mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[Earl Grey Ghost 446]

I have changed my name about three times being on here. First was Memento Mori, based off of my MLP OC, then I did King Blanketfort because it's awesome and envelopes a lot of stuff I used to do growing up in the 90's, forts, Sat. morning cartoons and cereal, using your imagination, exploring, pronouncing yourself the "King" of things. But as time went on, I went back to an ol' internet handle of mine because it reflects who I am now. Earl Grey is my favourite tea, and when I began vaping to quit smoking my favourite vape liquid was "Grey Ghost" and it was flavoured like Earl Grey tea with a dash of sweet creme and zest of lemon. It is still my favourite liquid to this day. So I just merged the two. Earl Grey Ghost. And it has a nice ring to it. It also underlines my love for Victorian things, the UK, being proper, courteous, mindful, respectful and classy. Oh, and of course, my passion for the supernatural.

[SkyPie 261]

I have dedicated my username to my OTP.

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

I chose the “Explosion” part to mean “an explosion of ideas” and the “Mare” part so I could have a pony name. Also, this was a place holder for my OCs name a few years ago.

[碇 シンジン 27,431]

Cause Wei Wuxian's tsundere "stepmom" looks pretty good 

[Arkadios 91]

My username has gone through some changes over the years. G1 was the name “ArcFighter300,” a name I got from Star Wars combined with a childishly random serial number. I think my old Armor Games account has that name.

 

At about that time, I read Ender’s Game, which had the personas Demosthenes and Locke. So, in true naïve 12-year-old fashion, I thought “if I use a Greek-looking username, everyone will agree with me!” That thought influences me to this day. Anyway, I took the word “pleistocene” (because why not) and turned it into “Pleistenes” as my first venture into Greek-looking usernames. That one still exists on the Minecraft forum.

Later on, I got bored with those usernames (and also, I realized I made a mistake when I admitted to bronyism on Anonops...), so, for a quick change of persona, I got really, really creative and made my one of my dad’s favorite clothing brands at the time my username: Arcteryx. That name stuck around on Clash for a year or so until I revised it to “Arkadios” so it was more Greek-looking, at which point I began to use it for all new accounts.

That’s what I saddled myself with back in 2016 and I’ve stuck with it ever since.

[Tropical Melody 6,072]

My name, put thru a ponyname generator.

 

[Olly 1,011]

It's my nickname, short for "Oliver"

[ssj4gogita4 101]

I'm a fan of DragonBall/Z/GT(come at me bro)/Super...but I've had this name since 1999...so I can't imagine why I would have anything different or what it would be. Oh, and my favorite number being 4.

[Esoteric 142]

I chose this because Esoteric is my PSN name, but also because it means "few people would understand". I think it fits.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

*BUMP*

 

'The Boy Queen' is simultaneously a reference to my non-binary identity and to Star VS the Forces of Evil. Aside from that it's still the same. It was derived from the name of my favorite Pokémon.

[AveryGamerDude 4,640]

That's easy. Because my name is Avery, I'm a gamer, and I'm a dude.

[Cloud Night 0]

"Cloud Night" is my user's name in Gameloft's MLP game 

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

...I have no clue why I chose this username, I wanted to sound like some badass.

[Lucky Bolt 35,062]

Cause Lucky Bolt is the name of my ponysona, and I don't know, just the name fits me. 

[Nsxile 26,898]

Because it was unique, and is also the name of my current avatar.

[Galaxical Phoenix 68]

My username is Galaxical Phoenix.

Galaxical - I have a wide variety of interests. Besides, galaxies are very pretty.

Phoenix - I used to be obsessed with phoenixes, my best friend used to identify me with phoenixes, and they’re still cool, so yay.

[Fasu 551]

Fluttershy has been my favourite from mane six since i became brony. I never wanted to use name "Fluttershy", so maybe at 2014 i made somekind of abbreviation, "Fasu". I've used that name since that actually everywhere.

There's also crispy chocolate-goodie sold in Finland, named "Fasu Pala". I laughed when i heard about that for the first time, which was after i choosed my name  

[Mini 451]

i have a high pitched voice that makes me sound 'mini'

[CastletonSnob 3,074]

Why did you choose your user name? 

I chose mine because I love video games.

[PiratePony 8,475]

Avast ahoy ay ay

 

[Cash In 22,230]

It was a nickname that my friend gave me in Grade 9. I hated it at first, but for some reason it stuck with me.

[fare67t 242]

I...honestly don't even remember. I just remember coming up with it to make an account on that old browser RPG, Dragonfable.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Angel Dust + 2 year old forum meme + sounds stupid.

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,601]

I was an edgelord.

Oh, what am I saying? I'm still an edgelord!

[Cagey 4,248]

Is it my imagination, or is there another thread for this?
