mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[Jeremiah 1,586]

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. It's 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.

cool, but my favourite star is known as Vega; Vega is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, the fifth brightest star in the night sky and the second brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, after Arcturus. but cool backstory on the username

[Magic Rasin 180]

 I needed to come up with a username for some site (can't remember, probably a forum) and I couldn't think of anything. After a minute of staring at the screen I just decided to throw 2 random words together and thus the name was born. I've been using it for a year or 2 now and I don't really intend on changing it. And yes I do know it's misspelled, but I like it better misspelled. IDK why but it just feels right.

[Purple Flu 31]

Well, pretty much of adaptation or real life kind of name to Equestria.

Full name`s Teodor Vajhovic.

 

The name has a phonetic challenge in it. Give me a try!

[Midnight Justice 70]

I wanted to come up with a ponyish sounding username.

 

I'm notorious among my friends and family for being a night owl, and pending bar passage I will be an attorney so there ya go.

[Shadow Beam 1,179]

*Insert long, thoughtful explanation behind the meaning of the absolutely not-overused-at-all 'Shadow'* 

 

*Insert long, thoughtful explanation to determine a logical simbolism behind the blatant contradiction whereupon originated from the term 'Beam'*

 

Yep. My innovative perspective of the material world is sure to pass from generations to generations.

[~Lola bunny~ 56]

It's the name of one of my favorite stuffed animals that I've had since I was a baby.

Something simple, but makes me smile every time I log in 

[CosmicHooves 2,705]

Well I used to be called Emerald Starlight (the name of my pony OC), but as my passion for MLP died out, I decided to make a name change.

I was most passionate about video games so I decided to rename myself Commander Shepard who is the main protagonist of the Mass Effect.

Mass Effect is a game I'm in absolutely in love with.

I even bought myself my own custom made Tali Zorah vas Normandy t-shirt (she's also on my PC's desktop and my iPod 5's wallpaper).

So yeah, I'm... VERY passionate about that game.

I'm not necessarily a Brony, but I stick around the fandom because allot of people in this fandom seem to have a passion for video games.

[Scootaloodle 1,622]

My username used to be Asher Danger Dash:

 

I got that from a Rainbow Dash quote “Dangers my middle name, Rainbow Danger Dash”, and combined it with my name Asher.

 

But Scootaloo became my favourite pony, and I wanted a name that reflected that, plus I didn’t think Asher Danger Dash sounded very good and I wanted to revamp my profile in general.

 

I figured Scootaloo on it’s own would be taken as a username, so I tried to think of the closest thing to it and thought Scootaloodle sounded good and original so went with that.

[KirbyFluttershy 2,523]

Well That's a good question. Well For me, I started out as KirbyHamtaro ever since I was like around 9th grade or so, I didn't notice that Hamtaro was on the air on cartoon network so I started watching both Kirby: right back at ya and Hamtaro. I got into hamtaro when it was aired and noticed it on the lineup on my TV cable. The Name will live on through my memory so some people who recognize me as KirbyHamtaro will remember me.

 

KirbyFluttershy, the name I picked out was my idea to pick out ever since I got into MLP and liked Fluttershy. I'm still a huge fan of kirby so that's why I took the name of Kirby and Fluttershy and put the name together.

[LightFlicker 91]

Light Flicker is my first Oc's name. And I like the way the fire on a candle flicks, and thought it would be a cool name for a Unicorn.

[Plume 922]

Long long time ago wen i was just starting out on the internet, my brother was like a godly sort of awesome, know-it-all figure to me. His username at the time was ShadowLakitu, which sounded so cool to me, and I wanted a somewhat similar one. I always liked Kirby, and... well, I was a child, so he decided the word Mini would roll but I could change it later.

 

Understandably, I never did XD

[LeonShi500 155]

My name is short for Leon Shiva, a video game character who's one of the main bosses in the Sega game franchise Streets of Rage.

 

 

The guy knows what he's doing.  He's the reason why I greatly increased my flexibility and learned how to do a (no hands) kick up.

Still weaksauce compared to him, obviously.

Oh, and the number 500 is also pretty cool.

[pinkbubbles 57]

Pink comes from Pinkie Pie. She's so cute and happy and sweet.

And Bubbles comes from Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls. When I was growing up, I was Bubbles, while my cousin was Buttercup.

And that still hold to this day. I'm the sweet, sensitive one, while she's the rough one with a bad attitude.

[Troblems 5,617]

@, Great topic! So much so that we already have a thread for it! I merged yours with the older user name thread.

 

As for my user name, I can't help it, I love love. 

 

[CosmicSpark 2,120]

I chose CosmicSpark because its the name of my OC.

[Kellie 122]

I was born with it, it wasn't maybelline.

[YuiStrawberry 54]

Because I love sao ^-^ it's one of my favorite anime

[GeekySonic 1,150]

When I was 13, I joined wikiHow. In the Enter Your Username space, I typed in Mynameisgarrett. Obviously, not a genius choice. I requested a name change, again without thinking. I chose "Geeky", as I had just got glasses, and felt like a true geek. I decided on "Sonic", since Sonic the Hedgehog was my childhood idol. Since then, "GeekySonic" has become my screen name on every social media site I use.

[Suyu 108]

I just randomly though of it when I was creating a fake Yahoo email account (for personal reasons) and I though it sounded cool so yeah. RIP Shadowrevolt. January 2015-June 2015

[SomeMLP Brony 41]

I'm not any good at coming up with names(or friggin english essays, grr! Stories? Sure!) and I didn't want my real name on the internet, so I made this one.

[Ushatka 71]

[~Kitty~ 165]

[Blueberry Waffle 102]

[Ribbonfree 2,383]

Callback to an old name I had on this forum, which was inspired by Coco Pommel and her real life counterpart.
