because I happened to have read and liked (and cried my eyes out) the My Little Dashie fanfiction. It was originally supposed to be Jieldie, but it sounded weird, so I replaced the ie for a y.

This has been the name I use when going online ever since. Unless you count that time I called myself Rogue.

[Fenrir 39]

Mine is going to sound wierd. But, here goes nothing. The IrkenFenrir is actually a combination of two different words, as you could probably tell by the seemingly randomly capatilized F. The word Irken is probably more familiar to more people. It comes from Invader Zim, it is the name of his alien species. I used to be obsessed with Invader Zim (similar to how I am obsessed with MLP, but I have become a bigger fan of this much faster than I did for Invader Zim) and still enjoy the show. I have the entire series on DVD. I really liked how Irken sounded so thats why its the first part of my name.

Fenrir, is little harder to explain. One of my favorite games between the ages of 13 and 16 was Kingdom hearts 1 and 2. I played through both of these over 5 times each. I actually at one point had 7 files, all mine, all level 100, for kindom hearts 2. In KH2, if you beat Sepheroth, you get a Keyblade called Fenrir. I wondered how Fenrir had to deal with Final fantasy, so I looked it up, and found out it was the name of clouds bike and a few other bosses in FF. I wondered then, where does Fenrir itself come from, so I looked it up. Its from Norse Mythology, he is the father of all wolves, son of Loki, and was prophisized to bring about the death of Odin during the days of Ragnorok( the end of the world) and was subsiquently chained down to prevent this. I had always had an affinity for wolves, and Fenrir was my favorite Keyblade(it just looked so AWESOME) so thats how I learned to love Fenrir.

Now, why did I choose these for my Username? I used to go on a website call funnyjunk, and my username was Immelmannfan ( which payed homage to my favorite webcomic artist at the time, Immelmann, who took the name from an anime Last exile, which is about planes and stuff, which Immelmann is a arial manuver) but, as I started to get way deep into the Invader Zim Fandom, I decided a change of name was in order. However, I didnt want to have to change it again later if I fell out of the fandom( which I figured I would eventually) so I wanted a name that payed homage to Invader Zim, but also had my own personal touch to it so that I could use it for any fanbase, regardless. I know I mentioned that Fenrir came, originally, from kingdom hearts( at least originally for me), but after learning more about the history of Fenrir, and because of my love of wolves, I decided that Fenrir would be a good part to have in the name. I didnt want to use zim in my name, because that would immediatly be associated with invader zim, and would give people the preconcieved notion that I was in love with the show( even though I was, I didnt know if I would ALWAYS be in love with the show). So I used a slightly less well known part of the show, Irken, cause I like how it sounds. Now to put them together. FenrirIrken just looks wierd, doesnt flow or type easily, and sounds stupid. But IrkenFenrir, Is easily readable, types easily, and sounds cool.

And that fillies and gentlecolts, is the story of my name. But you can call me Fenrir for short if you like.

[Knight Shadrahk 158]

[RainbowDashTheWolf 0]

I chose mine because i love wolves more than anything. And because me and RD were litteraly made for eachother.

[goldenHoof 49]

Well I wanted something that sounds good and a pony like name

[Envoy-in-exile 101]

Because I am an envoy from the real world to the internetz.

Been using it from the start of my internet existence.

[PoisonClaw 8,153]

Originally it was the name of a team in an old PMD fanfic of mine. Since then it's become my prefered choice when joining forums and other such sites.

[Gingerpotato 889]

Well, my french class was having a competition about who could make the best puppet (don't ask me why, french lessons confuse me) and we all had to make and bring in a puppet/some sort of creation that is vaguely puppet-like. Needless to say I forgot. So, 10 minutes before departing to school I grabbed a potato, drew a smiley face on it and coloured the top orange.

My french teacher was not very happy but the rest of the class 'loved' it. I think they loved it at least, there was a lot of laughter. I was then known as Gingerpotato in my french class and the name stuck.

 

I have been using it ever since

[ScarletDagger 88]

I picked my username because its my fanpony's name. And i picked this as my fanpony's name because i wanted a red pony, scarlet fit the deal, then came the second half. Dagger made sense. And scarletdagger sounded awesome.

[NewCalamity 3,454]

My name came from original XBL when I got Halo 2 for Christmas. I wanted a long name with a 'fancy' word nobody uses in their daily lives...So I thought about it for literally 35 minutes! Finally I came up with NewCalamity.

 

Other alias I have went by in the past: peopleman8, RebornCalamity, Lysaunder

[Luriel Maelstrom 253]

Been using Luriel long time ago, and got it in game World of Warcraft, I type 3 last letters of my real name and added 3 more Lur-iel sticking to this name forever, and some people in my country actually call me Luriel, I'm the baws!!!

[Fluttershy4life 150]

My bestie and I call each other Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, i'm Fluttershy because i'm "cute and innocent" Also Fluttershy is my fav character so i'm cool with it. My picture is Dashie and Pinkie because they're my other two fav characters

[Fox 5,330]

I'm changing my name in real life to fox.

[MadAlice 9]

I choose my user name because I enjoy girls that run around with oversized weapondry while killing things.

[RippedOffMattress 314]

I try to think of the most random names without it sounding too ridiculous.

 

First it was pokemonmshaw, then FinancialUpprising, then DarkMagicMaker, but now, I've happily settled upon, RippedOffMattress!

[Mare in the Moon 173]

Me and my friend were making random XBox Gamer Tags just for the hell of it, just to use them for the free first month. I picked mine as "KarmaRidesDim" which is an anagram for "I am Mr. Darkside". His Old gamertag was "Fade2Oblivion" so I took out the 2 and made the anagram "NovaBioField" which I really liked the sound of, so I used it as my username here.... basically its an anagram of "Fade Oblivion"

[Arkane 269]

Arkane.

 

It was supposed to be Arcane. But using the letter k made it look cooler. [e.g. magic - majick, magitech - magitek, electronic - elektronik]

 

It's the name that we used to name our band. the name was originally mine.

 

It's my signature

[K4GZL-11D72612 13]

K4GZL is my Xbox Live gamer-tag, which my father suggested. Now I use it for other accounts, usually adding a twist to it here and there. The latter part of my MLP Forum usename is just taking K4GZL and changing the letters to numbers and vice versa.

[StuffyCake123 25]

I chose my name because it is my fanpony name, my friends (ScarletDagger and SugarSprinkles777) and i came up with our fanpony names together, I am called StuffyCake because I love to eat and cook.

[Inactive01 5,298]

At first, I chose Mightyputty because it was my trademark username in recent times and because of Billy Mays.

 

When I figured it didn't fit too well in the MLPforum atmosphere, I changed it so that it showed my favourite pony: Derpy. I just added the Derpity Derp for the fun of it

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 637]

I randomly made it upp

[Kaborer 164]

Well I used to use the name xrx45 after calling my old e-mail account that, because I thought it looked cool, but as I grew older other I found it rather uncreative.

I decided to change my name to something without numbers, something you were able to say and something that had a meaning behind it.

I wanted to have the first letter of my real name "Kristoffer" as the first letter in my name, and wanted to show my political opinion subtly. So I was thinking of socialistic-like parties in English-speaking countries and the only I could think of at the time was the Labour party. I changed labour to labourer then to kabourer and removed the "U" and therefore "Kaborer".

I very seldom call myself anything else now.
