mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[Moony the Cat 3,702]

I choosed my username because i didnt liked the name Dune that much anymore. Some people asked me if the name has anything to do with the Dune Bock Series of Frank Herbert. And yes, its kinda based from the Movie, but than i realized that i pretty much forgot everything about the movie anyway and i didnt read the books...so..the name wasnt really fitting anymore 

 

Then i started to watch .hack//SIGN which is an anime. And i liked it so far. And i like the music. And i like Rarity. So the name .hack//RARITY was created. And Fallentrench helped a little with the cool Avatar and Signature

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

Earl is my nickname. It's pretty much as simple as that. Also, I had nothing to do with "My Name Is Earl". I hate that show.

[Smarts 1,622]

I changed my name to Smarts because it sounds better...

 

I-I mean, I was always called Smarts. Didn't change my name at all, no siree. I don't know what you are talking about, shut up!

[Petrus 696]

I wanted to choose a unique name for my OC and ultimately other personas. For some reason I saw two words and put them together as surtep. And I said "Huh.. I like it but it sounds a little random" So I flipped it around. "Petrus"

[SpikusFyre 486]

About seven or eight years ago i drew a stick figure with spikes on it. For whatever reason I decided to keep working with said figure and actually develop it into an actual character and give it different stories and scenarios to go through that i'm still coming up with to this day. Unfortunately, I suck at coming up with names and called him "Spike-fire" for the first couple of years. I then decided to change his name to "Spikus Fyre" because of the reason of I'm an idiot and i thought it sounded like "Old English" a little bit. It stuck. Since I basically use said name as my own for basically everything since i based the personality of the character off of mine that's why I have this name.

 

TL;DR made up a character like eight years ago and use it's name for mine cause reasons.

[Nila Bean 133]

I liked the way it sounds. Whenever I would see/hear the word Nom Nom, a image of a baby eating apple slices popped in my head...I have no idea why, just another crazy, weird way in which my brain thinks ^^.

[CharlotteR-MLP 50]

It's simple. My real, give name is Charles, and being trans I referred to myself as the female equivalent. Similarly the "R" is the surname initial and you know about the MLP stuff.

 

I find usernames and junk to be unimportant and quite frankly I'm terrible at it. At least it's better than those completely random letter chains I used like "resi21" or "yopso64." Seriously, what was I thinking XD

[CookieK 74]

My cat's name is Cookie and people called by my initials when I was in school hence CookieK ,K being short for my first name Katharine.

[Kiri 7,289]

My username is the name of my OC. :3

[AmethystGlaze 81]

I like the colour purple

I like crystals

I am a ceramicist and I like to experiment with glazes.... 

 

 

[Lauriferous 41]

It's a Latin word meaning triumphant or victorious.  I don't have a personal backstory as to why I chose it, just thought it sounded neat.

[No One and Nobody 85]

I chose mine because my sister and I started doing things online (writing on fimfiction) and I wanted a name (or rather a double name) that would tell people absolutely nothing about us. Plus it's kind of a private joke since both my sister and I have huge inferiority complexes.

We're not famous or anything so the name fits perfectly.

[White 189]

Because I like the colour white. Why else would I ?

[Caliboom 219]

In most sites, my username is either "Caliburn" or "Caliburne".

 

I chose this one because it is similar to those names, and it's also the name for my pony OC.

[RattPitt 172]

My name has surprisingly a lot of origins. The 'Ratt' part is partially a reference to the fact that I had a rat as a pet, the band Ratt (that I'm not much of a fan of, but they've got a cool name), and that I've always been a fan of horror. The 'Pitt' part doesn't really have much of a reason behind it, other than that it fits with Ratt. The extra t's is an aesthetic choice. The words RatPit looks too narrow in my opinion.

[Star Blossom 160]

Lalafell is my favorite race from ffxiv! 

 

[ChikaChan 7,324]

I like the light coming from the moon

[Bruh 37]

I chose mine since it reflects my laid-back style of life. Also, having site messages refer to me as "Bruh" is funny as hell.

[Almond Blackberry 63]

I chose my username because I was on a pony name generator and I got something similar to the username I am using now. I thought "well, this is a name generator and other people may have this nickname." So I kept the Almond part, and then added BlackBerry because I have a BlackBerry bush in my garden.

[iceestarz 5,765]

I needed an Instagram username and it was the first thing that popped into my head so I decided to use it for my name on here too? Lol. Before it was cupcakes14, idk why that was. I like cupcakes I guess?

[ScarfaceOne 263]

Because my name stems from the Fighter Pilot from Ace Combat 2. Despite being owned by Namco, it has completely become my personal insignia at the moment. The only lines he says are ''Autopilot off'' and ''Scarface One, ball, Guide me in!!!'' and ''This is Scarface One, request landing''. He has quite a friendly demeanour for a fighter pilot, almost as friendly as Chopper's.

[Not_active 732]

My name is from from an artist I like, A$AP Ferg.

It was a pretty random pick

[Christmasy Britty 2,553]

Just changed it back to Magical Britty Witty, because I am magical and witty and my name is Brittany

[N.W. 3,619]

Been a while since I posted here, but I'll do an update for the new username.

 

As much as I liked Sergei, it was rather vague and generic in a sense and it had obvious ties to my interest in Russia. I still have an interest in Russia, but I don't want that to be the first thing people think of when they think of me or my username, I wanted to branch out more. Nebula Wolf was something I came from wolves being my favorite animal and Nebulae being one of the most fascinating and beautiful things in the universe (in my opinion at least).

 

Oh and Nebula sounds better than Sergei as an OC name.

[Grim Mortis 106]

I've developed my user name from the Latin word Mortis which means death. I've always believed death is needed for the balance of all things. Things live and they die. Ive alsways been a lonely soul and I believe death is epitome of that idea.
