Why did you pick the username you have?

[JeremiS]

Title says all. Tell me/everyone the story of how you got your username!

I got JeremiS from when my brother got an xbox 360 and I made an account on it, xbox suggested this username, and as such, now it is my username (almost) everywhere.

[Supersaw Hoover]

[Motivfs]

Motivfs, Pretty simple, Motivation.

Just in my own little style. I used to call myself Mots, but then all I'd think about is tomato juice.

[LoreRD]

RD are the initials of my youtube channel. The rest SHALL REMAIN A SECRET!

[itroitnyah]

I just typed a random sequence of letters on my ipod at one time to come up with a username for an app, and it came out as "itroitnyah"

[Beetie Swelle]

Because Dainbow Rash doesn't sound as good.

[Kushy Kallous]

I thought it was funny. : D And awesomely cool. : )

[soup2504]

Back when I was... Hm... I think it was when I was around 12 years old, but I'm not sure. But anyways, I had an addiction to the word "Pie", but then it slowly turned into an addiction to the word "Soup" and I was saying soup for pretty much everything

I've used to call myself "Soup250" on many random websites I went to, but I remember when I went to make a new email account that somebody else had taken "Soup250" (WHY??), so I added a 4 to the end and just started going with that.

Soup2504.

[randomblockfilms]

when i wuz little boy, (8 th grade) i used to build and play with LEGO MINDSTORMS a lot. and in the programing software there was a thing called Random Block. what it would do is that it would randomly generate a number in which you could use it for your program. so i though that this random block represented me quite well so i named my youtube channel after that and added films to it.

[Sonarch]

Well, I normally default to Sodium Hydroxide (the periodic table symbols make it NaOH, which is as close as you can get to my name, Noah, using periodic table symbols) or RedGreene (my last name is Greene, so my math teacher always called me RedGreene) or some combination thereof. But I really wanted a cool sounding name to make music under, since a lot of other musicians had these awesome sounding names (like Makkon, Glaze, H8_Seed, etc...) but I didn't want it to have the word pony or brony in it, because that's kind of overdone, and I didn't want it to have the name of a pony because that's dona a lot too, so I opened up Word and started typing random junk, making word combinations that sounded cool, and I got Sonarch. And when I googled it, I found that there was some musician in like Australia or something with that name, but I figured it would be okay since I probably won't become some super well known musician and have that guy come and claim I stole his name, and I just really liked it and how I came up with it myself.

How's that for a lame story?

[XXDarkShadow79XX]

Cuz I'm a troll.

[Nine Volt]

I was playing a Wario game a while ago and one of the characters was named 9-Volt.
I'm considering a name change though.

[Queen Potato]

In my long, painful, and horribly embarrassing search for an identity I've had many usernames, but Queen Potato is a combination of the last one I had before leaving GaiaOnline (The_King_Potato) and my deviantArt one (MarvelousQueen). I have no clue where King Potato came from, but Marvelous Queen is the name of Nack the Weasel's hoverbike from Sonic the Hedgehog. Looka me, I'm a Sonic fan. So at some point I mashed those together and realized it was an apt description of my gay Irish-ness and came up with synonymous usernames -- @FlamingSpud; QueerRoot, which I haven't used; Glorious Gay Tuber.

My current pseudonym that I release music under is born out of the same search for identity; I used to despise my name and wanted to change it to Robert Raymond, and then Robin Raymond during the time when I wasn't comfortable with my gender. Eventually that passed, but the little nugget of "Robin stuck in the back of my head until one day, when I was brainstorming for a pseudonym, Robin came to mind. So I started stylizing it with the bracket and the Cyrillic character and called it good.

[Nonsense_Profile]

Because Nonsense.

And Ridium.... like irridium. I'm not sure.

[Freewave]

When music blogs started taking off in the late 2000's i began running a blog in 07 that highlighted these many blogs and also what genres they specialized in for easy searches. That blog was called thefreewave (named after the digital freeway) and i ran for quite a few years. I also got a youtube at that same time and of course you can't change your name with google easily afterwards so i eventually kept it as my musical alias once i started making pony music. It fits as i also believe in free music and freedom to do and make what you want.

[SpyPie]

Pinkie Spy is best Pinkie.

[colortwelve]

It's from The Venture Bros. Unfortunately, the clip is nowhere to be found on Youtube. Maybe if I can find it in my dad's stack of DVDs I'll sample it in a song. I dunno.

[SticktheFigure]

I just typed a random sequence of letters on my ipod at one time to come up with a username for an app, and it came out as "itroitnyah"

Oh damn. I thought your name was a butchered spelling of "It Right Now".

SticktheFigure came from a need for change. Back when I was eleven(?) I went on Neopets/Gaia as sora_1_2. Some point later, I started to dip my hands in Pivot, a stick figure animation program. I was certain I'd only ever upload those so I tried choosing some kind of related name. StickFigure was taken so SticktheFigure just kind of... happened.

Gee, that wasn't really as exciting as I thought I could make it sound.

Anyway, I've had the username for roughly six years now. It's my precious baby, and I try to always use it.

[Stu Beef]

It's funny

[Magnitude Zero]

Because my music is so chill it doesn't shake the earth.

(Also a reasonably bright star)

Came up with this name after weeks of trying to think of one. I think this one popped into my head while I was sleeping which, come to think of it, is kinda fitting. I'm not too thrilled about it but eh, doesn't matter a whole lot.

[NightmareSnake]

I came up with NightmareSnake when I was like 11 because I wanted a name that "sounded cool" for the internet.

It stuck and it's been with me since.

[Penumbrah]

As we've all learned in science class, a penumbra (from the Latin paene "almost, nearly" and umbra "shadow") is where only a part of a light source is obscured. During an eclipse, if one was standing in the penumbra, they would be experiencing a partial eclipse. It's neither fully darkened, nor lightened. I apply this to me personally since I have two distinct styles I really enjoy; really happy melodies and songs and aggressive or sad songs at times. The 'H' is just there to make it a little unique.

[ChromaticChaosPony]

[ghelded_kultz]

It's a secret. The only hints our 1) We are named after a band that inspires us and the Universe and 2) Our location.

[CommandSpry]

An anagram of my original alias, SMRDcompany, which takes the initials of me and my brothers' names to form SMRD : )
