mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

Let me set a scene for you:

 

"Hey, do you mind if I join this RP? My link is in my signature."

 

"Okay Master, I'll add you to the RP."

 

"Oh... I love it when you say my name."

 

And that is why I chose my user name.

I was kind of hoping you chose your name based on the villain from the Strain Trilogy. Not that I actually expected that to be the case, but one day I'll find more Strain fans and it will be glorious.

[Iron Wing 237]

Before i joined this forum with the intention of roleplaying, i thought of a character i would like to play. And because it is easy for me to remember my character name, i choose the same as my login/forum name.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

My current username means "Eternal Salvation". I suppose I picked it because it sounds prophetic, like all my previous names have. Other than that, I like the way it sounds in Latin.

[HungryTroll 137]

Troll, I'm Troll almos for 20 years already (So I'm, as Troll older, then Internet trolls).

I was called like that for first then WC2 came out, since I was tallest one in my company.

And hungry? Honestly, I wanted HoofedTroll, but I was too hungry at the moment of registration.

[SkyeRibbonPwny 406]

Its simply my OC's name. Skye is my real name, and my character wants to fly very badly, and she is a costume designer. SkyeRibbon <3

[-BleachedOne- 233]

I...often forget why I chose this username. Almost everyone knows me as either The Seraphic Phantom or Seraphim. I...think I brainstormed the name while I was picking out my main persona, a Haunter with mechanical augmentations and the abilities of Evangelion Unit 01 in Rebuild of Evangelion, hence the seraphic part. I honestly have no clue, it just kind of stuck. XD

[Plentyy 26]

Many many years ago, i used to be called "Grassgrow" on the internet, on Wow, steam, other games, etc..then i once bought Battlefield 3 and tried to name myself Grassgrow, but BOOM, it was taken...

 

So i thought and thought and thought, and after about an hour of random username generators, brainstorming and so on, i was like: "Damnit why cant i think of anything, there are plenty of good ones..wait..plenty...THATS IT! PLENTYY!"

 

So..yeah.

[Malakili 165]

Malakili is the name of the Rancor Keeper in Return of the Jedi, and it was all I could think of when registering on Star Wars forums and it just became my Internet name for a lot of things :

[Princes Cadance 345]

Ever since the Canterlot Wedding, I have been a huge fan of Cadance. I liked the way she was presented, her looks and everything about her, so it was kind of my dream come true (like ish) to snatch up the name.

[Pulcinella 1,016]

I love Pinkie Pie. I was very very hurt and dismayed that Pinkie Pie was already taken, so I did the next best thing. For some odd reason, I like underscores, dashes, capital letters, no spaces or number sequences in my username, so that's why I'm Party_Cannon. Actually, I had Party_Cannon as my username a looong time ago, back when I made my first signature ever. I was searching for a new username a little while back, and I decided that it would be nice, and would bring back a lot of memories if I used Party_Cannon again. Plus, I thought that Cannon made a nice nickname. One time, Arrow even called me Cannonball, which I found extremely cute. I once called myself The great and powerful Party_Cannon in a PM, so I decided to shorten it to TGAP Party_Cannon.

 

TL;DR version: I like the party cannons.

[Aeon Of Dreams 115]

My name essentially means "Dream Magic" (similar to how necromancy is used to describe magic relating to the dead), more specifically it is divination via dreams. I chose it because I am an avid lucid dreamer and happen to love dreaming in general. I also get euphoria from having dreams from time to time.

[Retil213 15]

Oh well i think the main reason i got to this name is MLP sounds strange cause what does it have to do with it ? ok i guess it was when i came to this whole pony frenchise and i read about a video named cupcakes...so i searched it on youtube and (sadly) found it... after i watched it and tried to get zhe pictures out of my head again ^^ i thought it was very hard what she did to RD and i started to think of multiple revenges in which pinkie gets what she deserved... death (in my opinion). anyway after that i found some pony models for the game garrys mod on the internet and decided to make the revenge true. as i was done with creating it i wanted to upload it but on another account cause i didnt want my friends to know that i work with ponymodels i knew how they think about it. I created a new account and thought of a name. I looked at a bottle of water beside me there was spelled the word "liter" (im german btw XD) i read it backwards and got "retil" added some random numbers and there we go. the video is named "Cupcakes the Revenge" btw for anyone who is interested XD

[Twinhead B 482]

Twinhead B. It's the name of an AI pilot in Armored Core 3. It sounded cool, so I've adopted as my own for the time being.

 

I use Viny1 Scratch however, for my XBL gamertag, and music production. Been that way since around the premier of season 2 if I can remember..wasn't as active in the fandom back then, though...

[ShyForever 284]

I chose my user name because I was inspired by . 

 

I love Fluttershy, and I always will, so I thought that ShyForever was an appropriate name for me.

[Quiles 77]

There was this little game I used to play when I was younger, Lord of the Rings, battle for middle earth two.

It was a simple RTS, but had a cool little feature where you could design your own hero unit.

I made an elf hero called, on a whim, Quiles. And the name stuck

[The Pony Alchemist 70]

The name I use for just about everything is BobsGuns*.  So i thought maybe i'd kinda make a joke on that name considering me becoming a brony and thus BronyBob was created.

 

*BobsGuns is a reference to Starcraft

[~Cider Barrel~ 125]

In the past i had the name Cider Barrel as my name on Runescape, having had a one of a kind username for so long I pretty much stuck with it for the past few years.

 

So instead of having a new name on the MLP community i decided on Cider Barrel.

 

Also means i don't have to get used to a new alias after so long, I'm just happy it was available.

[Telamon 6]

I found the name while reading through stuff on Greek mythology. Telamon was one of the Argonauts, the father of Ajax, and a friend of Hercules, so he's a pretty cool secondary character. And, I just liked how the name sounded.

 

(I'll admit, I haven't been active much since these forums began...now it's much larger than I remember, with tons of new names. It's a bit intimidating...  )

[Victor van Dort 202]

Username update: Scratch what I said before, wherever it is. I renamed it Victor van Dort after one of Tim Burton's greatest film characters.

[Megas 27,563]

Megas75

 

Obviously based off of my favorite Cartoon show(yes even more than FiM *shields*) and with 75, I just took two random numbers and ran with it

[Silverstream 51]

Silverstream is a pony OC

i made up and liked, which is also

my avi....

 

Also i felt like a change from

my other normally used names.

[A Tiny Equine 0]

I used to play a lot of Halo on my Xbox and when I was creating a name my friend thought of some jokes. One of these names was A Tiny Squirrel. This appeared in chat as A Tiny Squirrel killed x. This was rather funny. Then when I was looking for a name for brony sites I decided to change it a bit and made it A Tiny Equine, literally meaning a pony.

[Moog the Kvlt 1,460]

Well since I changed my name I guess I might as well share the origin of my name

It is a breath taking story where my name comes from....I don't think that you guys are ready for it

Nah....I might as well tell this beautiful story...okay so

My old name was Moog Voyager, and my favorite pony is Scootaloo

So I took the two and put them together to get ScootaMoog!!!!

Such an amazing story am I right?

[Vinyl Scratch (Filly)™ 936]

My name, well I started off here as 'Solar Ray' one of my OC names, then I wanted Vinyl Scratch (Filly)... Why? You may ask. Because the answer is simple... It's filly Vinyl Scratch. Need I say any more?

[Schism 26]

Because I'm a dumb pretentious asshole. My username is usually "Exiled Poetry," but that's even more dumb, so now I'm just Exile.

 

It used to be a band thing that I wanted to do, but decided that it was a bad idea and scrapped the whole thing.
