mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[El Duderino 877]

My username is a reference to The Big Lebowski, which is one of my favorite movies. 

 

It's from this scene:

 

Not only do I love that movie, but there is a background Pony based off The Dude, so it's a pony name too.

 

 

I used that character as my avatar before I made an OC.

Quartz Aegis was fun while it lasted, but I got bored of it. Lady Kiriness is my new artist alias, so I'm sticking to that now.

 

Originally, it was "Kiriness", as I love the mythological Kirin, and am a female, so I thought it was a good name. Unfortunately, someone on Twitter already had that name, so I just tacked on "Lady" and it stuck!

[NightmareLuna800 1,383]

I chose my username because, for one, I am a big fan of Luna. Two, because I like nightmare ponies. And three, because I like nightmarish Luna's. XD

[Chrylestia600 1,307]

I chose mine because it's a cross between Celestia and Chrysalis, who are two of my absolute favorite characters in MLP. The numbers are just kinda random, haha.

[PinkiePie97 910]

Laziness. When I was setting up my IntenseDebate account (which was the first site I used this name on), I didn't feel much like thinking, so I just went with my favorite pony and year of birth. Since then, I've used it for everything, except for DeviantArt and Tumblr, where it was taken by people that never actually used it. There have been times when I thought about changing it, but people recognize this one, so I won't do that.

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,621]

7's my favorite number. Blue is my favorite color. Plus, it's take on my former name. "Evans Blue"

[stripper 251]

Stupid attention bait to see how people respond

[Peppermint Larry 202]

Pepper Mint is my ponysona.

 

Also, I love peppermint candies. Like, a lot.

 

[Asterous 14]

If anyone has ever watched Young Justice, they'll know that Robin (Dick Grayson) tends to "butcher" the English language to make his own words. "Feeling the aster" being one of those phrases I choose the word Asterous because he's my favourite character as well as that being my name across various forums. 

[Cybercowboy 7]

I've used this username since I was like 14. Not really sure when I came up with it, but it's stuck with me!

[Honey Milk 13]

Mostly because its cute.

[FunsterTimister 10]

I got my name because of friends at Middle School calling me that and I liked the name. They called me "Funster" but then I wondered what "Time" would sound afterwards. I thought of "Mister" for Funster and then put FunsterTimister for that!

[Guest]

My name's Niko, but it's usually too short for usernames in most games/sites/etc. So I spell it "Neeko", it's a bit more original and avoids most of the "too few characters in your username" problems.

I'm actually really bad at creating nicknames though.. That's why I use my irl name as my username lol, I could never think of a good one even though choosing the nickname was my favorite part of creating a character or an account. 

[Flutterstep 39,669]

I'm terrible at thinking of any good and original names so I just made and random one and rolled with it ;P

[Inkie Winecrest 35]

While not all that magical, I came up with this name for a role play site four years ago. I created the rabbit character, gave him as much of a detailed background/story as possible and build a personally as well as personal touches that made him my own. I just loved the name so much I kept it, with the last name being the main piece as it relates to the characters family line.

[Comix Strike 38]

Comix Strike is the name of an OC I'd forgotten about until a little while ago. I thought it sounded okay, so I used it as my username. 

[twiia 1,842]

Queen Twii, because Queen Kiara and Twilight Sparkle

[Tao 6,115]

It was the name of thought of for a oc but also I was reading the Tao in study at the same time!

[Kiri 7,273]

I wanted to go by the name most call me. It's a lot simpler than Lady Kiriness!

[Ruudo Burei 42]

It's my YouTube name and pun, kind of.
 
ルード = Ruudo -> Rude
武礼 (ぶれい) = Burei -> Manly Courtesy -> homophone 無礼 (ぶれい) = Burei -> Rude

Also, I like being somewhat ironic. XD

[Foxy Socks 2,593]

I already answered, but there is a bit more. I have had quite a few usernames on sites (no I will not say all of them); Namae was just one of the ones I chose then for sites.

 

Again all it is is the Japanese word for name, which coincidentally is not a loan word, so it doesn't seem to be intended to sound like name.

 

That and another name, which is Cecil (I don't care about saying this), are my two universal usernames. They both derive from me playing the Final Fantasy series, though Namae was never an official character name.

 

It started the first one where you had to choose character names in one of my playthroughs. I named my characters silly and not super serious names, and "Name" was one of them. I chose it simply because I was being silly. Notice though, it was not "Namae." The original only allowed four characters, and "Namae" is five. It actually changed to Namae in I believe the sixth game (or three here), where I named Terra/Tina "Namae." I wanted to be a bit more creative, and it actually sounded nice for her, so I chose it.

 

For Cecil (though I think I only use it for one or two things), in case you see me use that name, is not actually my name, or anything close. It was from the fourth game, FF4 (or 2 here), where the main character is named "Cecil." (Ses-uhl) For some reason I really liked that name, and use it sometimes, or other variants like Cecilia.

 

Forgive me if I made spelling errors, I am too lazy to proofread right noe.

[BrawnyCharger 510]

I used one of those pony name generator websites and I typed in my full name and selected my gender and which pony species I wanted. Brawny Charger is my earth pony name. My pegasus name would have been Windy Flare and my unicorn name would have been Handsome Charmer. 

 

That's how I got my username.

[Bob the Changeling 47]

I simply LOVE the name bob, I could say it all day! Anything that I name.. I choose Bob!! And Changelings (At least in my opinion) are the best species in the show, and best overall :3... soooo! Bob the Changeling!!

 

 

Whoever is reading this.... Have a nice day!!! :3

[Zachary 5,516]

Because I can't use my Last Name and 2K17 on my Username so I thought, Why Not and I changed my name into what People call me and It's Stuck!

[Baykush 327]

It's simply the name of a cat I had. Actually, her name was Milka but I liked calling her Milky Way.
