mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[Arcus (Silver Lining) Wind 983]

I ab-so-lutly LOVE storms! Every time there is one in my area I sit outside under my covered porch and just enjoy nature at its feircest.

The louder the better.

[Z.J.A. 136]

I actually don't remember why I chose this name. I think it just sounded cool or something. Of course, sounding cool is a viable option for any nick.

[Marceline 187]

I changed my name to Butt Stallion, because it's the name of the diamond pony from Borderlands 2. Even though Handsome Jack is a total jerk. Butt Stallion is just funny.

 

Aaaaand I like to call people butts.

[Shiki 5,855]

Kawaii.

 

I'm kind of assuming that everyone on this forum knows what the most commonly used Japanese word means, but just in case, it means "cute." I like cute things. Japanese cute things. It wasn't taken, so boom. New username.

 

Even though everyone misses my old one, "Sugar Plum" :/

[Dxthegod 251]

I chose mine because Doctor Who is awesome and I lack originality. I was going to make it The Doctor but apparently it was taken...

 

As for Dxthegod, I use that basically everywhere else because I can't think of anything better (It's based off Degeneration X)

[PrincessCadance 19]

I picked PrincessCadance because she is my favorite pony to Luna in the whole series. :3 I may have spelled her name wrong though, I wasn't so sure how to spell it. Is it Cadance or Cadence? o3o

[Dysphoria 13]

Well I am a pretty big Super Smash Bros. fan actually, the username being a similar abbreviation was just sort of a happy coincidence I guess.

 

I just have to ask whether you are at all involved in the competitive Smash Brothers community. I play Ganondorf (in Melee).

 

My username came from the song I was listening to at the time. which was this one:

 

I decided to change my username from previous boards I've been on because I just felt like a change. I do seem to have a habit of picking usernames that refuse to be abbreviated though.

Not really no, but I have played in small local Brawl tournaments in my city. I did pretty well actually, I'm not bad at the game at all.

[Chales 129]

My user name is just my real name Charles without the r. It started when I was setting up my psn account and decided to use my name as the account name. I didn't noticed I had forgotten the r until my friend told me, but by the time I found out I already had bought stuff with that account. I decided to keep it and I now like it. Also very rarely is the name Chales taken.

[Crutch 898]

Well, I love theme parks and roller coasters...and my last name is Crutchfield. So then Voilà! CoasterCrutchfield

 

I also go by CoasterCrutch sometimes...and once and a while I go by Amasterpie *very rarely though*

 

[Jaded Avaricious 36]

Well I am a baker so most of the time I am quite Jaded. A charger is a medievil warhorse that gets run into the ground kind of like me and my job. being a baker is not all smiles and sweets like Pinkie Pie makes it seem (she's a pastry chef anyway). sometimes I'm up at 2am, 6am, 9am and it changes from day to day, week to week. I'm bucked when I have a 2am then a 9am and then a 2am following it gives me very little time to do anything let alone sleep. The are a few perks though like more time to do things after a 2am shift (I finnish at 9:30 when everypony is waking up) when I don't have work til 2am the next day. I don't have to go to bed until at least 4:30pm. thats heaps of time to myself.

 

The downside is there is no time to find a mare that gets me I recently just loft my mare and it still hurts but now things will get harder as there is no time to search for one. I'm too tired to go out but lonly so I stay on my computer talking on forums.

 

This is why i am known as Jaded Charger

[Princess_Molestia 1,460]

Why me?

Oh that is a great tale...basically I like having minions do as I say, complement how I look and generally be subservent to my every whim

[ShikaTheSingingPony 20]

Well, my ponysona and my OC's name is Shikari, shortened to Shika. I'm a vocalist by trade in real life, and that is also my OC's special talent. Therefore, she is a singing pony. Naturally, ShikaTheSingingPony was an easy choice. Plus, that's what's on my Twitter, Tumblr, and Youtube channel.

[Strider Hiryu 116]

Well, my story is weird as ever, but it all started with pokemon. One day, I bought pokemon ruby. It was my first pokemon game. I wanted a name that was easy to remember, wasn't my name, but was a real name; Max. I kept that name for a while, until I started to play more multiplayer games. People thought I was a bot, so no one ever paid any mind, so I stared at my name searching for inspiration. Then it hit me. I wanted to be a rock star in my youth, and I knew that in order to be successful in the world of music, you have to get gigs. So I was gigman. The problem was that I tapped i twice, turning my name into giigman. The name giigman, (or just giig to the people I play with) stuck, so that was going to be my username for everything, because it was always never used and I remembered it. THEN I CAME HERE AND UMVC3 AND STRIDEW AND *Cough* that's how I became who I am today.

[SweetJeans88 408]

My original username was littlegenius13. i still use it for most everything. In 8th grade my algebra class took an IQ test for giggles. i missed genius level by ten points. Thus: i was a little bit below genius.. and i was 13 at the time. it rolled off the tongue nicely to me so ive kept it despite growing out of it and still being mistaken for a thirteen year old.

 

SweetJeans is fairly new. My beau has half a dozen pet names for me, and this is my favorite. the others are along the lines of Dink, Bumpkin Pumpkin, tree-pig (inside joke), and Grump-Stump. you can see why sweet jeans is my favorite haha. oh and 88 is my birth year.

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,353]

Well, when I got into the fandom,about a year ago, my goal was to get back to writing stuff (so far I managed 2 very short stories, go me), so Icalled myself "The Bard". Silverwisp came from a naming chart, I found somewhere on this site, that uses the first letters of first- and last name (S and W in my case).

[PonyKorra 35]

Mostly because I wanted to combined my two favorite shows: The Legend of Korra and My Little Pony. On the other forums I had Beautiful Creatures as my username,since that's my favorite book, but it got annoying to have to type that every time.

[Vy'drach 133]

It's been my universal online identity since Aliens vs. Predator 2, where I joined one of the more elite Predator clans, and part of joining it is you get a Yautja name, based on what is known of their language. I surprised the clan master by knowing what name I wanted, which was this one, which is the Yautja word for "Phoenix." But it's not some mythical bird that is reborn from its own ashes such as Philomena, but instead a dangerous desert-dwelling creature that lives in the deserts of the Yautja homeworld, and a prospective Spearmaster must journey into the deserts with heat so intense it can blister even the Yautja hide, and slay one with only a spear. Then they have earned the right to join the Spearmaster order, who take combat with their weapons to an art form, and they have armour fashioned from the hide of the Vy'drach, which is not only immune to fire, but actually able to replenish their energy from it, and it is also near immune to plasma. This coupled with their unmatched melee combat skills makes them well respected by other Yautja, and why they often become arbiters, who hunt down "bad blood" Yautja, which is to say Yautja that have dishonored themselves and run from the consequences, and are then hunted down. They are very feared by "bad bloods," as Yautja ranged weaponry is practically useless against them, leaving the combat largely to melee, which as previously stated, Spearmasters are practically unparalled in.

 

My weapon of choice in Aliens vs. Predator 2 was the spear, and so I took that name to coincide with it as it is relevant to the Spearmasters.

[ChuniaC 52]

My username is kind of a long story. When i was a little kid i had the username ogge100. Then after a while i thought it looked ridiculus so i wanted a change, and i thought to myself. "I want a cool, short, snappy user/internet name with no numbers." I combined several translations from different languages of different words and from japanese i got Chu, from latin i got Ni and from swedish and other i got aC making ChuniaC. (witch is by the way pronounced shoe-nee-akk.) And i think it's a great username

[Gestalt 17]

It's a starfox reference...Wolf O' Donnell leader of team StarWolf. He's more of an anti-hero than an all out villian. But overall i tend to favor the darker characters in stories. Ya know, something that portrays that lire ain't all sunshine and rainbows.

 

Don't get me wrong just because its the antagonist doesn't mean instantly i like the character. There are plenty of fail villains.

 

Also my current avatar is Aku from "Samuri Jack."

 

Quite the swagger if i do say so myself.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

My favorite characters from the show were Octavia and Vinyl Scratch. I really liked the combined names into "Octavinyl", but I switched to Cherry Blossom, because cherry blossom trees are just beautiful. Then I change back to Octavinyl, because it seemed like a pretty unique username to go with.

[Thundershock 310]

my favorite character in the whole show is rainbowdash, and i kindve combined rainbowdash and sonic rainboom to make rainbowboom. It just sounded really cool, so i went with it

[King Tryndamere 100]

This is my real name, and I already use my real name for Facebook, and I guess since I got here from Facebook, it suggested my Facebook name, so I figured "what the heck?" and went with it.

[Unified Draft 130]

Well it all started back in late June before i joined the forums. I started out on Equestria Daily as Brohoof213 I think then I got xbox live and started playing a lot of Halo so i had the number 117 in my head, so that night i started going by Brohoof117. A few months later i joined the forums as Brohoof117

[Ivory Moth 19]

The only backstory I have for my name is why I named myOC Ivory Moth. About 3 years ago, I started calling my self Moth. Don't ask why, I literally have NO idea. So I just thought "Huh, I guess I'll name him Ivory Moth."

And that's how my username was made!!
