Everyone on HP always has unique names, how did you come up with yours?

Mine is just my actual name, haha.

I used to always be Moonlit Dreams, then someone else on HL started using it so I switched to Amaya (my roleplaying name since before HL)which means 'Night Rain'... and then I switched over to Concourse cause I just didn't like Amaya as a stable/kennel name. Concourse isn't really unique, it was named after these building not to far from me that are called the Concourse King and Queen. They are a beautiful work of architecture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concourse_at_Landmark_Center It also helped that I loved the definition of Concourse: "The act of coming, moving, or flowing together."

Zephyr means "a soft gentle breeze." and I really like the way it sounds. Plus I was Zephyr on HL. :)

I literally have no idea where BlackFire came from but have used that name for at least a decade now on horse sims. It used to be unique till I became a moderator on HL. Now I see the name everywhere on games :(

I loved reading all your reasons. C:

Noxhidis is my Nobody name, like from Kingdom Hearts. Upon becoming a Nobody, the characters' names are rearranged, and an "x" is thrown in there for some reason. (Ex: Lea = Axel.) My real name is Sydney, but I didn't like any of the possibilities associated with that, so I started playing around with "Shidoni," which is the rōmaji spelling of my name in Japanese. (The company Square Enix, which made the game, is Japanese.) Shidoni = Noxhidis.

The first three letters, Nox, also happen to be the name of a spell in Harry Potter, my lifelong obsession. So, I squeezed two fandoms into one username! Plus, I think it sounds cool.

I've only been Roosery since I joined HP. On HL I went by several names including; Razorblade Romance (Rome), Cyanide Sun (Cya) and Beyond Redemption (Red). They are the names of songs/albums by the band HIM.

 

I chose Roosery on here, as I wanted something more unique and personal. Roosery is my boyfriend's old nickname. He was given it in college by his bandmate, who, for some very odd reason, came up with the idea that Chris (my bf) had fathered something like 90 Viatnamese kids, and they came over to the UK on a little boat looking for him, and due to their accents, couldn't prounce his last name, so called him "Papa Roosery" .... yeeeeeah.... Ricky was a little odd. lolz.

But, another friend once had Chris listed on his phone as 'Roosery' and me as 'Mrs Roosery', sooo, yeah. I just thought it'd be nice to use. Though I rarely get called Roosery on here. Usually just Roo. (oh, and it then sounds like one of Chris's nicknames for me which is Mew, after the Pokemon, cos apparently I am tiny and adorable, but could beat the living snot out of people, if I so wished. lolz) ^_^ 

So yeah, there's the story of how I became Roosery :)

I live and go to school in the Southern Appalachia Mountains and I just always thought Appalachia sounded pretty. I've been going by "Appy" since long before my HP days because my main rp character was Aproditie and nicknamed Appy and it just stuck I guess

When I fist started HL, I went by "Kimberly" (My sister's name), but someone told me I shouldn't use my real name on a game... and I didn't like answering to my sister's name anyways, so I had to think of a new name... and at the time I was really big into football, college level that is. University of Utah (U of U) is my favorite team(still is). So I decided to do U(shortening of U of U) rocks (text lingo rox). Hence my name was born. I just brought it over from HL to here. It was my main username until it was taken on another site, then I switched to Ambrosine, when thats taken, I use Ambrosineeturox(Ambrosine[et]urox). Basiclly that is Ambrosine and (et, is french for and) Urox. Hence my DA name.

 

Btw, I wondered where my blinky ran away to. :P

I've always been Riddle, because I used to love any kind of riddles or puzzles.  Now I just go by Kimberly, because I'm a twenty-six year old wife and mother, and really just feel that "Kimberly" is who I am.  XD  No more Riddle.

Can I just point out how ironic it is that Kimberly posted after me?

When I first started horseland, I was breeding napkins (remember when everyone was like breeding forks and spoons and stuff?) Then I decided I didn't want to be ~*'[paint poniez farmz]'*~ (yeah... not kidding) and wanted to be taken more seriously in the game. So, I was thinking of names. I was using the restroom when I saw our cabinet door open and hydrogen peroxide was sitting there. I was contemplating names and thus, peroxide was born. I wanted to change it on HL and then here, but I feel like its very memorable and I've been the only one with it so far... so here I am still peroxide, over a decade later!

I got my name from my little brother. When I first started playing in 2009 I was trying to think of a name and my little brother said and I quote "Everyone is going to be Envious of your animals sissy" and well it just stuck so I have been Envious since then :)

I started playing SIM games with this name years ago, because I liked Mufasa (from the lion king).

Now I'm an adult still using the name Mufasa but eh...

Otherwise I'm known as Soviet....because I'm also into the Soviet Union.

I originally went by Chaotic Insane on here, and have used the SN for over 5 years now. It was a play on the "Chaotic Neutral" alignment from Dungeons&Dragons and similar tabletop RPGs. 

The Captain as a pretty good case-in-point. Chaotic Neutral characters are free-spirited and sliiightly crazy.

 

It was my favorite character alignment to play at the time for RP characters, and really kind of... coming to terms with the realization that no, I'm legitimately not sane. In hindsight literally going by insane is offensive so... err. *cough* 

I've recently changed it to xxCHAOTIC just to simplify things and shorten my username so I'm easier to find.

I have had multiple names flying around from every site I've been on.  Some names were either already taken or I just didn't want to use for personal reasons.   With that said, I decided to name myself Equestrianlover121,  due to my extreme obsession with equines and equestrian sports. However,  my name was long and people started calling Equ but most aren't sure how to pronounce it. My name is pronounced two ways: "e-qu" or "equa", but most pronounce it tbe second way xD

The first part name came from the 1994 sci-if movie Stargate(one of my favorite movies).  My favorite character is named Skaara (he was also featured in the later t.v series). Besides him being my favorite character, I also liked the name. The second part of my name, sindarin, comes from Lord of the Rings. It is the official name of the language spoken by the elves in Tolkein's books and the movies (although only a true Tolkeinist/Ringer would know this). This comes from my great love for the works of J.R.R Tolkein.Also, Adranth- I love Dragonriders of Pern :3!
