I came up with the name because I wanted something that [sounded] clever and was about something I keep secret about myself. I decided I finally needed a not-bald avatar, and googled "Juxtapony". Apparently it's already a book! I took the cover image (thanks Amazon), and edited it up real quick so it represents my interest in the FF community better.

And that's how Equestria was made!

Maybe next time I'll tell you the story of how I got my Avatar!
