mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,411]

Because Stone Cold said so.

[碇 シンジン 27,427]

because she is kinda cute

[Wolf General Alpha 636]

I chose "Wolf General Alpha" as a random replacement for my original username here on the forums. The name itself doesn't really have any meaning behind it. I was originally going by "SpiritualGuy99" or something along the lines of that anyway, but I grew to hate it and changed it to what it is now...though I did eventually shorten it to "W.G.A.", but I felt that I was more known back then as "Wolf General Alpha", so I changed it back.

[Flutterstep 46,434]

Because I couldn't think of anything better. 

[Sliding Bolt 4,358]

It’s referencing the sliding bolt of a rifle.  

[JackoTheDragon 28]

I first came up with my name when my best friend made a OC for me! but since we never met again i just use this username for when i need to remember her...

[SDP40F amtrak 2,442]

Because I am a fan of elements of Insanity

[Earl Grey Ghost 444]

Memento Mori is the name of my Pony character and roughly translated from latin it means "remember that you will die." and gives homage to the fact that I'm a Mortician.

[Flutterbandicoot 12]

Well I love fluttershy and I love crashbandicoot

[Lunar Glow 674]

Lunar Glow is my OC's name! She loves the night and writes music under the glow of the moon. 

[Megas 27,069]

I was marathoning Recess a while ago and thought it sounded like a funny username

[King of Canterlot 9,588]

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" 

[Luna's Admirer 944]

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

[Kevin Tang 2,422]

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

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 11,690]

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

[Twilight Luna 30,942]

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 27,427]

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 1,281]

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 21,530]

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