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. πΆ
My name
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 stole it from some old-timey sailors who were shooting the breeze.
I like mechs
Fellow battletech fan spotted
Makes sense
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 like popcorn and may or may not be royalty..
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 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.

Main character from The Darkness that Comes Before/The Prince of Nothing series by R. Scott Bakker. Liked the character, liked the name, loved the books.
Huge fan of GWAR and always used their lead singers name for online accounts.
Canβt wait until some internet rando types βGWARβ into a search engine and watches a videoβ¦ fantastic.
Easily my favourite band. Seen them in concert many times and it never gets old.
RIP Brockie
By all accounts Brockie had an epic send off. The band did him proud.
wanted a zerg sounding name when I started playing SC2 and then mained terran instead
A half-assed variation of "bah humbug"...
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.
Typing and limited clicking
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'.
If by that you mean the URL one, it's a combination of different anime characters, but if by that you mean the one you see on comments, it's short for the one I've had at birth. You can change how it looks in the account settings.
I used to like soda a lot when I was a kid.
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
I wrote several stories about a gardevoir named Azula.
She then later became my fursona, so the name stuck as a replacement for a past username
I am god. In my language
Mine is inspired by a comic book character I actually got to know through a video game I had tried on my first PC several years ago now.
Minor changes to the random name generator from EvE online and World of Warcrack.
A username I used from other sites.
It's still just random.
