Tanith was one of the goa'uld from Stargate SG-1 which I was a huge fan of as a kid. Back then I was not so good at spelling so I sounded it out and kept adding letters until I found a username that wasn't taken

[-] Aagje_D_Vogel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's the name of my pet bird.

It's been my internet identity / haxxorz handle since the 1990s, and the story is about as benign as Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner and his black-and-yellow striped sweater.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It just seemed fitting.

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I guess I’m a sucker for puns.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Am arcane and slimy, was descriptive.

TJA – A German reaction to the apocalypse, dawn of the gods, nuclear war, an alien attack or no bread in the house.

[-] Tempus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It was about time.

[-] FelonMusk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I want to hear from @professionalhandjob!

[-] I_dream_of_pancakes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I was hungry

[-] Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was really craving pancakes with maple syrup, but I was at home without pancake mix or syrup, and everything was closed because it was 3am.

[-] Psyblader@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I like Gallade.

[-] Zyansheep@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Nyan Cat, but different

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Nakari has "existed" since I was a teenager. Started off as a character I used in writing as an outlet, but slowly the name also became a handle for me. Hell, I guess an entire "presence" since it's my go-to for most sites.

Lexfortaine came around because I wanted something vaguely "proper" sounded in a D&D game, and I never actually got around to giving the character Nakari a "canon" last name. It worked well enough for an asspull, and has just been tracked on ever since. Grown to like it, actually. Feels more like a proper name.

[-] Default@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly, Halo 3

[-] CaptainUndebridge@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Everyone gets excited whenever I board a ship

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It’s a thought

[-] Neve8028@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

The Neve 8028 is an amazing mixing console lmao.

[-] zowka@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I made a club penguin account when I was younger and this is the username I use ever since.

I have many thoughts

[-] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It started off on Discord as a joke I no longer remember the context of, and was originally just "PopeJoeI (as in Pope Joe the First)" , and then spread to other areas, like the site formerly known as Twitter.

Then Discord added the crowns to admins and it then became "PopeKingJoe" and that's that.

[-] duckington@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

because of duckington city? shall we? cheers my friends

[-] mrchampion@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Years ago, when I was around 13-14, I wanted a "cool" sounding username, since I was also sick of coming up with usernames for websites. I did some thinking, and came up with "Mr.Champion". Used it ever since.

[-] spaceduck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's such a majestic creature.

[-] Tandybaum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Boom, still got it

[-] hexdream@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Because I had to to create an account...

[-] SilentSeven@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's from a book I like.

[-] Brisolo32@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 year ago

An inside joke

[-] MrSilkworm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Been using it for so long, that I forgot how I chose it

[-] lemonadebunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

At the time I hadn't tried limeade

[-] westyvw@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Because it said I had to?

Or is the question, WHY did I choose THIS username?
