mega thread Why you chose your user name.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,342]

My username was Wolfie's idea. Now we have matching usernames for Christmas

[Cirrus. 1,089]

I've always liked the word Cirrus for some reason. I also recently remembered that another name for cirrus clouds is "Mares' Tails." I figured that it would be a good name to use here.

 

 

Also have a picture of some Cirrus clouds that are 20% cooler.

(Yes it is real)

[Shadow Beam 1,179]

This is the name I always imagined my OC with

[zombienixon 330]

I can't recall exactly where it came from, but at one point I made a joke about wanting to vote for Richard Nixon if they brought him back from the dead.  Then I made it into a username.

[MechanicalDoom 300]

My first username that I used was from an MMO called Free Realms. My character name was Dylan Moondart. On forums for Free Realms, my screen name was Dylan Moondart. I soon changed my character name to Mastër Chief. I went by Chief on FR related stuff for a while before leaving the community altogether. My current username came from Minecraft. I needed a good name, and Mechanical came into my mind. It was taken, so I tried MechanicalDoom. I just thought it sounded cool. There isn't any sort of deep meaning behind it.

[StarDustPony 14]

Mine is just the name of my main pony character. StarDust~ and she's a pony, so StarDustPony. c: 

[lomk 20,663]

I started out as ThatOneBrony. It was highly uncreative and it really was the first thing my head farted out. 

 

I was shy during my time as ThatOneBrony. I didn't get around here much and I'd be inactive for months at a time. Back then, there wasn't much content on here and I just wasn't confident in posting on here. Fast forward about a year or so and I'm still a brony. Only by this point, I've moved away from my parents' house where they couldn't monitor me. I got more active on here. 

 

I had run into a video on YouTube called "Moonstuck." The premise is basically Woona's adventures on the moon during her time there, but in a cute manner. 

 

 

It led me back to a popular comic on Tumblr called Science Woona

 

 

I really wanted to call myself Science Woona, but I figured I wouldn't use that name for two reasons

• I didn't create the comic; thus I didn't want to actually be associated with it, thus taking credit for something I didn't do and
• I mean...come on...I was more creative than that...

So I went about thinking of the things I liked before I changed my name. I came home one night and saw the stars. I can almost always point out Orion in the night sky...and I like to stargaze. I've always had a passion for space so I chose the name Space Woona. 

 

I like Space

 

I like Woona 

 

It makes sense. 

 

The Duke part comes from a thing going on in Count to a Million where we're all taking on titles reflecting royalty or leadership positions

[Eternal Night 61]

I've had my username for as long as I can remember. I got it from an old poem about death from some guy I read during English class. Its not only original sounding to most but it also doubles as a pony reference, so I kinda lucked out.

[PSP (Dizzy) 201]

Back on Ponychan in 2011, I first posted on my PlaystationPortable. The (Dizzy) is just because my OC is named Dizzy.

[Azatrot 66]

My user name is a combination of Azathoth (a god-like being from the writings of H.P. Lovecraft) and "trot" (the type of horse gait). I haven't actually read any Lovecraft (but I do know some of the beings (like Azathoth) from the Cthulhu-mythos), but I did need a user name, and considering how things are named in MLP (Canterlot, Manehattan etc) I thought it would be a rather fitting name, even if I'm not actually a blind idiot.

[Antidaeophobia 299]

Based  on the Farside cartoon Anatidaeophobia: fear that someplace, somehow a duck is watching you. It's my favorite comic, but when I went to use it on the website I was on, I accidentally, in my anxious 13yr old haste to get signed in, misspelled it LOL. I've used the name on everything for the past 12yrs. 

 

[Iiznocannon45 46]

I just used mine for almost everything, and since i'm am not canon, I just went with it. 

[kuma9k 56]

Originally the username I used for everything was angus9000, which I first used for my original PSN account. Angus is the name of my (very adorable) pet dog, and the 9000 part just sorta popped into my head, and so I was angus9000 for years; long before FiM even existed. A couple months back, I decided to make a new PSN account, for reasons. I went with kuma9k because 'kuma' is the japanese word meaning 'bear' and I think it sounds cool, and 9k is just 9000 shortened. And so kuma9k is  what I've used for everything since then.

[ThunderSaddle 56]

I wanted to use a specific username for this community, so I used some pony name generator and clicked until something fine came up.

[Haruhi-chan 486]

Because I'm an AdorbzFangirl. No, really though... it started out as just being my twitter handle. I became rather attached to it, and I decided to use it on places where I had the ability to change my name. Thus, AdorbzFangirl was born. \o/

[President Of Space 45]

Because the ruler of space need an official title!

[Torrez 36]

I choosed this username cause I love Gothic series!

[Christmasy Britty 2,553]

hmm good question i chose this new username i guess because right now i'm going through a downton abbey phase and the lady grantham looks like such a duchess to me XD

[Odyssey 5,716]

Odyssey is one of my favourite words. It has this vibe of both grandness and journey, similar to the epic poem Homer's Odyssey. It's also a word that I would compare to my own life. I've been through plenty of trial-and-errors, but in the end I would never give up on life.

[Skye 463]

I just really like the name Mavis.

I think it's pretty and unique. So, I go by it!

[Screw Loose 156]

I like vultures.

Underrated bird imo.

[EddG 554]

Because my first name is Edd (Well actually it's Edward)

and my Surname is Grantham

So EddG

[Rainbow Dash1 92]

I think I might have already posted in this thread. But I chose Rainbow Dash because Rainbow Dash is a cool pony. Though, I'm not really into MLP anymore. Well, I just kinda don't care at all right now since there hasn't been new episodes for a while.

[RainbowTashie 378]

because OC names are less common than canon names

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

My username is my signature username for most things, but It started out like this:

When I first really got into gaming, I wanted a username describing something I liked, and something memorable and alliterate.

I took Pikachu and Sonic and then, punch because why not?

And thus, Punicpunch was created.

Class dismissed
