Nova

Reading through other people's stories I'm finding the name Nova being used far more often then I'd realized. And always connected to Twilight Sparkle for some reason. OK that's got to be more then just a coincidence.

Why did I start using Nova?
I discovered by pure chance that the initials to my name as written out in Kanji can be pronounced as Nova [ノ エハ - Noeha] It's not the standard spelling. Normally Nova is written [ノバ - Noba]. I named my first pony OC, a black and white unicorn, Nova, and gave the name as a second name to my second pony OC.
I often sign my art with a variation of the ノ エハ

The third character has the second leg arching the other way, which is a variation of the same symbol, but won't display in text for some odd reason.

So there you have it. I'm literally stamping my name on my character.
