mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[Twilight_Scratch 13]

I wanted to show off my love for my two favorite ponies. I might change If I develop my own OC. I needed a brony username cause my normal one just isn't cutting to anymore.

[Feather Spiral 1,887]

I changed my name to Figurehead because she's the leader of my ELIT team.

Then I figured I might need a family name, and wanted one starting with 'U' so people would call me "F U". Since "Unts" or "Umbrella" wouldn't fit Figurehead's character, I picked Uprise.

[Thunderbolt 35]

Well my youtube name was allready Thunderbolt505T, So I figured for a pony name, Just drop the numbers and extra T and boom! Instant Pony name.

[Chaosmagic 12]

My online nick was always something with chaos and most ppl just called me chaos

and I ponyfied it kinda so chaosmagic ( which is also the name of my oc in my avatar )

[V1RUS_ 85]

Ever since I read the Warriors book series by Erin Hunter.

The iconic villain, Scourge (featured in book six) remind me of me.

Also 012 is my lucky number.

[pinkieplz 8]

i chose mine because i love Dolan comics but wanted something mlp related in my username lol

pinkieplz was also my skype name for a while

[Standard User 2,127]

Kolth is relatively unique - I have yet to find a website that already has a Kolth, so this username is always open for my own use. It comes from a heated afternoon of Star Wars tabletop RPG which featured thrown dice, zero-gravity, "Ice"-ing each other, and one very enraged GM.

 

Also, GrantBlayfur (my old forums name) was stale and takes too long to explain the meaning behind it.

[Koori 156]

I've tried to learn Japanese for a few years now by myself. The word "koori" means ice in Japanese language and it fits me, because of where I live and what I have to endure most of the time in year.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,785]

My username, is just one of 6 nicknames of mine. I chose it because it best relates to MLP. I earned it, because I'm fast, I am energetic, and brave.

[Dautt 76]

I thought of my username since I was in a hurry being that my dad was helping me purchase minecraft and there was this bowl of apples on the table so I somehow came up with Dr_appleman It's my favorite user name that I've come up with.

[FizzyImp 1,838]

My username is a mix of the name I chose for myself, and my last name.

So, Jay + Beetles. I just cropped my last name down to 3 letters so that it looks simpler and cleaner.

 

It also happens to be my initials read phonetically

[Zaquiop 7]

This is kind of a funny story for myself, because I personally came up with this username on the fly, and have been using it ever since. (about two years at this point.)

 

Anyways, I was over at a friends house, and I needed to come up with a name on the fly, so I just took the three letters on the eft of my keyboard going up, figured the U always came after Q, and went from U over to P on the top right corner of the keyboard.

[sleepyhead. 174]

I changed my name from Miss Sweetie Belle to sleepyhead. sleepyhead just seems more neutral. It's also the title of a song I like, that's not a very unique reason but heh.

[N8C8 56]

It was a randomly generated username I got a while back. I've used it for everything ever since. With the exception of Steam. Sometimes I add two X's at the end.

[Jsqrde 25]

When I was on a ski trip when I was about 12, I was in a group with about 5 other guys called Joe, and I got called Joe Squared. I then shortened this for my first World of Warcraft character, and it just sort of stuck.

[GuillermoGage 245]

I've been using GuillermoGage for mostly everything since early 2010. Most prominently on deviantART.

 

Guillermo is a name I used in high school Spanish classes (I still study and speak Spanish Estudio desde el año dos-mil cinco) and Gage is my mother's maiden name.

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

Named after my first pony OC.

 

I've always adored the Nightingale armor in Skyrim, I though it was completely badass. As for the Princess part of my name, while I was making Ebony for the first time on General Zoi's pony creator, (Made her with absolutely no thoughts of it beforehand. She was spur of the moment) I thought she could use more red to go with her eyes, so I gave her shoes and a necklace and a crown.

So there you go. Princess Nightingale.

[Zerul 554]

Odin force = Thor's magic

I am the elements of harmony

 

See what I did?

[Guest]

I've had many usernames in my day, some lame, some cool, and some just downright weird. I've recently fallen for gryphons, I think I'll be sticking with this one for a while now.

[Shanks 10,802]

On most places online I am known as BladeEdge86 or some other variation of that, and I don't even remember the origin of that name. But I do remember the origin of the name I chose to use here, this friend of mine told me about DeviantArt and was helping me set up an account and under username I was going to use BladeEdge86 because "why not I use that name for everything" but he said "nah you can do better than that" and typed in a name for me EarthBending~Prodigy I liked the name so I figured "sure why not". The name itself is a reference to Avatar the Last Airbender which this same friend introduced me to and he also introduced me to MLP and many other great things. I guess he figured that personality wise I am pretty close to an Earthbender.

[Twiliscael 3,958]

As for me, Toniscael has been my main username for anything since 2006 when I started playing Runescape. It's a mixture of Tony, Chris, and Michael where I'm Tony and the other 2 are my brothers. The "Twili" comes from Twilight Sparkle 'causeis I felt the need to ponify my name.

[Rockabilly Wingtips 57]

i chose it cause im a greaser and a brony. (makes sense if ya really think bout it). but yeah so i also chose it cause i just couldn't come up with a clever name.

[Twilight Circuits 603]

I chose my name because i felt that your pony name should be a reflection of love for whom you are. Twilight is my favorite pony, and Circuits cause i really love my computer. Because of that, I chose to have my cutie mark become a cpu that says "Pony Inside". I honestly really love my name. I was almost considering changing my legal name to it. Almost.

[suclearnub 25]

Here it goes:

nuclear submarine -> suclear nubmarine -> suclearnubmarine -> suclearnub

We used to switch the front letters around in school for the lolz... so I decided to do the same. It was awesome.
