Curious: how did you choose your user name?
« on: January 17, 2012, 11:52:25 AM »
Mine is simply an "alternate" spelling of the sound a froggie makes.  I have collected frogs since before my Hurricane discovered Ponies.  (and really want a Royal Beauty in good condition.)  I got to wondering about other names.  Got my bowl of popcorn, let's hear some stories!!   :chat:
:socks:   :frog:

I love stories on how people got their names!
Mine is Monsterelli - Monster + Elli = Monster for Monster High and Elli because thats my name. :)
During the summer I got into Monster High dolls and needed to come up with a neat name for forums & to put a nametag on my photos. I ended up creating a Flicker & Tumblr under the same name and then I got back into MLP. In order not to confuse things anymore, I decided to use the same name here since all my photos of MLP & MH have the Monsterelli nametag.

It also ended up becoming an alter ego for me to use on Facebook so that I could join MLP & MH stuff on there and I needed a full name haha - so my alter ego is Mopsi Monsterelli. - Mopsi was the name of one of my characters on the mmo Vanguard.

I used to own a rat named Zenna.  Her nickname was "Bug" or Zenna Bug."  When I joined eBay, she was hanging out in the hood of my sweater, so I used her name as my screenname.  When I joined the Arena, I used the same name to avoid confusion.  And it stuck  :)

Zenna:

I was a member of the square dancing group in Whitehorse, YT. The name of the team was the Sourdough Stompers. I really don't know why I picked it, I just thought it sounded unique and very-Yukonish. :) I also miss square dancing, it's a lot of fun.

Long story, but it goes back to some interests of mine from back in 01, including music (I was apart of chior) and chao.  Bonus points to those that know what 'Chao' are ^^

Mine is really short: I was born in October and it's a month I really like, so I decided I would name myself "October" something. I thought of OctoberFall and OctoberCookie, then decided OctoberFlash sounded the best ^^

I used to ride a crotch rocket in a club full of Harley boys. They called me "The Rocketeer". :)

I have another online handle that I use a lot, but I didn't realize it had a very negative connotation attached to a vulgar TV show.

Mine is from a character I wrote short stories about as a kid. We kind of grew up together and evolved at the same directions and in the end she became an alterego which I thought suited on the web.

Pinkamena wasn't my original screen name - I had to change it due to psychotinternetstalker  :throw: . Pinkamena was the first name I thought of that hadn't already been taken!!!

I used to work with a guy who called me pop girl as a joke. I was really into current fashion and the latest trends so he said I was the embodiment of pop culture for that particular year (1996). He was also in a ska band and gave me gave me a signed CD - inside the cover he wrote "To pop-girl of '96"

When I signed up for the Arena I just happened to have the CD sitting on my desk and there you go. :P
