Mine is my password I use for all my accounts. It is very convenient for the frequent times I forget it. I can just come here and there it is.
Star Wars Galaxies I was on a red wine kick at the time and had found Ecco Domani to be a good low priced red. I meeded a character name for SWG so I looked up "to seize" in Italian to make "seize tomorrow".
It's actually "squeeze tomorrow" or "tighten tomorrow" and should have been "cogliere il domani" which is cooler. But c'est la vie, or questa è la vita.
I got onto Reddit back in the day for the electronic music production subreddits. There was an old Daft Punk interview during the big Ultra Music festival days where they made a joke that all EDM music was made by just one guy, Eric David Morris.
Take a guess 😅
Ironic name like calling a large person Tiny.
Clearly you are a young whippersnapper!
...I'm still here
May you get out soon.
I am kind of introverted, am I actually introvert or socially awkward or whatever doesn't matter, but for the simplicity I'm introvert and I like cats.
From a famous Australian poem called... "Said Hanrahan"

A bunch of goofy bureaucracy name fuckups to my real name. It’s a long and boring story. It’s in no way related to being a group for tacos addicts.
Surname plus 3 random numbers
/dev/urandom
I'm 6'4" / 193cm, so I'm taller than most.
Hank likes hominy.
"Corno" is just a username I made up in my head since I like how it sounds and I was weirdly craving some cornflakes while signing up. As for my display name, that's...well, my name! 😃
Around the time I first started using this username about 7 or so years ago, I was playing through the Megaman Zero games, that take place approximately 100 years after the events of Megaman X, which take place during "year 21xx". So 'Zero22xx' specifically references the version of Zero from the Megaman Zero games.
On top of that, I also just thought it was a cool mix of letters and numbers that can look pretty random if you don't know the games, or if I'm not using a profile pic.
The only annoying thing is that at some point around the time I created this username, I started seeing an anime character called 'ZeroTwo' around. So I guess it could be mistaken that I'm referencing that too.
When I was younger, I was crazy about Idaho and wanted to move there. One of my old nicknames was Lil Miss Potatoes. Now I'm a grown ass woman, so I'm Lady Taters. People tend to think it's a nickname related to my chest though.
It’s like 15 years old from back when I used to PVP in EVE online. Vaguely weird to pronounce and towards the middle of the alphabet so I don’t get primaried
Redditors are stupid in very specific ways and it annoys me.
My username is called after my first home brewed beer. It's a portmanteau of a slur used for people of my city and the type of beer I brewed that day.
It’s a reference to a more obscure Marx Brother, as in the 30s-40s comedy group. Does not have any special significance to me personally.
It came from long list of mispronounced words from a Ukrainian girl that came to our country when the war started.
The list is gold mine for usernames, I have to contact my friend who dates her to get it.
It's related to my first name. But some letters removed and others rearranged.
Borpborpborplorpborpnorpborpsorpborpsorpborp? Is it really you?

I love frogs and was hungry when I made my account.
Former skydiver.
Performed a lot of Demonstration jumps into everything from airports, race tracks, professional sports stadiums, high school sports stadiums, golf courses, and a few other places that required skill and knowledge to land in safely.
Also, spent a lot of time teaching canopy skills to up and coming jumpers.
It's a permutation of a permutation of a pseudo random username.
I couldn't think of a name but I wanted an account. Every time I tried to think of something, I hit a mental block. "I don't want to"
It's from my favourite Shakespeare play, Much Ado About Nothing.
Beatrice (on the subject of getting married):
Would it not grieve a woman to be overmaster’d with a piece of valiant dust? To make an account of her life to a clod of wayward marl?
It doesn't make that much sense as a username for me, because the piece of valiant dust would be the husband and I'm a woman. But I thought it sounded nice.
Because I always wanted to have my own theme song.
But really, I browsed through my music collection by alphabetical order and it sounded cool. Blue Öyster Cult always delivers, even with the title of their songs.
I used to be just "Cyborg" in IRC, forums and online games back in the late 90's because I found them cool. That was always my online nickname.
But it was already taken on Reddit when I joined so so many years ago. Cyborg is short for Cybernetic Organism. So I just used organism in the name instead. It was unique enough that no one else used it.
Mine is a cheat code for Castlevania III on NES. Which is, I believe, the name of one of the developers of the game.
I like nicknames that are short and have no real meaning that just kind of sound like they could be a name.
I made an off hand joke about farts having accents once. It got some laughs and then I thought, "That would make a good username."
... aaand here we are today: You're welcome everybody!
