mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[MLG4Ever 876]

"MLG" is just means my name and 4Ever part is just out of the Radom yep it's simple

I've had this username sence 2010 or 11 when I was playing Club penguin and just starting to play on private servers (they all, exept for one that I know of, are non-existent/ closed but, not due to C&D)

[colt .45 259]

Easy, I'm a male, hence the colt part, and I'm fourty-five years old. And I don't plan on changing my user name after my b-day, because I still like guns and malt liquor.

[Bill_theBrohny 31]

mine is always Bill_the(insert thing here)

[Odyssey 5,716]

Odyssey is one of my favourite words. To me, it has this vibe of grandness, mystery and adventure, much like in the epic poem Homer's Odyssey.

 

I was lately thinking of changing my username, but yet at the same time, I've been using Odyssey for so long that there isn't any point to change it since people here already remember it.

[Landon_pinkieshy 26]

well my user name is my surname Landon (also the surname of the world's greatest actor Michael Landon) and pinkie shy comes,.. you guessed it.. from fluttershy & pinkie pie put together (my 2 fave ponies) I am shy & quiet & an animal lover like fluttershy & i have a mad sense of humour like pinkie pie (although she is far more outgoing than i am) I just kinda thought it would be cool to add both names together to come up with a user name

[InsertUsernameHere 149]

Needed good name. Thought this one up. There you go.

[BurningEmber 38]

It's my OC, he's a grumpy armor smith, i...am not!   

[HailTrixie 239]

So many people have cool and creative backgrounds... I just named myself HailTrixie because I couldn't think of anything

 

Although my username was going to be RarityIsShit but I was muted as soon as I logged into EQTV with that name so I thought it might not be the best idea. When I logged back in as HailTrixie people seemed to like it so that's what I stuck with.

[Buzz 1,769]

I was named after my Great Grandad and Buzz was his nickname in the navy. He use to tell my dad and uncles about his time in the service, and they decided to start calling him it aswell. When I was given the same name, my father's side of the family decided that it would also be ideal to give me the same nickname!

[inactive_user 367]

The story of why I chose my username... Oh boy...... Let's see here... Originally the number 1925 was given to me as a generic username on the first forum I ever started using, centered around a game community for a game I had on my Nintendo DS in about the year 2005-ish. Anyway, that gave me the name there of "user1925"... Now when the sequal to this game released, now that I knew how to actually create my own personal username on the sequel's forum, I just kinda used that same number, just 'cause (and it wasn't even just for a reason of like "so my friends will still recognize me there" because by this point still, I hadn't really made any friends on there at all.) and added my name in, to replace the whole "user" part... And from then on, this has kinda just been a common username for me...

Eventually though I did come to try to be a little more creative with some usernames, or "gamertags" if you will once I started on Xbox Live, and I ended up keeping one I made that I've now had for about 5 years straight now. But other than that, I tend to just keep this same username for most things on stuff like forums and whatnot.

[Lexamena 391]

My cat is named lexi and I like pinkies name pinkamena so I combined them

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

Back in high school, I wrote this (admittedly awful) Pokemon fanfiction revolving around a ZangooseXSeviper Pairing (which is still my non-pony OTP to this day). Eventually, the story managed to be popular enough that I wrote a sequel set in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon universe, though I never even came close to finishing it.

 

Where am I going with all this? Well, the team name for these two "forbidden lovers" was Team PoisonClaw.

[Blackened 512]

It's the name of a Metallica song. Nothing too interesting.

[backpon 320]

My gaming name for all platforms is QuantumPhoss, it is a shortened and typoed version of QuantumPhosphorus. I came up with this about 6 years ago when I was brainstorming names w/ my friends. When I joined Mlpforums and any other brony chat I changed my name to Quantumpony. You could say that this is my fandom name

[Justin_Case001 4,881]

Justin Case is my alias for everything.  I started putting the 001 at the end because "Justin Case" is always already registered for games (although I've never seen another Justin Case in a game, anywhere, ever. )  I use the underscore because many games and sites don't allow spaces.  So, Justin_Case001 is just the default so it always works, and it's the same name everywhere.  Same name on the Warframe forums.  Same avatar, too!

[Techno Azure 32]

Wow! This was super interesting to read through.

[Whitewolf 106]

I created this username a long time ago, and now I use it everywhere. I called myself "Whitewolf" because the wolf is my favorite animal, and I added "White" because white wolves are beautiful, and because it sounds good with "wolf".

[Dynamo Pad 11,270]

My username is my OC's name and both parts of my name came from two of my friends. Kyubiki is also my nickname and I got that name in my sophomore year of high school. It was during my science class and my friend gave me that name because they said I reminded them about Naruto. Tenchu was a few months ago when I was talking to one of my friends on Xbox. I was trying to make a different rp character and I was asking for ideas on a name that would work with Kyubiki. Throwing some ideas around my friend and I came up with Tenchu and it fit well with my nickname and it has now become my OC name Kyubiki Tenchu.

[Arpeggio Sweep 48]

I learned how to do sweep arpeggios on guitar really fast when I was 16-18, when I 'got my cutie mark'. Arpeggio sweeps are like this:

 

It's the name of a Metallica song. Nothing too interesting.

Dude. Righteous /)

[Pastel 7,630]

Mine's from an old French video game where the currency was the "Blobule".

I added a "l" to make a pun with "blob" (a fantasy creature) and "bulle" (bubble in French).

[Panne 1,342]

Because Panne is a rad as heck Fire emblem character.

[Velcorn 279]

It's Randy March's character name in WoW in the WoW episode in South Park... It was meant to be spelled "Valkorn" but I didn't do any research on the name and spelled it the way that seemed good to me so "Velcorn" was born... Been using that name as my gamer tag for over 4 years now I think^^

[Cosmik Vek 764]

My username consists of the word Obliveon, a word that comes from the name of a local band Technical Metal band I like and I thought the word would be cool to use instead of Oblivion so I picked it and the other word Vortex is for my passion to sci-fi and dark themes elements, thus a vortex this time.

[Jeremiah 1,586]

I was pressured so i thought 'Sunset Shimmer' and Master thus Sunset_Master but my reviewing persona is known as the King Of Depravity and that persona is a guy who loves anarchy and choas and reviewing, a basically more hyped up version of Silver Quill but a knack for world domination so yeah....

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

Regulus is a star, one of the brightest in the night sky, 70-something lightyears away. It is actually a system of four stars in two pairs. The brightest of the four is much larger and burns much hotter than the sun. It is a bluish main-sequence star; it spins rapidly enough to have an oblong shape. Its companion star is a white dwarf. Farther away are two other main sequence stars, roughly similar to the sun.

 

In mythology, the name Regulus is from the diminutive form of the Latin rex, and means Little King. In times past it has been known simply as Rex, as well as by kingly names in other languages. I first adopted the name as a unique one on a Lion King forum, because it fit so well like that. But the name grew on me and I decided to keep it since.

 

The admiral part of my name doesn't mean much, but I consider myself the Admiral of my own Kerbal space program, so there's that.

 

That's me: Admiral Regulus. He who is obsessed with astronomy, science fiction, The Lion King, and all things feline.

 

You can just call me Reggy or Regs, though. :3
