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'm fascinated by computer viruses and also I'm generally just really fucking depressed all the time lol

I wanted a name that would have no reference to who I actually am, so far seperated from everything else I use that no one could relate this account back to me. Lunar because at the time I thought of Luna from MLP which i don't watch or talk about, and -E is short for Eclipse which just goes well with Lunar but is harder to understand.

Dimoret -> Weavile, but in french
Pinel -> Philippe-Pinel psychiatric institute, located in Québec.
That province’s official language is french, which is why I picked the french name for weavile.

It’s from a bit of an inside joke between friends, that I’m so obsessed with weavile I could end up interned over it.

Types of penis? What are the other types?
Searching up "Elkman" on google gives me a management company.

I won't get into specifics but the profession I do for a living requires the use of hazmat suits, and so they have grown on me as I enjoy how they look and feel. "Honie" is just the female equivalent of Homie so I just smashed the two together. Other ideas I had included "HazmatTomboy" or "HazmatGF" or "BigBreastedHazmatLady" but In my opinion Hazmat Honie just worked better.

Back in the day Bronies were a newer thing to me. I believe it was 2010 or so, when my friends started watching MLP FIM and everyone was watching. I thought it was weird, but they were still my friends. So i'd tease em about watching the show. But I thought to myself "what if I teased them with references from the show?" Y'know. Just an extra spice to show, i'm just messin with yah & maybe it'd be funnier to them. Back then there was up till season 3 but sooner than that was this awesome guy DISCORD lord of chaos. I loved everything about him (non rom or sexual)! His voice, design, personality, what he stood for! I wanted to be like him, so I looked up on google "synonyms to Discord" and came across Tumult "a loud, confused noise, especially one caused by a large mass of people." That's who I wanted to be, and still do. So I donned the Title. Before then I was Megahero or CrownedClown (shout out to d.grayman & megaman fans out there).

I just picked a rhymey phrase that accurately describes how I feel when entering this hexagonal layer of Hell (and also that had nothing to do with my writing alias, because God forbid that gets connected to me here... wait I already have that in my art post don't I?).

WOw this certainly is an old thread

Well I had a previous username I used when my artwork was humanoid character/SFW focused. My persona was a deity that kind of quietly ruled over the universe my OCs lived in, as an allegory for me being that world's creator. The character was entirely black and white to represent a sketch on a mostly blank canvas. That character had existed for 10 years; I have yet to make a furry equivalent for him but it's probably going to happen eventually. As such, he is the source of my "online name", Vubby. A name I didn't choose myself but... I'll explain more...

I don't really want to directly state what my old username was but it had the word "ichor" in it as a direct reference to that old persona character.

Now I have a bad track record of choosing usernames and then going "meh" and the only ones that have really stuck over my many years of internetting have been names directly related to my age-old "online name", Vubby. Which in itself is shorthand for another username, which was the full name of that deity character who was my old persona... I know that's a little complex lol. But "Vubby" came about... geez, over 10 years ago now. Because someone couldn't pronounce my deity persona's name and so it began that people would shorten it - Vubby, Vb, Vubbs, Vub, etc. To this day, it brightens my day when people can come up with new and creative nicknames for me, as it feels like keeping up with a tradition which was started by some of my very first internet friends in my youth.

When I reincarnated anew on the furry side of the internet as an anthro artist, I didn't want to overthink my username. It was simple enough to start by combining my name and sona species, which at the time was "vubbybunny". Then I later realized I preferred using a shark for my sona and mostly prefer scalies in general, so it became "vubbyshark". And the rest is history yet to be written!

I made the username "alexrandomkat" when I was like 8, used it for everything up until I made a number of dedicated nsfw accounts and figured I wanted something different.

So I took my sona name Kat, thought of urushiol (a group of chemicals causing the allergic dermatitis that poison ivy, oak, and sumac are known for), realized it's a catechol derivative, and bang. Katechol. (I totally have a healthy relationship with my nsfw side...)

Alternative etymology, dopamine is a catecholamime. Also very fitting for a nsfw account.

How I got my name is…unusual…
Back when I was in middle school, my mom and I were having a completely bullshit, just for fun conversation. I do not remember what it was, but she mentioned that something was the cow of fire.
That phrase stuck with me, and now I use it about everywhere on the internet.

I got it from this old ass video. I just thought it was funny when I was a kid, and I really like the Metal Gear series so I ended up using it on a bunch of places. Although nowadays I usually go by Dante because he is one of the coolest characters in all of fiction, and if you don't believe me here's proof

I realized that having my e6 username the same as everywhere else was not a good idea, and so I spontaneously came up with ja_pfirsich_eistee (ja_peach_ice_tea). Because I like Peach ice tea, and specifically had the one from the brand Ja!.

I like Switzerland and Vore but Eka's portal wouldn't allow 'switzvoreland' due to profanity, still not sure why.

I originally only made this account to use the blacklist feature and look at pics. Lonetraveler was the first thing that came to my mind because since i only used this account for the aforementioned until very recently i likened it to being a drifter who comes by this place from time to time.

I picked mine as a way of being all sneaky, like "Ah hah! This will surely throw people off my trail! They'll never suspect I'd call myself a girl!"
... So anyway, I came out as trans and I'm a girl now XD
