What are you, a cop?

Jk but for real, how'd you get your username?

My daughter gave me this name.

[-] loweffortname@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Honestly? I was trying too hard.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 6 points 8 months ago

I got it from valarin, an obscure Tolkien language for the Valar. Without the h it means 'the storyteller' I thought the h would help in pronunciation, it usually doesn't.

Data structure and algorithm class in college.

[-] Monster96@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I've been using Monster ever since I randomly chose it during a Mario Kart race while on a school trip. There were 8 of us playing Mario Kart DS and I wanted to stand out.

[-] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 8 months ago

My friends' band in high school was called Dances with Bread. I was their biggest fan, so I wanted a username that was bread themed. But I also felt like a username that had a sci-fi feel to it. ToastedPlanet was available on Reddit and it was available on Blåhaj Lemmy. But I managed to mistype it on DeviantArt as ToastePlanet which is embarrassing to say the least.

Pure Pwnage reference

[-] ProperlyProperTea@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

Alliteration, Rhythm, Rhyme, and I like properly made tea.

[-] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I was messing about in a fighter simulator (previous milenium) and the game told me I did an insane move. It sticked, so I called myself TheInsane. In an online game, that nick was already in use, so I got the suggestion to take TheInsane1... nah, there is only 1 answer to everything, so I added that. It stuck since then. I got me the matching domain in '22.

I'm using KoffieNu as well, as it matched my domain koffie.nu (proud owner since '98), mainly on mastodon, git and some dutch lemmy instances.

[-] Threadsdeadbaby@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Pulp fiction.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 8 months ago

I just like that short comic/meme of the Muscle Wizard

[-] ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

My cat’s name is Shadow. I do a lot of techy things, so “EXE” felt like a cool thing to add. “ShadowEXE” doesn’t flow as much as “ShadowCatEXE”. I also have alt names with DLL instead of EXE, but it’s not as cool.

I was in a 3 little pigs mood at the time.

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It sounded funny. It has nothing to do with Linux, but yet I still run Linux.

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

A cheesy 90s drink, they were fun to see how far you could spit the jelly bits, or just a kinda fun drink I rarely saw as a teen. Nothing great but when you lived in the middle of nowhere it didn't take much in the mid 90s to be entertained as a teen.

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Well, the box was staring at me when I created this account.

[-] kugel7c@feddit.de 4 points 8 months ago

First word that came to mind when I was like 13 followed by an arbitrary number and letter. It just means ball or sphere in German. I took up naming things by simple shapes by then so I guess there must be something I like about it.

[-] Sidyctism@feddit.de 4 points 8 months ago

i thought that my old username (that i came up with when i was 8 and creating an account for runescape) was too childish.

At some point after i watched donnie darko while being really high. The rest is history

It's embarrassing. I'm not telling.

[-] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

I asked chatGPT to come up with something that combines forests and debate and then I just started making different variations of that for each of my new accounts and this is the latest version. Hardly any resembalance to the original one.

[-] Chetzemoka@startrek.website 4 points 8 months ago

Deep cut Expanse reference. Specifically to an episode that had a lot of personal meaning for me.

Just made that shit up. I was trying to think of something stupid that wouldn't identify me in any personal way, and this one made me chuckle

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

My original reddit name. It is on my 2 Guinness World Records for "Largest Online Secret Santa".

It means = Paramedic, guy(pig), and I did "save" two babies as a Paramedic.

[-] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 4 points 8 months ago

Self explainotry

[-] ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

In memory of the Apollo app.
