Ask Lemmy

I like mechs

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. It's the name of an optional NPC that writes you a few letters and then dies. He has no relevancy at all, but I like him. Based on where you are, he may be written without the 'r'.

Trimmed down version of my 'sona's full name "lythlphene" which I came up with kinda randomly in a weird creative mood early in the morning, it's intended to mean something like "earthy creature". I decided that I shouldn't change or tweak it afterwards since I would have just kept overthinking it and never been satisfied

I had to make a new name for the then brand new game: league of legends. I was high af and came up with this. Inspired by boss names in wow I guess.

I like popcorn and may or may not be royalty..

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

my dad came up with it on his own and I adopted it

I mostly enjoy but not competitive online player from UO and Everquest era so I tired of typing good game no re do

It's a drink that makes you feel good and I drink a lot of it

I wanted to upgrade my cringy username and realized it was very hard to choose something, after a while I decided to do the same thing Seba Jun (rest in beats) made for its stage name. 🎶

I am the pretty Guardian in a sailor suit who fights for love and justice!!!

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.

I like penguins and 90s nostalgia. It's a Legends of the Hidden Temple fake team name.

Could I have gone for the alliteration? Perhaps. But Purple Parrots already existed. And I don't like pink.

As with all my online accounts:

• Visit a name generator website.
• Find one that doesn't suck.
• Check if it's available.
• Here we are.

And each has a different email address. I hope adtech loves me. 😁

I learned how to solve a Rubik's cube and figured I could make a username out of it.

Plus, it doubles as a reference to a pixel on a screen and I'm a security engineer, so... It kinda works both ways.

Typing and limited clicking

A resemblance to Ming the Merciless in Flash Gordon. It's my nickname amongst my friends and round the pub (some of whom don't know my birth name) to the point you could go into my local and ask for the Emperor and someone would point you in the eight direction. So when I signed up online, it made sense to use this name and it has since became my nom-de-plume and is, in effect, my Common Law name.

I just really like the character.

pewgar is my defacto English name and seemsimandroid was my previous Reddit username but i couldn't put a slash so i put a underscore

My dad didn't know my birthday.

It's vaguely related to my old reddit user name.

It's supposed to sound like "pattern" and was meant to evoke that. It's meant to refer to sort of "patterns in life", a sort of interconnectedness that binds us all together and these universal experiences that we all seem to share. Or something like that. There's probably already a word for it, but whatever, it's what I've been using for internet ages now.

I was playing a silly game online and I was so good at it I was basically stomping other players. Tac tac is how we describe the sound of walking loudly in Slovene (there are other ways to describe it: lomastiti, topotati...) and so I combined my name (Gregor) with tac tac and GregorTacTac became my username almost everywere.

I'll give you one more guess...

I am god. In my language
