How in the world did you come up with THAT name!?

[StarFaerie]

About 20 years ago when I started on the internet my nick was Kaninchen (German for rabbit). One day while on Webchat, my then boyfriend, now my ex-husband, was complaining about silly American ditzy teenagers who really believed Australia was a backwards place with no cities and that we rode Kangaroos everywhere.

So I created FaerieStarlight to annoy him, as the most annoying, giggly, ditzy, shallow, vapid and stupid teenager who ever existed. This joke carried on for a while with various friends taking over the persona so it was harder to work out.

He finally worked it out, to much hilarity and then I realised I actually preferred the nick and basic person of FaerieStarlight. She was a lot more fun than Kaninchen, so I switched.

I cut it down to StarFaerie about 10 years ago when signing up for a site where the full name was too long and I've stuck with StarFaerie ever since.

[Rosette]

songtoisis is really Song to Isis.  I'm a witch and pagan and the Egyptian goddess, Isis, has been my matron goddess since I was 17.  (I'm 35 now).  I am always trying to live my life in service as a song (of devotion) to her.  It isn't a very 'pony' name, but I'm songtoisis all over the net.

[cuddlebuggy]

Cuddles and her buggy was one of the 13 ponies I got as a kid and I remember opening her on Christmas Morning! I'm cuddlebuggy everywhere now for the last 11 years, as I started collecting again when Hulalei was born. (Her nickname is Part Hula Hula and the last part of her name~ Lorelei.)

[Teddy]

Mine's after Teddy from MLP Tales. He was always my favorite character. I went online in like 1999 to try to identify some G1's I had gotten and found DreamValley's chatroom (back when there WAS a chatroom there), so I thought I'd sign in and see if anyone could help me. Teddy was the first name that came to me to use since it was a pony site, so from that day on I've always been "Teddy" online. ^-^

[elvenwine26]

Nerdy username from 1999.  Haha  My birthday is on the 26th of march.  IT works,  no one else seems to use it.  Funnily enough I don't even care about wine. :/  But I suppose elvengin would lack the proper flow at this point.

[Eldarwen]

I've used Eldarwen for years.. Its my character's name in World of Warcraft and other games aswell. I dont really remember how I came up with it, I just know I wanted it to start with E (like my real name) and it had to be fitting for a Night Elf character, so.. That's how I started using this name. Even my boyfriend calls me "Elda" sometimes.

[spottedslug]

Well... I didn't name me SlimeBlubBlubBlub... you'd have to ask my namer, lol.

[Tenar]

Mine is from my favorite character in the Wizard of Earthsea series.  I always thought she was a strong character.

[rybett]

Is the sound a froggie makes. 

[Vintergatan]

While i was learning Swedish some years ago I bumped into the word "vintergatan". Now, i knew that it literally meant winter street, but from the context it was obvious that it actually meant something else, so I looked it up and found that it means Milky Way. I thought that was so pretty ^^ I like the meaning "winter street" so much more than "milky way" so eventually I just started using it when all my previous nicknames were taken.
So my name basically reflects my love for Sweden and Swedish, for pretty words, for winter and for space

[Sunshine]

I can't describe the true meaning behind my name, but my real life friends from college know exactly why I'm "sunny" - but, it's developed into more of a... I dunno... I'm a fan of the one word names, wanted something that no pony was called in the G1 gen... and it all worked out to be "Sunshine"

[kaninchen]

About 20 years ago when I started on the internet my nick was Kaninchen (German for rabbit).

and now it's mine 

it does mean rabbit. it's my husbands nickname for me. d'aww.

[sweetlittlejenny]

After my husband and I got married I needed an email address and was clueless on what it should be. So he came up with sweetlittlejenny and its stuck since for various nicknames on the net. Including here!

[kellyponyfeathers]

Cute stories, everyone!  Mine is my real first name, of course, combined with "ponyfeathers" from the MLP pilot, aka Rescue at Midnight Castle, aka Firefly's Adventure.  It's a play on "horsefeathers," but it's been misused in G3 and G4 FiM episodes to mean "darn," which drives me nuts.  I don't mind using the initials kpf at all and often sign my pony emails with them.  A few times I've almost used them to sign documents; I have to remind myself now that my real initials are not kpf, ha ha!

[TwistedWindSox]

Twisted Windsox was the name of a racehorse that I was groom for while I worked for a racing stable at the local downs three years ago. He was the youngest horse I groomed for but he was a doll.
I just really liked how the name sounded, especially compared to the username I used on most sites before that (horse_ish lol). So I changed all my screen names to Twistedwindsox, or Twis for short. Twis is also the name of my fur- and pony-sonas.
