I stole my name from an apple flavored Mexican soda because I needed to come up with a unique name for my Fimfiction account.

A shortened version of a nickname given to me by my grandmother. I also used the name for a character I created (who is semi-autobiographical). :)

Well, I was in a 20th century class when I started to gain an interest in MLP, and then my friends and I started to put pictures of totalitarian leaders as ponies into our study guide. We came up with names for them all, and my name was born.

Well I have many usernames and I wanted a new one to use here. I decided to go with a name I intended to give my OC.. well untill I googled it and saw it was being used. But yeah lets not go into that. Still I liked the name and decided if it wasn't being used already as a username I'd use it. So not a very exciting story.

Harold Genhi is my pen name and artist name so that people can't find out my real name (It isn't hard to be honest to find it somewhere... I used to be pretty open about it, but I've been separating the two more heavily and switching a lot around to make sure that I and Harold are between a wall. So tracing its origins back.

 

It is my username here but is from my artist name which is from my pen name, which is from my username from another website, which is from my username from another forum, which is from my Skyrim character name, which is from my Oblivion character name, which is from Star Wars Battlefront II character name, which is from my Runescape days, which leads to the first time I made the name. It was my first name I used for a character in Halo 2. My brother had Delta960 so I wanted a name that didn't have numbers in it and looked like a name because whatever.

 

So of being of Norwegian descent, I had heard a few things from my dad who was Norwegian (he lived there, I was born in the US and lived here my entire life, but I still knew more about Norway than the common bear). So I had heard of the king of Norway, Harald V of Norway. Of course, I heard it said as Harold. And there we have the origin of the first part, but for it to be a username anywhere, it would have to use numbers so I had to be crafty with the second half. (As crafty as a young boy could be at that age). It was to be my character that I used for everything. It was to be a genesis and new. So the plain and simple Genhi is just me jamming Genesis and Hi (greeting) together to create Genhi.

 

And that is how Harold Genhi was born.

A while back, I saw the comments on this status update, and since I had time to spare, I thought I'd play along and change my username for a while. Now, though, I may keep it for good... it looks better and somewhat more catchy than my previous usernames, to me, and I guess when someone who makes a topic or update sees I reply to it, it may brighten up their day somehow, to know that Senpai has noticed them. x3

My normal non-pony username is InfectedCoyote which I actually got from a random username generator because I'm lazy. I then just change Coyote to Pone for my pony stuff.

All of the other avatars I've ever used were car-related because those are the other type of site. I frequent. well, I knew none of my old usernames would cut it on here, and wasn't sure what to use. So I thought- what has your pony experience been like? Well, it was like my mind was under siege by ponies, who are trying to take it over (I'm exaggerating there, BTW). Then, I found a way to make it a Star Wars pun, and knew from that point on I was destined to be Attack of the Pwns.

I used to be known as DiamondHeart, which is my OC's name (pony OC, that is). Ah.. man.. I did a lot of ignorant stuff when I was a few years younger, so I didn't play Steam in a long time and I started fresh. Nonbinaryduck is a username which I made b/c well, I identify as a nonbinary person and I'm obsessed with ducks!

 

Honestly though? I want to go back to DiamondHeart. In fact, I think I may. Diamondheart suits me so well, and I love my pony OC with all of my heart. I have BPD, and this is one of the names which I can actually identify myself with and be proud to say, with extreme confidence, that I am Diamondheart. Hah, sorry if this sounds cheesy.. it's just.. I miss being D-Heart (that was my nickname xD) and I grew so accustomed to it I can't shake it off. 

 

tl;dr: I'm nonbinaryduck well, because I identify as a nonbinary person and I'm obsessed with ducks, I may change my name back to my old user, which is Diamondheart out of nostalgia and personality disorder reasons.

Because touhou is love touhou is life. Really though I just changed mine from Suwako to my current mostly because of the touhou 15 hype lol

I like my name because it incorporates my name with the nerdiest character in MLP, twilight, and the two rhyme. Fits quite nicely. I identify the most with Twilight even though she isn't my favorite pony.

I used to have another name that I used everywhere for years, but I don't really identify with the things that younger me has said or done under that name anymore. I wanted to come up with a new username, but it was kinda hard. But I had this silly idea. Apples are one of my favourite foods and the golden delicious variety is imo the best one. So I played with the name for a bit, and that's how GoldenYum was born.  :icwudt:

Hahahahahaah. I'm too awesome to explain why my username is what it is!

 

Seriously though, it was the first thing that came to my mind when I was making a username here on this forum.
