mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[IronM17 5,353]

When I am joined the biggest german MLP Forum Bronies.de, I was searching for a nickname. It was 2 o'clock AM and I was really uncreative. So, I gave me the name IronMetal in allusion to the band Iron Maiden. When I later joined deviantArt, the Name IronMetal was taken by an other User. Therefore I curtailed the Name to IronM and inflicted my lucky number 17 to it. And now, I am (more or less) known as IronM17 in the Fandom. 

[Yoshikupo 302]

I chose my name because I love Yoshi and the last thing that a moogle says in final fantasy is kupo, I also picture a moogle riding a Yoshi now, as well as him screaming "this is my Yoshi kupo!"

(I thought it was funny)

[SkullcandyPegasus 603]

I was imitating some other user's usernames, but with a musical/pegasus-ish twist?

[1Bit 1,531]

Well my current username is kinda related to my passion for Halo I suppose XD

 

Frankie O'Connor has been a figurehead of 343i since Halo 4, and has kind of become the community's favourite because of it. He's had multiple cameos in the games and tv series, Forward Unto Dawn. But the name 'Cranky O'Fonner' was just from a silly video making fun of 343i

[deathpioupiou 103]

When i was 10 years old, me and my friends draw a lot of monster and make them fight. My username come from a civilization name the PiouPiou. Their chief nickname was Deathpioupiou so this monster nickname become my username

[Mobley 113]

I just think 'Mobley' has a funny ring to it. I first used as a surname for one of my more comical Guild Wars 2 characters 'Moston Mobley' and never looked back

[IDoNotSpeakEnglish 89]

I just thought that it would be useful to warn anyone that talks to me that I Do Not Speak English(I'm still learning). =)

[TigerGeekGuy 4,662]

My username on DeviantArt is TigerGeekGuy, my first, and for a while - only, social media account. This is my second, so I just appended "Another" to the beginning.

[aoEAF2FBvC0MIo2Q 3,673]

I've had this name for a long time but only recently have I decided to use it again.

 

It was on my first playthrough of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and the Yoshi Kid hatched from its egg. The color was blue

 

 

 

OK, so I needed to name him. The colors reminded me of water so that became my starting point. Hydro? Nah. Hydraulic? Hydric? Hyric? Hyric it is then.

 

Oh and I got the game pretty much as soon as it came out -- all the way back in 2004

Edited August 22, 2015 by Hyric

[Adri 52]

because i lack creativity I prefer my real name

[MLPFanPony 380]

MLPFanPony. This is a 'MLP' website so MLP. Then you know the 'FanGirl' thing? I used 'Fan' but instead

of 'girl' I used 'pony'

[Floris 287]

It's my real name.

 

 

 

 

...Yes, people do that sometimes.

[----------------------- 171]

Because it's short, sweet, and to the point. Nothing too complicated or anything. XD

[Mad Cyantist 30]

Because if I had an OC then it would have a cyan coat, and it would also be wearing crazy goggles.

[Troblems 5,617]

@@Jeric said something about the sorceress from Final Fantasy 8 in conjunction with me. Her nick name is Matron. The name stuck. I approve.

[Sweetie-Belle 180]

Because SWEETIE BELLE IS BEST PONY

[SilverFlameWolf 47]

I got my username many years ago, maybe 12 years now. I was writing a book called Silver Flame and I had a character that was a wolf in it. So I just started using SilverFlameWolf ^^ I also love the color silver, like watching flames, and I love wolves.

[Ben the Brony 239]

My Forums and Skype Username is a joke made by a good friend of mine when they learned I was a Brony. I mean, come on, it does have a nice ring to it! My Steam username is based off an old account a friend gave to me back in the Golden Days of RuneScape (circa 2003).

[best poni 1,518]

I choose my username, "Best Poni" because it's the name of my pony youtube channel. Also because my profile pic will always be fluttershy, and fluttershy is bae (before anypony else).

 

My channel <3

[YoshiFanGM 50]

My previous name was Derpy-Fan GM, because Derpy is best background pony, but I reverted it to my original one (current).

 

I was a big Yoshi fan way before MLP FiM started airing, but those days are almost dead now... kinda...

GM stands for Game Maker. Again, I don't use it as much as I used to because I have better tools now.

 

I've used this username since the 2007-2008 era, btw.

[PacificGreen 1,163]

Short version: Comes from an Owl City song. Except it doesn't.

 

Long version: Had the song "Captains and Cruise Ships" by Owl City stuck in my head. Thought of the words "Atlantic Blue", but since I live on the Pacific coast, not the Atlantic, and we have a lot of trees here, I just went with Pacific Green. Has nothing to do with marijuana. 

 

I took this one because my nickname is Cassafrass (real name is Cassidy), and I love dragons  so... the name Cassadragon was born! XD

 

JOOC, where'd the "frass" come from?

[-Octavia- 1,176]

I daresay Octavia would have something to do with it. I changed the first syllable to "Wub" for a touch of irony given that Octavia has little appreciation for such music, although this may now be different canonically since Slice of Life's release.

[Ponyboat 62]

My name is Boatman. I ponified it. Sorry it's not interesting but you asked haha.

[catnet 9,356]

I went with 'YourSillyPoneh~' mainly since it sounds so cute, fun and innocent, plus I was feeling kinda negative about my previous username, in all honesty. =/ Still couldn't get rid of the tilde, though~

[TheLegoBrony 383]

at first I went for my original user name "bruticusdude65" then I went with my first OC's name "Lezovick" then I finally went with my best OC "Shadtrax.S" and on the plus side my username now Shadtrax is shippable so now you can ship my name with any brony, pegasister or mlp character
