mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[Gummy 724]

I named myself after a fictional alligator.

[Evilshy 5,089]

Well my name is a take on the fictional character toothless (the dragon from how to train your dragon as seen in my profile pic) and brony. = toothlessbrony. I chose it because toothless is awesome and im a brony.

 

Toothless is indeed awesome. That was a great movie.

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

Pinkie Pie + Freakazoid = Pinkazoid

[PetiteLaSouris 16]

I've been using Petite as a tag for years, usually at the start of usernames. Then when I signed up to another website last year, I wanted something that couldn't be traced back to the old username too obviously, because I knew they're were some people on the site I would rather avoid So PetiteLaSouris was born. I don't speak french, but my friends told me it means The little mouse. Hope they weren't tricking

[SuperTheAwesome 199]

Every time I've created a username, it has had the words "Super" and "Awesome"

While playing video games, people that did not have mics typed out either "Super" or "Awesome"

So, I went with Super when I was lazy and all the names I tried were taken. It felt right calling myself Super. For a very short while, I used the name Mr. Awesome. Most websites had that name already taken, so I thought of a full name for Mr. Awesome. Super came to mind again so I thought I should name myself Super Awesome. After I noticed that was taken a lot, I realized "Awesome" was more of a title than a last name. I then became Super, The Awesome!

To scare the little fillies and foals with the terror that exists inside all of us.

[Broccoli 127]

When I watched the Cutie Mark Chronicles, I really wanted to use the picture of filly Pinkie with rainbow in her eyes somewhere. So I used it here.

[Killian Jones 2,653]

I've been called Tich for so long and I've used it for so long, so I will always be Tich. Always mispronounced.

[Finest Hour 3]

I'm not very creative at making names, so I asked a friend to come up with one and they chose this one. Unfortunately, I didn't know another member had a similar name, so it caused drama and people think I'm a troll. But whatever. As long as I'm not doing anything wrong, I ignore them.

[RainboomGenesis 0]

A time line of my online handles

2006: First YouTube account under the username

Pokemonman56. Pokemonman56 came from my love of all things Pokemon.

 

2008:A joint channel between me and my friend under the username Pkmn56andGara86.

 

2009:I make my Xbox live account under the name zoloman900000. It came from my first email address which is zoloman@bigstring.com, which came from the One Piece character Zolo.

 

2011: I am exposed to bronys via a KnowYourMeme video on "Derpy Hooves"

 

November 2011: I watch season 1 and come to love the show becoming a briny. And I also picked my favorite pony as Rainbow Dash.

 

Now: rainboomtothemax was going to be nuclearrainboom but, raimboomtothemax won.

 

But my name is going to change to SupremeRainboomSweatshirt. 1) because I fucking lobe Earl Sweatshirt and the rest of Odd Future. 2)SleepySupreme is my DJ name. Check me out on YouTube youtube.com/radioactivekidrobot

i didnt think you were a troll when i first saw you, but i was kinda like "what, why is he using that name?"

 

but seriously, you should consider a name change. even if it's not your intention, many will see it as trying to piggyback off Finest's fame and respect.

[Wonka 39]

I named myself after Wonka because not only was the older version of him is boss, but because we share many of the same characteristics.

[Kenny 232]

"Kenny" is my nickname in real life and I'm too lazy to think of something creative.

I'm not going to change my name for anyone. They'll just have to get over it.

[Gummy 724]

YO FINEST HOUR QUIT TRYING TO PIGGYBACK OFF THAT GUYS FORUM FAME.

 

Are people really upset about this?

Edited January 4, 2012 by Gummy

[RainboomGenesis 0]

I agree with Gummy. Change it or Snails gets it.

[Skye Starlight 223]

I decided to create a pony to call my own, and did so, then needed a name... I thought through various names before settling on Skystar, and since this is a mlp forum, I decided to call myself that and make my pony my avatar!

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

Here are a list of usernames I went through:

 

ThatOneDude: Because I'm so goddamn creative...

 

NeverEndingDaze: I was looking for the username NeverEndingConfusion but it wasn't available so I looked for synonyms for Confusion, and Daze came up. So I used that.

 

ProjectEndgame: I always thought that names that began with Project were pretty cool. So I looked for names that could pair up with it. At the time, Megadeth's album called Endgame was one of my favourites and I couldn't stop listening to it. So I put the two together and got this.

 

StrappingYoungLad: Because Devin Townsend kicks so much ass it's not even funny. Plus I was on a SYL craze for a while.

[Aureity 3,055]

My current one is an actual English word. It's great cause it means something and it's usually never taken.

The other one I use is an anagram of my name

[Killian Jones 2,653]

So I used to play Starcraft on the Korean Ladder, and people there had these completely cool yet unoriginal names which were just words. Like Zealot or even Moon, I also wanted that, so I wanted Day. So I picked that before a famous commentator. Then I had to reset the universe so that whole timeline didn't happen. And then I shortened a name from the Warcraft lore. TADA
