[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a long convoluted story but when I was a teen (I'm 46 now) I created a series of designs I called "earthbound angel" over the years it morphed to whoisearth.

Old internet nickname, back in the MSN Messenger days.

[–] HankMardukas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm your best friend.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

My name is the spell that I can cast in real life. Not as good as a real Muscle Wizard's, but it's something

[–] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Would be a very long comment but it's a reference Black Kettle's betrayal and murder by General Custer.

I combined my dog's names (Kona and Loki) but fucked it up the first time I ever used it as a username. It was supposed to be "Kolonaki" taking the first two letters of Kona and the first two of Loki then alternating in the second half of both. KoLoNaKi. But I accidentally entered "KolAnaki" and just ran with it.

I liked it so much, I made it my fursona's name since before that name was just "Raccoon."

Take a wild guess

I couldn't come up with shit so I put a random word through a cipher and switched a few letters around

[–] sanbeiji@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I was in a little cafe in Taiwan and that's what we ordered.

[–] ThaNook@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

I'm a fan of BNA's tanuki main character Michiru, and Summer Tanuki's storyline, and how Tom Nook's name is pun with Tanuki and...

The stars just aligned for me, I swear.

[–] Akuma@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Akuma is a boss. Been my favorite all through my childhood.

[–] momentary@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

My preferred username was already taken a long time ago. This was meant to be a temporary replacement, but now this is my preferred username.

[–] GlendatheGayWitch@lib.lgbt 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a play off Friend of Dorothy.

Beta as in Beta Pictoris, a cool star.

Among us name generator

[–] BitsOfBeard@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I used the same moronic username I got from a name generator for 20 years before Reddit was trashed. I took the opportunity to reinvent myself. I'm a techie with a beard....

[–] lorez@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I used to really love William Gibson. It's the name of a fictional musical duo in one of his novels, Idoru.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am too lazy and boring for a username, so I just use my RL name.

[–] andrr_464@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My friends name is Nick and was thinking about him when I came up with this name. Also wanted a cool unique name like my brothers came up with for their gamer tags.

[–] Laila@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Because it's mine and it was available.

[–] excitingburp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Crunchyroll autogenerated it. I liked it.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I live on South End and I love sunsets…combined, it makes no fucking sense.
