mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[angels_gal 204]

I always use the same name in every forum i'm a part of.  I first thought if it way back when I joined my very first community board and that was my senior year of high school.  It was a Buffy the Vampire Slayer board created by warner brothers.  I was looking for a board name  and at the time my favorite character was a vampire  by the name of "Angel"  and since i'm female I decided on Angel's Gal.  but I can't always use spaces and apostrophe's so for the times i can't it becomes "angels_gal"

[Coco Pommel 669]

I've heard this song a lot, but it took me until recently to realize that the title of the song as a username would be pretty neat, so I changed mine to what I have now.

 

The actual definition for zenith is "the point on the celestial sphere vertically above a given position or observer."

[mycarhasaMoustache 449]

I chose mine because my car actually dose have a moustache and when I was creating the account I needed a user name that was different to everything else I use so my posts here wouldn't show up in google searches.

[JeanHover 326]

My name is Joshua Verne, but I always shorten it to Jverne when picking a username. Since that's not the most common last name, many people I meet end up making some joke that I'm related to Jules Verne or something.

[Obsidian_Winter 1,158]

Because Its me....as a pony. If I was in the series, this is what I would be called. Obsidian because its dark, yet beautiful and Winter because its cold, fierce and reminds me isolation, which is how I usually feel.

[Pripyat Pony 2,607]

Well, I've used the alias of "Pripyat Horse" on the internet for quite some time now. The reason being that one of my obsessions is Chernobyl and while reading an article on the subject, I found a beautiful photograph showing a wild horse standing in Pripyat. Of course, for a MLP forum, I felt it best to adapt this alias accordingly to "Pripyat Pony" as it fits better. XD

[crazitaco 594]

sooo... i was super into invader zim when i was in middle school (and i still love it ^^)

and so i named myself after a taco bell parody restaurant called the Krazy Taco. except the username krazytaco was taken on whatever website i was trying to get on, so i changed it to crazitaco. its just stuck with me ever since, i use it everywhere. i don't know what else i would call myself =/

Your avatar... is just totally awesome! Just thought I'd say that.

[crazitaco 594]

Your avatar... is just totally awesome! Just thought I'd say that.

yes, i thought it was fitting xD i wanted a pony avatar instead of my usual GIR one

[ShadowBeat 14]

Because its my pony's name i chose i love music (especially metal!!! ,,/ ) so i chose Shadow= Death/ metal/ awesome and beat= music... and BAM!! 

[Colt 555]

Well is not for this forums is like my “official” name kind of It has been my nick name since 10 years ago on high school and almost everyone I know calls me like that since I became a Brony turn into something totally fun as is extra related to MLP,

[kyoki wolfe 134]

I created myself as a pony...and this is simply what I thought would represent me most...   I'm goofy, colorful i geuss you could say, and I am a TOTAL PEGASISTER!  

[Methyl 0]

By my fondness of drugs, particularly the drug Methylphenidate, which, as most people know, is ritalin. And eventually I started using it all the time instead of for adhd so thats why my username is methyl

[Loriem 639]

I wanted a obviously anonymous name that was not "Anonymous", because that name has been overly abused on the internet.

 

otherwise, well, I have used this name all over already, why not continue?

[Starflower 323]

I wanted to go for a pony name, but i didn't want to use a pony name like fluttershy or rarity. At the same time i didn't want to sound nooby either. So i decided to use my OC name, Snapdragon and to be honest i was surprised that it wasn't taken! So i was quite lucky.

[Shiki 5,850]

I changed my username from Sugar Plum to Mei.

 

Misaki Mei, from the anime "Another" is often times misunderstood, throughout the series, but she never stands up to fix anyone's misconceptions of her. This has gotten her into sticky situations, yet, even though her entire life becomes threatened because of it, she still kept quiet. People mistake her for many things, usually negative, as she is quiet, withdrawn, and just gives off a strange and/or eerie presence. However, her true personality is nothing all too strange, at least, I believe. Mainly, she just doesn't speak up, in general, and that causes many chain reactions to go off. 

 

Though I do not exactly give off an "eerie" or "mysterious" aura (at least, I don't think I do), I am similar in regards to the lack of initiating conversation and correcting other peoples' misconceptions about myself, and because of this, I thought it was a mediocre leveled comparison of our two personalities, thus making for a good username. 

 

Also, three letter usernames ftw. 

[Princess_Molestia 1,460]

oh there's a ton of reasons, personal and political (and satirical) why I choose this indepth user name

goes back to 1992...

 

no really, because its funny!

[TheLegendOfPonies 4]

Because The Legend of Zelda is my favorite video game, and I love ponies! So i mixed the two into one user name... The Legend of Ponies!

[Aaramus 449]

Aramus is a Space Marine character from the Dawn of War 2 book. At the time I was really into my Warhammer 40k so I sort of took the name and changed it around. As my real name is Aaron, Aramus sounds to me like a Latin/Roman version of my name so I added the extra "a" to match my real name and it became Aaramus. 

 

I used to have StgBash as my old username which was a robot from a British TV show called Robot Wars which was the original show that Battlebots was based upon (I think). 

[Twiliscael 3,958]

Here I am, once again with a name change. This time it's Velvet Remedyiscael. Why, you ask?

Because I came across some Fallout Equestria fan art and decided that I felt like making Velvet Remedy my new avatar and changed my username along with it. Gotta keep the "iscael" in there, though.

 

I'll be changing back to Twiliscael. At some point.

[The Razor Wing 879]

I change my username every month. Each month i pick one of my OC's and use that name and pic. So far iv been three different ponies.

[Aww 6]

It is my IRC username, just easy to have one username for everything.

 

I picked Aww for my IRC nick because its short and cutee

[SørenWolf 227]

Well I kind of have 2 user names, The one here i picked out because I liked the name Soren, but that was already taken in Minecraft and because i didn't want to use any numbers with my name i decide to add on my favorite animal at the time, Wolf. I have kept it ever since. it is currently my name for League of Legends and Minecraft, as well as MLPForums. My second username is Systematix, though this is more of my dance stage name if you will. It was given to me in high school, in my class a group of people went around giving all the guys nicknames starting with the letter S. Mine was originally Spice (Because I am a ginger), later they decided to give me a second one because of my robotic dancing ability, thus they gave me System, I later altered it and it is what I use on Youtube for my videos (I still need to upload some more)

[Metatora 36]

I've been using Metatora since 2004/2005. I based it of my (at the time) favorite band's latest album (Meteora) and I've just used it out of habit since. Not of much of a story I know, but there is a funny thing side to it. It wasn't until years later that I found out that the name roughly translates to "beyond law" (Meta is Greek for beyond and Tora is Hebrew for law.)

[3005 330]

I was originally "tvguy347", having conceived the name when I was around 9 years old. Three years later, I'm 13 and too old for the name. Rather than come up with another stupid name, I chose the uninspired name of "iDylan." Yes, Dylan is my name.

 

On occasion, I'll use "CannabisLove" or some other Lady Gaga/The Office/Castle/Lost-inspired name.
