mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[Luna's Admirer 945]

I like the names which sound romantically mysterious. If that make sense to you? 

[Kevin Tang 2,426]

My name here is my real name. I like the name that my mother gave to me or I am just not that creative :/

[Altastrofae 933]

I reached a point in my spiritual journey where I named myself. The end :3

Let's see..... why did I choose my username? 

I picked out the word "King" because they have power, and I like power, and King's have a lot of money, and I like money too so I had decided that King would be part of my name. I chose "Canterlot" because it's the capital city of Equestria, and if I'm a King I should be living in the capital of my nation, so therefore I came up with "King of Canterlot" 

Wait a minute, a king is a ruler of a country but Canterlot isn't a country, it's a capital city of a country :| Care to explain?

[Libra 11,691]

I chose the name Ninetales because thats the name of a pokemon that has become a particular favorite of mine

[Twilight Luna 31,352]

It’s a combination of my two favorite ponies.

Gee, I never would have guessed! (No offence, they're both cool ponies.)

I chose my name because of a typo I saw in a classified add. "Porrot for sale" or something. (It should have been "Parrot for sale", obviously.) I'm a dork and a bird-nerd so naturally I found it hilarious.

Uh, well I rule over Canterlot, which in turn is the political center of Equestria, so therefore I'm still ruling over Equestria, I'm just doing so thru Canterlot, which is where I rule from, though being called "King of Equestria" would make more sense in a way   

[碇 シンジン 27,431]

Because i read the manga and she had most waifu material

[TheOpticsDuck 189]

I just needed a name. Optics are good, Ducks are questionable. It's the golden road middle way choice.

Reading back in this topic, sometimes one has to wonder what was the original user name.
People changed them a few times since they told their origin story. Maybe we are in a comic book at we get rebooted a lot...

[Codelyy 1,286]

My original username back when I was younger was Codelyoko373. I choose it as my favourite show at the time was Code lyoko... I don't know why I choose the numbers 373 though.

I then later decided to go with the username Code as it was what basically everyone referred to me as online. Though recently I've started to consider going with Codely instead as it's less generic then Code  

[Cash In 22,243]

It was a nickname my friends gave me in Grade 9. I guess it kind of stuck with me.

[A French Derpy full of Salt 404]

I'm salty, I'm french and my OC is a unicorn...

That's it.

[CoconutCake 360]

I wanted something that sounded cute and delicious. Hence, CoconutCake!

Also, one of my favorite cakes from our supermarket is a coconut cake and I could devour the entire thing in 3 minutes flat. Yum.

[碇 シンジン 27,431]

I like the aesthetic and meaning

[MangoFoalix 24,944]

I thought it sounded cool 4-5 years ago and it just stuck.

[epiccuttlefish 112]

When I was first choosing a username, back when I was in fourth or fifth grade, I was friends with someone who used the username epicscorpion, and cuttlefish were (and still are) my favorite animal. I have been using the same username ever since.

[Kronos the Revenant 1,971]

it's the name of my OC

[Patty Thundersnow 4,163]

My MLP oc's (the little guy in the avatar) is named Pat Thundersnow. "The Blizzard" is his wrestling gimmick.

[sprinkle nostrils 62]

Ow! It was pretty random. I needed something cheerful and ponysh also Marigold Heavenly Nostrils is my Idol.

[Longhaul 6,842]

When I got into MLP and was creating a character, I had recently come off of an over-the-road truck driving job.  And, since I'm pretty heavily invested in my character, I made him a freight hauler and named him Longhaul.

[Scrubbed user 3,416]

It's making fun of people who pronounce Porsche like that.

[Dashy 4 Ever 4,835]

Well, I am a Sondash fan. I've been one for about 6 years so ya...

I also chose the name because that is my YouTube channel's name.

[Lord Valtasar 12,690]
