mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[baba_booey 4,301]

Rusty the Narrow Gauge Diesel is number 5.

So therefore,

RUSTY5

[Flutter's lover <3 8,205]

It was on a whim, sort of. Thought I'd change my name a bit....so instead of "Dash" I put the r63 term of Rainbow's name instead which is "blitz" The colons just add a unique thing to it. before I had tildes "~" on it.  Might change to <> later.

[Miles 2,512]

Although Applejack is my favorite of the Mane 6, I just felt like my OC would be better off as a pegasus because of the humorous irony in that I am afraid of heights, but if I had wings, I wouldn't be.  So, I chose Miles because A- it can actually be a first name, and B- it refers to a distance measurement that I deemed appropriate as a first name for my OC; then I chose Glidershy for different reasons - 'Glider' because I would glide through the sky with wings, and I added 'shy' to the end because, though I'm not actually really all that shy, I am definitely introverted.  There you have it.

[Kabuu 59]

A few years ago, I needed a new Skype name. Low on creativity and patience, this was the first thing that came to mind, and I liked it so much that I named my account here Spacederp as well!

[irondreams 31]

My name is both the result of not having one before and picking something symbolic.

 

Iron is the worldly stuff, Dawn is the spiritual stuff.

I prefer to embrace my inner duality.

 

Also it sounds cool.

[Poncebora 91]

Because i like PlayStation.

[mlpfiwcat 30]

My user name was created when I became a brony. One of the major factors in my accent into bronydom was friendship is witchcraft. So, I took my little pony(mlp), friendship is witchcraft(fiw), and I really like cats. And that's my user name!

[Sound Variations 264]

I've used a lot of usernames, but most of them were song titles. The username I'm using right now, Unforgiving Sound. This username is something I actually made up for myself. The name Unforgiving Sound is a reflection of how most people view my music taste. I will give you an example of what I mean by that.

[Silvercade 3]

I got the name from a band my dad's former co-worker used to play in. The lead singer was a HUGE prick and decided to head off to Europe and the band broke up within a year. I decided to do this username in their memory.

[Addelyn 45]

Addelyn is the name of an MMORPG character I played a few years ago. I love the name so I kept it 

[Archi the Atmomancer 564]

Archi is short for Archimedes, who was some cool Greek/Syracusan inventor guy. Sandworm because sandworms are awesome, all-devouring death machines.

[Flight Risk 28]

I've always liked the idea of a Pegasus OC, and I couldn't think of much as far as sky/cloud/flying names went.

 

Then it hit me.

 

I'd heard the term "flight risk" dropped a lot, especially in courts. It actually means someone who may be suspected of fleeing the country to avoid being found guilty.

 

Not that I'm guilty of anything (except for being a Brony) but I just liked the name.

[Lightning Bliss 1,674]

I chose mine because I figured everypony member here had a pony name and just assumed I should do the same. I wanted to do that anyway, represent myself through my ponysona of Lightning Bliss and what kind of pony or pony member I am.

[Coco Pommel 669]

Because Coco Pommel is the cutest most adorable one shot character in existance. This is a fact.

[Iudex 1,945]

After a guy from Splinter Cell. I was always player two so I always played as Kestrel. I don't really like my real name.

 

I also go by Windhover. (Another name for the American kestrel, a bird.)

And closer friends call me Indy. (Windhover > Windy > Indy)

[Prince Doopliss 2,351]

I picked mind, because well I recently got interest at a series known Touhou and well Patchouli happens to be my favorite character, so yeah that is what made me come up with my current username.

[\/ 650]

I've got no real username. I've never thought of a good one to stick with. I've used Hacker V before. Someone I knew called me that when I started learning how to code. But when you go around playing on Steam with a name like that, you get a lot of hate and accusations. I just changed it to V later. I get called V a lot. And the username I have here writing this topic was made because I had a lack of Ideas and my profile picture has a mustache. I'll probably change my username later.

[LostPony 30]

It very long story but gist of my name is I feel lost and alone. 

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

PonygamesFluttershy is my YouTube name it means

 

Ponygames: this is the Guild I run Ponygames Guild

 

Fluttershy: is the pony I represent other guild members names are similar to mine

[GammaDove 428]

I have a friend that runs a website called LaserPigeon, and I forgot about that for a while, until about an hour after I created it.

[remove p l e a s e ? 800]

Because I can make DooM WADs and I fixed about 10 computers so far. Sure, not the best programmer on the forums (or anywhere), but I just have an interest in computer codes and stuff.

 

EDIT: It is also the chosen name for my ponysona: "Kilobyte Writer."

[Yandere-Island 3]

I was going to chose the name of my tulpa, Salvia (no, she's not a pony), but I just kinda leaned to my current name just because of my interest with Yandere's...Island, is just something to add on to it lol! So yeah, there you go!

[Lume WMj 228]

Lume, in my main language (Portuguese), is another word for "fire", "brightness". I chose this username randomly a few years ago for an online game I used to play, liked it, and nowadays I use it for everything else on the internet~

 

WMJ is an acronym - it stands for the full name of a dear friend of mine. We met when we were young, but then he moved out of town and we never saw each other again, since I failed to get his phone number, e-mail and everything (I was so young, I probably didn't even know those things existed). So I dedicated my username to him, I don't know, probably in hope that someday he would see it somewhere and recognize it. Who knows? The world is a small place!

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,160]

Well, Patfhinder is a word I like, and I feel it represents how I see myself in life. I try to find the path that bests fits me; but it's a never ending search as there is never one perfect path. As such, it's an ongoing thing; an adventure in its own right.

 

CS is essentially a tribute to the internet name that I have been using previously for years; Captain Spyro. I decided the time was right for a new name, but I wanted to at least keep a mention of the old one.

[Doc Monochrome 173]

It's the name of my Ponysona ultimately...
