My initials are kn, I was 10, and kn10 was taken :p

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I was hoping to be generic. Also, to add to articles and photos on lemmy, I wanted random photos from users. I don't even care what they are. So far I've seen a beautiful landscape.

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

It was a randomly generated name in an MMO I used to play.

[-] MrFlamey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I used to always play Pyro in Team Fortress Classic and would just run around setting people on fire and then running away. It was my only strategy and so I adopted the name.

Because 10 year old me didn't know how to spell in japanese.

[-] KidsTryThisAtHome@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It's a futurama reference. Meant to be anonymous but ended up getting lucky with a lightsaber gig and am now stuck with the name lol. Only unfortunate part is I wish I'd known which account was going to get lucky lol

After one of the best songs from the band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Fun fact: it's also the favorite song of their bassist!

In memory of the Apollo app. RIP.

[-] ToastyToast@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I've been using some form of this name for 10 years. It's a part of me now.

[-] _TK@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

TK is a journalism joke. In that field, placeholder headlines used to commonly be written in as "Headline TK" or "TKTKTK" etc. It comes from back when newspapers were typeset physically before set in lead to be sent to the printer. It is short for To Come. Many editing marks are misspelled on purpose to make them stand out from the final text. "TK" is an unusual pairing of letters, so it stands out.

[-] lunaticneko@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Not calm.

Not typical.

Full cat.

HISSSSSSSSSSS

[-] lustyargonian@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I love reading books

I just think they're neat

[-] Beowulf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Gamertag. My new one at that though

[-] Poggervania@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

It’s an alteration of an older PSN name I used a while back and it has a really nice ring to it.

[-] BiggestBulb@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Discord nickname that originated from OneShot (the game my icon is from). I chose it like 4 or 5 years ago and it stuck on Discord so I just adopted it to here

[-] martinbasic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That references the name of my programming language I first-learned in my entire life.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

My username originally was Emerald_Earth, because I saw the old Lemmy.world logo with the Earth (that had green on it, like am emerald). I switched to Emerald when I realized it was available. Short and sweet.

[-] psud@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

One needs a username. So I chose one that I have used for a long time, which incidentally I couldn't use on Reddit
