What made you choose your name? I wanted something unique. And I love Greek Mythology. So it fit well.

Does it mean anything special? Gaia, in Greek Mythology, was the "great mother of all."

Do you ever plan to change it (If so explain why)? Nope. Stickin with it.

How do you pronounce it? gay[ah]

Preferred nicknames? Nope. Just Gaia.

Do people call you it irl? Nope. My RL name is Taylor. Most people in RL call me Tay.

What made you choose your name? It's not that unique of a name, but it's short and a nickname I had in real life so it just made sense I suppose.

Does it mean anything special? Nah, it's just a shortened form of an old nickname.

Do you ever plan to change it (If so explain why)? Not really, I could change it to something more unique or cool but eh, it works so why change it lol.

How do you pronounce it? Pretty straightforward, just "o" with an m in front of it.

Preferred nicknames? It's so short I don't really need one, honestly!

Funny things you've been called? Common misspellings like "moo" or "mom" are pretty funny.

Do people call you it irl? Yep, that's where I got it originally.

What made you choose your name?

I was hoping to come up with/find a less juvenile name (my previous names were Horsey Haven and Horse Heaven), and I somehow came up with 'Angels In Disguise' at Youth Group one night. I was hooked on it. However, I did put up a post asking for name suggestions, but I eventually ended up choosing AngelsInDisguise, and it's been my name ever since.

Does it mean anything special?

Well, I've always thought of it as a religious/hopeful name. Like, even in your darkest moments, there will always an Angel in disguise around you, helping you through and saving you.

Do you ever plan to change it (If so explain why)?

Unless I find a better name, nope. I don't plan on changing it.

How do you pronounce it?

Exactly how it looks.

Preferred nicknames?

AID, Angel(s)

Funny things you've been called?

I can't think of any on here, but I have been called 'Crumpy' in real life.

Do people call you it irl?

Nope.

i'll do both my old and new one :p

what made you choose your name?
blondie: well, i'm very blonde. it's all natural, it's like a "diamond" blonde and i figured it fit. (if you don't believe me, here you go).
pistol: just needed a name change, and i like guns and hunting and stuff and wanted a single word-name (honestly, i was intrigued by siren's name change and liked the one-word theme :p).

does it mean anything special?
blondie: not necessarily. i learned right before my name change that my mom's nickname was blondie in high school, and now it's kind of mine too lol.
pistol: nah. it could, though. our family cabin is being sold and my family built it by hand. we hunted up there every year and went up for vacation so i'm really going to miss it.

do you ever plan to change it (if so, explain why)?
i changed from blondie to pistol because i thought blondie sounded a bit "young" or immature. i don't plan on changing pistol anytime soon because i really like it. who knows, i might find something i like more.

how do you pronounce it?
blond-ee and pistol like the gun

preferred nicknames?
none really. i still get called blondie by a select few.

funny things you've been called?
ahh mango, or the blonde one.

do people call you it irl?
blondie: yes, not many though.
pistol: nope. it's just my gametag so no one really knows me haha.

What made you choose your name? About 5? years ago when I was rejoining Howrse every name I could think of was already taken. In absolute desperation I tried Aglet, and magically it was still available. It more or less comes from Phineas and Ferb. Recently I was awake at 3 AM and decided to change my name, I decided to go with insomniac because well I have issues with sleep, but when I added insomnia- to the name box it momentarily merged with aglet to become insomniaglet, I liked it so viola!

Does it mean anything special? Explained it all above. lolz

Do you ever plan to change it (If so explain why)? Eventually I'll go back to aglet, but for now I like having something more to my name.

How do you pronounce it? agg-let or in-som-nee-agg-let

Preferred nicknames? I have few nicknames, with the exception of Windspun who calls me Aggie (I sometimes call myself the same thing, but not often). Sometimes I get called Ag, but can't remember by who.

Funny things you've been called? Alget, which is just a silly typo but happens occasionally. For a while my keyboard didn't like typing the letter L so I was always spelling my own name Aget.

Do people call you it irl? I do in my own head, but no one else does.

P.S. my RL name is also Ashlie so *yay* another one ;)

What made you choose your name?
Well I normally go by the name Xoupia and that name was chosen by simply mashing some letters together. Very simple but it worked. As for the name Nashi.Sūpu, Nashi is actually my mascot/fursona's name but the name Nashi was chosen as an inside joke between me and my friend Aimee as well as the Sūpu part.

Does it mean anything special?
Xoupia isn't really special and there is a meaning being Nashi.Sūpu as it relates to a nickname my friend Aimee calls me. Feel free to try to work out what it means because I will not disclose it publicly haha

Do you ever plan to change it (If so explain why)?
Well I never planned to change my regular name Xoupia to Nashi.Sūpu but I did because I got a little bored of it, though I do still go by it in some places. As for Nashi.Sūpu, I can see it sticking for a long time.

How do you pronounce it?
Xoupia is pronounced Zoo-pia and Nashi.Sūpu is pronounced Na-she Su-pu

Preferred nicknames?
Going by my old user Xou and going by my new user Nash

Funny things you've been called?
Oh gosh with my old user Pear, Xoupy-poopy, Soup, Xou Xou. As for my new user no funny names yet.

Do people call you it irl?
People call me Xoupia a lot irl. No one as called me as Nash yet though.

What made you choose your name? There's a rescue horse at the stables I used to ride at named Elfin Reign and I accidentally mispelled it Elven Reign when I made a character named after her which I just called Reign for short.

Does it mean anything special? The horse it was named after was rescued from a kill pen after being sent there for running through multiple barbed wire fences and the name sounds powerful so I'd like to think it means bravery, courage, strength, spontaneousness, etc.

Do you ever plan to change it (If so explain why)? I've changed it a few times and used multiple users on other sites but I'm not sure if I'll change it again on here. Maybe, but I still have a character named Reign and Reign's old design which I renamed Shiver and made the sister of the new Reign design.

How do you pronounce it? Rain

Preferred nicknames? Rei, ReiRei, Reigny, Cling

Funny things you've been called? Clingalingadingdong(*cough* Potato Ren *cough*) and Reibae

Do people call you it irl? No xD

And for people who don't know, I'm Cling Queen, FN-2187 (Finn), Reign, and Mocha

What made you choose your name? my real life name is Leah Morgan, so Leah is just my name.

Does it mean anything special? in real life, I got to pick my own name when I was adopted and I chose Leah. So it's special to me, personally. It's meaning is "tired" though, which I definitely live up to.

Do you ever plan to change it (If so explain why)? nope. it used to be Leah Morgan when I started out, but once enough people knew me, I made it Leah.

How do you pronounce it? lee-uh

Preferred nicknames? I've been known to be called Sunshine (one of my ex-boyfriend's nicknames for me) or Cookie (just a random nickname I got when I was really young) or Leah Bear (my dad's nickname for me) in real life, but I'd prefer if everyone just stuck to Leah.

Funny things you've been called? Ruby calls me Leahmur. but that's just her name for me.

Do people call you it irl? absolutely. it IS my real name, after all.
