It's a portmanteau of federation and degenerate. This account was going to be a porn account and I am a degenerate.

Named after Jubei Kibagami of Ninja Scroll, first anime movie I ever watched. The 08 was my jersey number when I played soccer.

Ninja Scroll

It was tough, but I squeeked it in just under the wire.

I don't remember where my name came from but maybe it's a variation off the NES game The Astyanax

It's just a name I put into a BBS when I signed up 35ish years ago and I've used everywhere since.

It was my username on my porn account on Reddit. I derived it from my not porn account that I also used for other things and people IRL knew. I ended up using this one way more so kept it when Reddit banned me and I came over here.

Had it for forty years, it was my CB radio call sign.

Resol = bunch of jumbled letters that are completely meaningless, but can be interpreted as either the first 5 letters of "resolution", or the backwards spelling of "loser"

van = Dutch word meaning "of" or "from"

Lemmy = this is insanely obvious

It makes me seem like someone from Belgium/the Netherlands, but to be honest, this is not my legal name, nor am I from these countries (I would like to live in Belgium, though), I'm actually from... ugh, Morocco.

I was originally called deadlok, it was a gaming name I came up with when I was 10 and stuck to it other than contracting it a bit.

I have always loved magic/mages/wizards/locks/witches/shamans in video games. When you have to make tons of alt accounts on MMOs or RPGs everytime i did another mage playthrough I started coming up with names for the memes. Some were okay, some were bad.

When I went to do a hardcore playthrough of a game and was trying to think of a "sweaty" (sweaty being someone who puts in a lot of effort, for those unaware) pun, sweatyfireballs was born. I was so proud of if it, it became my new go to user name over my long running previous name that I came up with for my mage on vanilla wow. I peaked that day.

my friend's username started with "int" and I wanted a similar username, and interstellar sounded cool (I was also 12 when I made it) and then I added a 1 because interstellar was taken

Axollo - Moonstruck and replaced the letters.
My earlier name was childhood cringe.

One of my favourite characters from a book.

I like glitchy stuff, and I had friends who added "-ington" to everything for laughs.

Mine is an old Black Crusade character name. The original Xariphon was a scholar-warrior.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It used to be the name of my character back when I played DnD, and the very origin was some online dwarvish names generator.

It's my lizard's name

Back in the olden days I played Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast at a buddys home. I didn't have a username for online play and I think he had gotten his from a Majoras Mask guide, so I flipped through it and randomly chose Gibdos. It's been my one and only username for over 20 years now.

I eat a lot of pasta

I had a boss back in the day that I had a really good rapport with, and he would jokingly call me Shrek because I was almost a foot taller than he was. I also worked in a lot of restaurants in my late teens to early twenties and found a love for cooking that has never really gone away.

Combined a few numbers that are meaningful to me, turned it into hex, and here we are.

I used the username blackandred56, until one day I used blackrose56, and since then it's blackrose56 or roserose56. I just liked rose.

My xbox Gamer tag was oXOrangeBudXo because i was very cool and unique and just started smoking weed. I then went normal and was OrangeBud in different ways. Then Orange because i didnt smoke anymore. And then PixelOrange because i like the pixels. And if that name is taken, its PixeIOrange with upper i.
