mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[MasterCombine 316]

Not a very interesting story behind mine. I've been using the name MasterCombine or variations of it for the past several years (Probably since the mid-2000s).

 

I believe one day I was playing Counter Strike Source or one of the other Valve games, back before Steam Community was a thing, and I wanted to choose a player name (So I didn't just keep appearing in-game as "Player"). I was in love with Half Life 2 at the time, hence the "Combine" part, and for some reason I was thinking of Halo's Master Chief (Despite not being a particularly huge fan of the series, I had still enjoyed the first two games), so my username became MasterCombine. That's pretty much the whole story

[Ezio Auditore 701]

Ezio Auditore is my favorite video game character ^.^

[Nas 2,862]

My very first overall screenname was EAFan160. It was kinda rushed, and I was a fan of EA (among other things ad naseum). Secondly, NASCARFAN160, well, same thing.

 

It all started when I was just introduced to the internet in the summer of 2009.....it started with my e-mail, and then it spread to my user names on my game systems, etc... Then one eventually, I think one of them was too short for that, so I extended it to NASCARFAN160. Since then, I've been alternating between the two for numerous purposes, NASCARFAN being more used for me then EAFan.

 

I never really had an opportunity to change my screen name until I came here, and I realized how cool it would be to have some sort of name change. Well, one day I was foolish enough to bring up the fact that I might change my user name soon, but apparently I got numerous requests to change it immediately, and so I decided "What the heck, why not?" So, in under 5 minutes, I went to the editing profile area where I had those three words rush to my head, and boom, they appeared in my keyboard and now that is my new nickname. Plus, I thought NASCARFAN160 wasn't "creative" or "too generic". Though, it's my traditional username, along with EAFan, so I think ORG is just temporary for now.

[Ron Jeremy 2,032]

King K. Rool's a name I'd used on the internet for years, the name taken from the classic Donkey Kong Country series' main villain.

 

I added the "oop" tidbit back in the days of MLPforums' chat, during a conversation about how at the time, all the mods' names ended with "oop". "King K. Roop" stuck with me and I liked it, so it stayed Roop. The fact I ended up becoming a chat mod not too long after that is just pure coincidence.

And that just about sums it up

[Parka Posy 16]

Tiz my ponysona name.

 

Parka is a nickname that my friends at school gave me.

And Posy- well, because it started with the letter P, as well.

[ErBoi 497]

An amalgam of sorts between my first and last names.

Erik

Boismier

[NavelColt 22,851]

I've always been a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, so out of curiosity one day I searched up super forms for ponies. Dashie's was awesome. That's about it xD

[Bugz 159]

I didn't want to use my common internet name when I firstly joined pony forums, in case someone recognized. I was still little unsure about me being brony.

 

So I made a shortened version of it.

[Taillesskangaru 7]

Taillesskangaru because... well, I was joining another forum wayyy back in 2005, and all the names I wanted were taken. I thought "Tailless Kangaroo" would be an appropriately haphazardly unique name so I went with that, but the forum had a 15 characters limit for usernames, so it became "taillesskangaru". You may call me TK.

[Jalaton 155]

I like when my usernames start with J. Then I used a variation of my hotmail username. I'm probably gonna change this sometime.

[Lostwanderer 366]

Been that for a while, and people say i never have any idea where i'm going and that i'm always wandering around places, i considered myself a wandering soul forever lost, thus Lostwanderer.

[Arylett Charnoa 4,916]

I chose this particular name at the moment because I had a random urge for Spanish and noticed that people seem to think that my OCs of myself (one in my avatar, named Artsy. And another one called Arl) look very Spanish.

 

It means "Miss Beauty Arylett"

 

(I already explain the Arylett part earlier in this thread.)

[Tuxedo Kamen! 114]

My name is pretty obivious here but, I had a few in other places. I use to rave heavily, and I got a few that I use from the circuit. My beaded creations earned me a few. Kandiboiraver1313 is a favorite from my past but eventually it turned to Kandikid, or Kandi. I also used JewlMaster and ponybeadArtEyeSand(That really seems like a lifetime ago now) but between my art and my rave past lies my names usually

[False Perception 482]

Frenzy=chaos

hero=saviour

 

I'm thine saviour to shephard ye from the valley of the bored and calm to the fiery pits of interesting.

 

It was also my gaming handle, and people picked it up due to the disturbance on chats and forums I would cause. Anyone ever on Kong? Go to NC, see what I'm talking about it they aren't being total pricks.

 

EDIT: I used to use winkdink12 as my gaming handle, and while it was an easy to use callsign (watch B wink) it was very unprofessional, and I took a lot of hate from other gamers. Frenzy is still easy to use, though.

It's easy to remember.

 

What can I say -- total bro, right here.

[dixiehellcat 8]

lol! I actually love sharing where my username came from. My cousins & I used to RPG a lot. One of them ran a campaign of World of Darkness, set in the WWE. Yep, vamp rasslers. (and weres and such) Really it was doubly funny because at that time there were some WWE performers who were WoD players themselves and whose ring personas came from it. Anyway, my character's ring name was the Dixie Hellcat. When I started posting online I used it and it stuck. I literally answer to Dixie a lot now if I get together with net buds.

[Mareinthemoon 348]

I decided on mareinthemoon because the legend was well done. the internal struggle of luna fighting nightmare was never fully expressed. I love a deep emotional termoil story and I went on to make one called dark side of the moon.

 

It also represents the duality..

'the princess of the night

the Queen of all fright

greeting you as one by the moonlight'

[StuffyCake123 25]

its my pony name

[PlsDeleteAccount 157]

At first I was gonna put 'Koach' as my username (my IRL nick, yet online alias for over 5 years). However, I went for 'Kochi' because of my current steam name:

 

|47th|Cpl.Kochi[LF].

 

I wear those tags with pride, and I would definitely wear them here if allowed.

[Evil Nightmares 552]

because im 77. and thats all you need to know.

[Zya 59]

I just kind of made my name up awhile ago, and I've stuck with it since

[Rudolphin 76]

My friends used to make fun of me for like dolphins, and my name is Rudolph so put them togather and you get Rudolphin. I like being simple (:

[OhMyGodPancakes 32]

I feel it rounds out my personality fairly well.

[Tenshinohana 264]

Well. The story of my username goes years back... When I was a little filoy, only 12....

 

*insert dreamy music and blurriness around edges*

 

I got to know the amazing world of the internet through my friend, and I was applying for a Naruto fansite. I was a total japangeek back then... Or at least wanted to, but my mom and dad didn't like it too much.

 

I had to think of an username and just tried different japanese-finnish-japanese dictionaries... And found the word "Hana" - flower. I felt girly and decided to use Hana, and so my first username was created: ^^Hana^^.

 

But after a few months the moderators decided that only characters in usernames should ony include letters and puncuation marks. And I didn't notice it until I changed my name as a joke.

 

I WAS DEVASTATED... HEART BROKEN! MY LIFE WAS...

 

So I had to think of another name. At the time I was fascinated with moons and angels (still am). So I secided that my username would be either Tsukinohana or Tenshinohana (Moon's flower or angel's flower).

 

*end of blurry edges and dreamy music*

 

And that is why I am an angel's flower.

 

 

No, I an not an angel's nose (for those who know a little about japanese language.)
