Curious: how did you choose your user name?

[VanillaBean]

Back in the day I had a strange obsession with flavour names like vanilla & cinnamon.  xD
I added the bean because it sounded cute. 
On pretty much all the forums I belong to, I'm named after some form of scent/flavour.

[Scraleos]

Scraleos is the name of a dragon character I created, and it's a totally unique name no one has come up with!

[Leigh_Lu]

Leigh_Lu.....the least creative name in the bunch Leigh is my middle name..the name I have went by since I was five, and my last name is Luna. So much for ingenuity.

[CadePony]

Good thread!

Where did I come up with my username CadePony? Well, originally I was going to use TC as my username, as it's my nickname from my online moniker of Trans-Crazy. But the username was too short. So... I took the name Cade, which is a nickname I give to my favorite Transformers character Barricade, and slapped Pony to it. So... that's how I came to be called CadePony on MLP Arena.

[Ginger]

Mine is my name in real life. I couldn't think of anything special so just typed it in. I was surprised it wasn't taken already lol!

[Flickerswift]

Flickerswift was a name I used on transformer forums, as it sounded transformerish and fit my personality (I am finicky and obsessive). When I got into FiM I realized it worked well as a pony name too. Yay for Hasbro's similar toy naming policy.

[ZennaBug]

@ZennaBug: That last drawing just melts my heart. I had a rat named Shiver and she was so affectionate.

Thanks, it's my favorite bookmark!  Funny enough, Zenna was a gigantic brat    She was terrified of me when I got her (she and her sister were rescues and very under-socialized) at about a year old.  Her sister (Cosette) was the sweet one, but died inside my hoodie a few weeks after bringing them home, she came to me with a horrible respiratory infection and there wasn't anything the vets could do.  Zenna became really mopey, so I brought home a little baby to keep her company.

The baby (Lani) really brought Zenna out of her shell and after 5 or 6 months, she'd hang out happily in the hood of my sweater.  She hated being held for the most part, but she loved hoodies!  It wasn't until she started having health problems at the age of 3 that she started to appreciate being pet.  The last 2 months of her life, she became very sweet and snuggly.  I always admired her spirit though, even when she was a brat.  Spunky little thing    Rescued from awful conditions, sister died, then she lived for 3 more years!

[TickledPink]

Mine was based on a comic I was going to do, but never got around to. Too Mary-Sue. lol.

[Uninu]

My nickname comes from two words, uni and inu. Uni means sleep in Finnish and Inu dog in Japanese.  When they are combined it turns into Uninu.

[Moonstorm]

Moonstorm was the first pony I created. I couldn't use Moensli because my boyfriend (at that time) couldn't know I was into ponies.
Moon= I'm almost every night awake, so every time I take a couple of minutes to stare at the moon and stars.
storm =I love to be outside in storm weather, it gives me some sort of freedom
and thats how equestria was made.

[NeonCrystal]

Well i love 'Neon' colours
My real name is 'Crystal'
And it's also my persona's name

[cobalte]

I had a husky character named Cobalt when I was around 13/14... used it as my username once, it just stuck as my preferred alias ever since (finally one I could settle on!). Cobalt as a username was often taken however, leading to variations like Cobalte. Really simple, just shoved the first letter of my first name on the end, and it's short for a previous variation (Cobaltié).

[KaibaGirl007]

Mine is the name I used to go by when playing in YuGiOh! trading card tournaments and groups. 'Kaiba' because he is my favourite YuGiOh character, 'Girl' because I am one (though older now) and the '007' is a James Bond reference my brother chose to add to it on one of my entry forms (I was mad at him at first but learnt to love it)

[01mlplover]

Before i knew there was a huge community of pony collectors i "thought" i was the number one pony lover. Turns out there are tons of people like me lol

[StoryDreamer]

I like to dream up stories.
