Offer ideas for journal names for pups we don't have in Milliways yet—whether these are pups you plan to app, want to see, or just think it'd be a funny username for. Names must follow the usual rules: no-caps alphanumeric plus underscore, not beginning or ending with underscore, limited to 25 characters as per Dreamwidth; bonus points for keeping them under the old LJ limit of 15.

Another thought I just had was for Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin from Once Upon a Time, whats_my_name
kd7sov: (mlp)

[personal profile] kd7sov 2012-02-02 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's see what I can come up with for MLP that fits the existing "theme" of names referencing other canons...

Like [livejournal.com profile] innerbrat, I haven't checked any of these.

Rarity: putn_it_togethr (borderline, but I think it counts. Sunday in the Park with George)
The Grandiose and Pompous Great and Powerful Trixie: gazemazement (Homestarrunner, or so I'm informed)
Princess Celestia: herecomesthesun or blue_sunny_day (The Beatles or Jonathan Coulton; the first fits her character much better, but the second fits better with her sister (always_the_moon))
Flim and/or Flam: ya_got_cider (The Music Man)
Big Macintosh: need2use_math (Futurama, I think?)
Rainbow Dash: speeding_bullet (Superman, natch)

And I think that's enough for now.

[personal profile] shinyhappygoth 2012-02-02 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno, for Rainbow Dash, it may not be a reference to any canon, but I'm thinking something along the lines of acrossthesky...
leeshajoy: (Default)

[personal profile] leeshajoy (from livejournal.com) 2012-02-02 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, now that I actually stop to check, tastetherainbowmuthabucka exactly fits the 25-character limit. :)
death_gone_mad: Amascut smiling, baring and gritting her teeth. Who knows what that expression means? (yes!)

[personal profile] death_gone_mad 2012-02-03 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
AHAHAHAHA!
leeshajoy: (Default)

These are all over the LJ character limit, but still.

[personal profile] leeshajoy (from livejournal.com) 2012-02-02 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Apple Jack: tasteslikeapples (Apple Jacks cereal, natch)
Ranbow Dash: tastetherainbow (Skittles)
Apple Bloom: heylittleappleblossom (title of a White Stripes song)

More when I can think of them.
leeshajoy: (Default)

Just thought of another!

[personal profile] leeshajoy (from livejournal.com) 2012-02-02 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Fancy Pants: its_only_clothes (another Jonathan Coulton lyric, and it actually fits his character rather well!)

kd7sov: (Default)

[personal profile] kd7sov 2012-02-02 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if we want to perpetuate a thing I dislike and stretch our referentials we could claim scootscootscootscootscoot as a Zelda reference. Come to think of it, there's at least one cucco in Minish Cap who gets lines; I wonder if any of those might be adaptable into journal names.

In other news...

Pinkie Pie: alltheparties_allofthem (Homestuck, though the last pony on whom I'd expect it) or soterios_johnson (Jonathan Coulton again)
either Ursa (or any other constellation beast, if they show up): 1000_worlds_of_equinity (Young Wizards, rather subtly)
shinyhappygoth: photo of me reading Understanding Comics on Shakespeare's lap, http://www.flickr.com/photos/rabbitdance/3066976113/ (Default)

[personal profile] shinyhappygoth 2012-02-02 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I don't think soterios_johnson without anything else. I mean, he's an actual media-type person. It needs something to signify the song.
kd7sov: (Default)

[personal profile] kd7sov 2012-02-02 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, point. I've never encountered his name outside of the song or direct references to it, so that fact slipped my mind.

[personal profile] shinyhappygoth 2012-02-02 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Since I'm not bothering with the reference theme myself, for Pinkie Pie, I vote either party_perm, party_cannon, or something involving cotton candy.

[personal profile] ceitfianna 2012-02-02 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Let me see if I can manage some X-Men: First Class and other canon ones. For reference, my Charles' username is balancingminds, which I like.

Raven-bethemask

Rupert from the Magid Chronicles-nicerprat, thirdmagid. r_venables
Nick from the same-notmagid

Conrad from Conrad's Fate-snapsofworlds, metkarma
Christopher/Chrestomanci-namethreetimes, dietoooften, bestwhenbossy

Ekaterina from the Vorkosigan books-findsgrowth, truevor
Ivan from the same-notmiles, fitsuniform, playssafe

Touchstone from Abhorsen Chronicles-sleptaswood, onceafool, lastroyalblood

And this DE is making me consider characters to try out, I don't think that was the point.
Edited 2012-02-02 18:58 (UTC)

[identity profile] spooky-lemur.livejournal.com 2012-02-02 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Another one for Chrestomanci:
Mr. Sanders, joininthechants which is likely only funny for me as that's a play on the title of one of my favorite songs by Nitzer Ebb. =]

And I'd have to agree this DE is dangerous.

Oh and I love you handle for Raven!

See if maybe your local library can get it through ILL, it's a good read. I recently found a hardcover copy of it at a used bookstore along with another of hers.

Soon I will have all of them thanks to used bookstores, library booksales and amazon.

Psych:
I...cannot think of one for Lassie. I am sad :/

And canons I don't play in:

Burn Notice

Madeline Westen - 2disneyworld - which is Michael and Sam's code statement, specially created for Maddie - it's her signal that she needs to be ready to take off and head to a safehouse.

The Simpsons

Marge Simpson - withgentlehumor - Which is the way Marge feels she should take the abuse of others.
