When I registered on e621, I was going to call myself "Dunkelzahn" ("dark tooth" in German, name of a dragon in the Shadowrun RPG).

But then I thought, "that's not very original". Maybe "Funkelzahn" (glitter tooth) is better. Google gave me hundreds of results for that name, so I needed something else.

Eventually, I came up with "Munkelzahn" (rumor tooth). It doesn't mean anything, but it appeared nowhere on Google.

edit:
Mantikor is the German name of the manticore

I found this place shortly after moving back to america from Japan and was single at the time, so I felt that lone wolf in japanese was a good fit.

Oh, ippiki, you're such a wolf. You shouldn't deny your true heritage.

I use this name everywhere, so I use it here, too.

I was going to use my usual name, but I wanted something a bit more boding and came up with Swamp Root. I grew up in a swamp so it seemed fitting.

Actinide family of elements.
Yes, the radioactive ones.

They're about as offputting as my personality, so I figured it was a nice fit.

:-D

A randomly generated name from Everquest, back in early 2001.

I am princess celestia, I am a princess, who controls the sun. There ya go.

I made it because i like dragons. Dragons are cool. And ice is cool too... yeah.

I have another alias I primarily use on the internet. The name I'm using here is derived from it for use with my "naughty" accounts.

A justframe is an action requiring perfect accuracy AND timing.

Basically, I have style, and you don't.

[full fursona name withheld 7/23/12, it actually came up on Google search..], or Valence, came to my mind trying to come up with a character name for a roleplay, and going through each letter of the alphabet trying to come up with something I thought sounded decent. As you could guess, it took a while. Ended up at va-, thought of valence electrons, and figured it'd be a cool name. Though I prefer to be called Valence, I consider "Valencium" to be the proper name, sounding similar to many elements. Desumo came up from translating electron to latin. So there you have it.

(Given similar origins, I see why Actini would comment on my name on the IRC~)

My name comes from an old villain character I used as an antagonist in an ancient D&D-esque system that I DMed way back in the early 90's. (It was based loosely on 2nd edition D&D and Heroquest.)

After a while I started using the name in other places, from video games to (eventually) the internet. When I encountered a forum, I went with Shatari as a second choice (the first one being taken), and I've been using it non-stop ever since.

Here lately there's been a major influx of Shataris around the web due to a World of Warcraft town of a similar name and it's been popular in the orient for a while since it's the name of an herb, but I was Shatari before Shatari went pop.

Technically, shouldn't you be a queen? I know Disney has done it's best to make all queens evil and unappealing to younger audiences, but there doesn't seem to be any monarchs above you so...

Didn't the Nostalgia Critic already cover this?

I usually like really convoluted names, so in a spate of self-irony I named myself "123easy" because it was as easy as pressing 123easy. :P

I've used a handle around the internet for about a decade that ended in wolf, but I decided I didn't want that name--that my family knew about--to be associated with 'naughty places'.. so mulled and finally says "SnowWolf!'

...I'd I'd known I'd end up caring as much about this lace, I would have come up with something a little more fitting and a little more UNIQUE.

It annoys me that I can't go onto furaffinity, and deviant art and other places and sign up as SnowWolf to properly represent *me*, for when I go to contact artists and such.

Actini said:

He's addressed the "all queens are evil" skit, IIRC. I do wish he'd do an episode about My Little Pony though, that would be awesome...

Shatari said:

I don't think he would ever do one. First of, he doesn't really have knowlegde of the actual original show, which would seem something the NChick would cover, Secnod it's hardly a nostalgic cartoon, since it's barely run a year or so by now. maybe if he did a Old vs. New of it. But yeah, it would be sweet. If we're lucky, someone else from the TGWTG crew will take a look at it. A fair number of them actually do like the show. But that's just my two cents in the case.

I like the subtle play on words, and it wasn't likely to be taken.

My name is Tony and I made it up when I played Runescape (when it was still Classic) and I've used it for everything since.

Take a French guy who tries to integrate the english community + the fact he is a Japanese wannabe + 5 minutes to create a random japanese-like username = Neitsuke :>

Runescape classic. Hells yeah.

A highly unclever play on my more common online tag.

If you've seen me elsewhere you can probably put two and two together.

I've actually posted an etymology of that username on another forum. I'm curious to see if anyone can find it.

My username comes partly from the band Disturbed, but mostly from my tendency to vanish in the middle of a conversation.

I hold this name near and dear to me because, not only is it the name I gave to my most favorite pet dog I had as a child, it's the one I've used the most, and a lot of people seem to enjoy it.

Name is entirely random, but the first use of it was for a green eyrie/gryphon at Neopets. Somehow got a mention in story which isn't exactly affliated with me too. (then again, my account there got hijacked, so..)

From a unit in the xbox game Gladius.

The Murmillo unit was a power house, top notch great all around unit. Back them up with a spell caster (healer) or two and they just dominated.

Hence, Murmillos.
Tho, if I need to RP a female character, my fem alternate name is Murnakia.

What if we call you Murrmillos?

Lack of inspiration, forcing a new nickname, wiki entry on 2chan slang.

Well I was originally thinking of something along the lines of "FlavourfulSodomite" but the bloodied remnants of my sense of decency prompted me to opt for something a little more unassuming: that being a literal take on the requested form of identification.

My username is a series of contradictions. I am null, and I am twofour, and I am twofour-in-binary, where there is no twofour.

I also accidentallypurposely have the samedifferent values here and on dalnetdarkmystsynircfurnetIRC.

My name was a random jumble of letters I shoved together of no particular significance for a Redwall fan character in 2001 that's stuck ever since. I was rather young at the time and didn't really realize till later it was two letters away from a body part that everyone keeps calling me. >:[

I am pretty sure that there is the word Aer, probably heard it somewhere. But, wanted Heracles but feminine and tried Hera somewhere (apparently it is also a Greek name :| ) but it was taken so Hera -> Aerah.

Additionally I am en self-centered fucktard in some sort of an elegant way, so Eleganta.

There once was a game called Parasite Eve II, and in that game there was a gun, and underneath that gun, attached to the bottom of the barrel was a flamethrower. The name of that flamethrower was "Pyke"

Ta-da!

I love fire, so I figured it was a perfect fit for an online alias.

the first three letters of my first, middle, and last name put together.

Luvell Dapsone Orne. Kinda funny now that i think of it.

Princess Luna is my favorite character from MLP:FiM, so when I saw that there was a Princess Celestia running around, I decided to jump in on it!

And it's been awesome~

Dude, she gets like one line. In one episode.

my username is based on my love of cookies, my favorite animal, and combining the two...since then cookie kangaroo has become my fursona, even though it was originally a wolf/dragon/deer hybrid.

Tell it to Derpy Hooves. She appeared for a split second in that SAME episode, and has NO lines.

PEII was one of the best games I ever played. that final boss... the giant baby... majorly epic. And getting to platy back through the game starting with a bad-ass shotgun was fun too. Ever play Martian Gothic? Not as good, but a great game as well.

Decided I needed a different username than my usual one, so I tried to take the name of one of my favorite characters from BlazBlue. Except I evidently couldn't spell Valkenhayn. Not my finest moment.

I live near Philadelphia and I love the Phillies baseball team. Their mascot is called the Phillie Phanatic, so I thought I would mess around with it and I came up with Furry Fanatic (with correct spelling). See post #147825 for reference.

By chance would it happen to be west of Philadelphia?

Perhaps where you were born and raised?

I honestly think that he is the reason I'm a furry. Reading his books in middle school, for some reason I always saw tiny hints of sexual hints in his books. I was probably just stupid, haha. Anyways, then I found the fandom, and those kinda came true... In a way.

My name comes from how much of a different person I am in the day then at night. Considering at night was when I used to go online and go on furry websites, such as Yiffstar. Also, I love raccoons <3

LOL! While i saw lots of sexual scenes and innuendos in Piers Anthony's books, I didn't quite catch them in Jacques work. Maybe I wasn't reading them closely enough.

Actually, I live outside of Philadelphia but close enough to say I live near it.

I must have read just Salamandastron a dozen times when I was that age. I once could claim (and did so proudly) that I owned and had read every book in the Redwall series. I guess that was only 7 books back then, though. Harumph.

Though, I blame my fandom on Disney. Robin Hood hooked me at an early age.
