mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[Troblems 5,617]

@VG_Addict I merged your thread as there was already a mega thread for this topic.

[Totally Nyx 36,048]

I didn't.

But if I thought of this one I probably would've. It's cool and fits me well.

[RaraLover 10,414]

For me, it's easy: I LOVE RARA! 

[Windy Breeze 15,189]

Well, I don't like revealing my real name. It was also hard to give Windy Breeze a proper name when I first created her, I decided to come up with the current name cause of her mane and because she's a pegasus, and also because her name is inspired by High Winds and Misty Fly. I kinda become more obsessed with her than Stormlight and Crystal Wishes and her name sounds beautiful, so I decided to use her name as my username. 

But Windy Breeze is not made out of air, okay. She's raised by her adoptive mother, not born by the air.

Just because I love Applejack! That’s pretty much it.

[Pandora 38,052]

Because of my oc who is literally called this

[aoEAF2FBvC0MIo2Q 3,673]

This screen name actually predates MLP. It's just that I haven't used it for most of my time in the MLP fanbase. 

Originally, I made this screen name for a Metroid online community. If there was something that you often find in the Metroid games that really drew me in, it were the ruins of advanced and/or enlightened civilizations. It evoked the sense of wonder and mystery I felt as I took my time treading such environments, particularly in the Metroid Prime Trilogy. These ruins are all remnants of what were thriving societies that were tragically destroyed, whether by the arrogance of its former inhabitants or by a cosmic force they were not prepared to deal with.

At the time, I had a pretty morbid fascination with desolation... and I still do. I remember back in the MLP episode The Cutie Re-Mark Part 2 -- this part, specifically:

 

 

I get an odd sense of peace in these environments. I'm not entirely sure why. It is a morbid peace but still peace. Very often when I look inward, my imagination brings me back to deserts -- often the rocky ones and the sun beats down with a vengeance.

Oh and the profile pic? This is what it was originally: 

As you can see, my current profile pic is basically a remaster. My girlfriend drew that by the way because she's awesome X3
As for what it is, well, that's quite a complicated story but what I personally see in this picture is Ridley's corpse.

Lately it has taken something of a new meaning. I myself feel destroyed. This is what I've come back to. I used to think I went in a different direction since MLP came along but I found myself back to where I started.

[Splashee 28,564]

I am called Super because it keeps me invincible from the current outbreak of COVID-19. At least I am trying to show that I am being careful at all times.

[Mini 451]

i think i already said this before but it's a synonym for my last name

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I chose the name EpicEnergy because it sounds cool! 

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

I made TomDaBomb up a few years back in school whenever we did Kahoots. I wanted something similar to DanTheMan so I initially had TomDaMan which was horrendous and I don't know why I chose it.

So I thought about, 'What rhymes with my name and will be catchy?' and I finally decided on TomDaBomb which I go by on pretty much everything now. There ya go. 

[Midnight Creep Show 2,194]

Let’s just say she’s some one I care about and she been with me my entire life and no one knows her except me.

[Pastel Heart 6,466]

It's my ponysonas name sooo, yeah!

[HeavenSunset 1,867]

Because, Heaven and a Sunset Is HeavenSunset 

Spoiler

No reason, i was just looking for a name that would catch on

 

[Splashee 28,564]

I should have chosen a name less prone to spelling errors.

So many times I have corrected myself from saying Spalshee.

[Fritzy 1,691]

It’s a nickname I give the oc it’s named after, Odella Lark. 

[ExplosionMare 18,063]

Fun fact: My username is spaced (Explosion Mare) on only one website. I intended to have it this way on YouTube too but it didn’t allow spacing so I just kept it like that.

[Ixrec 86]

Whoops, should've said this over here:

On 7/6/2020 at 11:12 PM, Ixrec said:

I've been using "Ixrec" (= Eric + X) as my online alias ever since a Kingdom Hearts forum I was on did a "What's your Org XIII name?" thread.

I elevated it to my actual alias mainly because it was so short and unique. At the time, it got literally zero google hits, and even now most google hits have something to do with me (even if the ranking is a bit baffling).

[Vefka 1,499]

I actually have a different nickname outside of community because of privacy reasons. For the fandom I just took random Russian word определён (defined), spelled it with latin characters and got "Opredelen". But accidentally misspelled it and now I'm Ooredelen

[Savy 5,077]

I've gone through so many usernames, but this one is gonna stay I swear.

It's basically my ponysona, the hippogriff bab.

[netcat 25]

I usually just come up with usernames randomly for each website as my main nicknames are often already in use or are too short (alis, or kana). I came up with 01netcat because like a hour before registering I was playing with mitm between a http server and a client using netcat, using my own devices that is. There's no special meaning in it and it wasn't supposed to have one.

[TheNewBrony 69]

I chose the name TheNewBrony because when I joined MLP Forums I had only been a brony for about a week. I guess I didn't really think about what I should do when a lot of time had passed. Now TheNewBrony isn't the best name for me... 

[Technoblade 113]

because i am trash at coming up with usernames and i'm probably going to change it again in a month as i always do

[BlankFlank777 199]

It was the first thing that came to my mind. I didn't really think about it. The 777 is the number of letters in each of my names. And I don't have a cutie mark so it works.
