I'm half Korean, 6' 230lb. My martial arts instructor said to me, "You're the biggest fucking Korean I've ever seen." So Giant Korean just kind of stuck.

I like frogs.

I also like to change usernames on a semi-regular basis, so it was time for a change, and this is the first time in a really long time that I've been able to have a four-letter noun as a username. So I shall celebrate the joy of being simply "frog".

It's a line from a Pink Floyd song. I like the fact that when people see my name, if they know the song, they probably hear it in their heads. This is especially poignant since I once had a love like no other- it was our song. He died, but he would have loved my username. He would have loved Lemmy, too.

One time I walking past a bar with some buddies in high school and a very drunk man was kicked out right in front of us. He screams and hollers at the bouncer and throws a big tantrum about it for a bit then out of NOWHERE he pulls out several folded up strips of bacon out of his front pocket, takes a bite and this seems to calm him down.

We're all flabbergasted by what we've just witnessed and we're all very obviously staring right at him when he notices us. He slurs, "Sorry you had to see that, little dudes" and offers us some of his pocket pork as an apology, which we politely refused. He shrugs and goes on his merry way.

This was right around the time reddit was taking off and I made my account a few days later and it was the first thing that came to mind. Thus, BaconInMyPants was born.

It's a new name for me. I'm Coco, recently.

I had an old internet friend on Tumblr when I was 13-14 or so who had the username "coolpng". One day they just deleted all of their accounts with no warning, no trace, no nothing -- just vanished, so I made the username "cooljpeg" in honor of them and in hopes that maybe they'll run into my e-presence one day. It's also just a simple 'n funny username, and I love jpegs so :+D

Just another heathen who likes plants and mushrooms tbh.

Feanor is one of the most important elves in the silmarillion. He is the creator of the silmarils and he led the noldor back to Middle Earth

I've been a Tolkien fan for sixty or so years.

Baggins wasn't available on Reddit but it was here.

I also use it in email addresses.

Having been on the Internet longer than some of you have been alive (damn whippersnappers), it was a result of being tired of choosing usernames. To prevent doxxing, I had been creating new accounts every few years, and this was the last name I made at the Alien site.

I love the stillness of winter. The type during a blizzard where everything "sleeps".

I had this realization when playing Dragon Age: Inquisition: https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Winter_Stillness

This year we made a jackdaw friend in our garden. We can feed it directly from the hand and it's comfortable around us.

Jackdaw in Swedish is Kaja (sounds kinda like "Kaia")

We named it Kajko (kaiko). I liked the name and now I'm using it.

In Anarchism one of our most influential books is The Conquest of Bread by Pyotr Kropotkin, also known as the Bread book. I needed to burn my old social handles and at the time the anarchist meme sub reddits would call our dank memes yeasty memes (since bread) and so I chose the name AnarchoYeasty

Zoids toys are cool and I like Futurama.

Thank you Xbox Live username generator

I have a fairly prickly personality IRL and online communities like this one make up the majority of regular interactions with people outside of my home; it's my "distraction" from being an introverted grump. Plus my insides are mostly water and pulp, so I have that going for me.

In French the word "Didascalie" is used for stage directions, often scribbled in the edges of a play, oftentimes by the author. "Les" indicates a plural, so my name would read "Les didascalies", or "the author's notes".

It pronounces basically the same as Lady Dascalie, hence where the name came from.

It’s a word I made up in High School (mid 90s) for a D&D character. It’s based on the Latin word for truth - veritas - but with tweaks it sound “cool” and like an actual name. When my family finally got internet, it also became my go-to username/identity for all things digital.

Misspelled 'Fedaykin,' the name for the fremen death commando in Dune.

As edgelordy as that sounds, I mostly just liked the word. One spelling error creating a character in a game and I liked it better, so I kept using it.

In the 90s I was Boatman_Charon on IRC. As happens on the internet - folks shortened the far-too-long username to boat. And one of my good buddies typoed it 'Bota' once, and from that day forward I was Bota instead of Boat. And being a 20 year old on IRC... I replaced the 't' with a '7'.

I made the mistake on the r site of naming my account for what I used it for, which was wasting my own time. It was intended to serve as an active reminder that I could be doing better things with my time. I had about 50/50 split If people thought I was a troll or not, though, so I didn’t bring it with me.

I wanted to go with a different but similar theme, and a lot has changed in my life and frankly, I’ve grown rooted and apathetic. The username is a reminder to be better.

This probably won’t be the account I end up using long-term, but it’s a good one for now, as I learn everything.

I had been using another name that expressed gratitude in the affirmative, decided to change it up to a name that is more for saying no politely.

One, I like Corvids. Brilliant birds they are, various mythologies around them, etc.

The latter portion is a reference to an old gaming clan I was a part of in my youth called MotR: Mercenaries of the Republic. It was a Star Wars Republic Commando clan, one of the biggest among them. I was part of Nyx Squad, and we were the biggest group of misfits and weirdos among the other squads. We weren’t always the most skilled, but damn we had character, and we had fun.

I live in California and I am naturally skeptical of anything you tell me 🤔

It's just a goofy thing me and my friends used to say and I made a depiction of it (much worse than my current avatar, which I commissioned from a cool artist I met a while back) I just thought it was fun.

Wish I knew what her current website/contact was id love to share it but I think she has gone a different way since.

Awesome things I appreciate and/or identify with:

• cookies
• the blue monster that chomps them down
• cats

Surprisingly, so far my clever play on words has rarely been taken anywhere I signed up, so I use it for any accounts I don't mind being link-able.

Someone doxed me about a decade ago so now I use my first two initials and my last name. Harder to get doxed if you only say shit you'd say face to face with someone.

Its just an old space ghost reference

I'm a six foot turkey.

I was hungry and was thinking about making a sandwich

In college I took a “Latin and Greek roots of English” course. I wanted a new username around that time and wanted something that sounded cool, so I figured out the Latin version of zombie and chose that.

It's a Devo album, my personal fav of theirs.

Quite random actualy, I just came up with it and it stuck

I've had the same (same or some iteration close to it) for over 20 years, 25 maybe? I used to be Valhalla in the 90s but at some point it became impossible to keep it as the name was popular and used on multiple forums and sites.

Being a big Led Zep fan I had chosen it from Immigrant Song. So when it came time to change it I thought of their label Swan Song and just added my initials to it. I have a couple of other accounts for other purposes that are almost as old but not as meaningful as this one is to me.

Part pun, part general description, part alliteration. Also, preferably easy to say/read without CamelCase or under_scores or hyphen-ation.

I like comics. I also like comedy. My mind is an absolute fucking mess, full of nonsense, and I have trouble keeping things in order.

I find the best way to deal with it all is to laugh at it.

Mixing it all together, comically cluttered. Amusingly disorganized, both physically and mentally.

Rottcodd is a character in Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast novels. He's the curator of The Hall of Bright Carvings - a sculpture gallery in a far distant corner of the castle that virtually no one ever visits - where he leads a simple and contented life. When he isn't working or loafing about, he spends time observing the distant life of the castle - or what he can see of it at least - through a single tiny window.

For better or worse, I relate...

I didn't ever really have a name for my fursona and then I got my dogs, Kona and Loki. I combined their names and came up with Kolonaki, but then misspelled it when I entered it in something the first time. Now it's Kolanaki.

It kinda sounds Hawaiian (pronounced cola-nah-key). 😋

It's a reference to my favorite author, but using different words to get the same ve sound. So far no one had noticed
