Came to me in a dream

Controversial

[-] heckillwingit@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I was trying to figure out a username for another social media, and landed on this one after trying weird combinations of my name and birth year, none of which I like. Afterwards, it just stuck around because I became my life motto for many things as well.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

It's like shootin' the breeze, but old time sailor-y.

[-] 6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Wind... fire... All that kind of thing.

[-] GyozaPower@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wanted something not related to my other usernames and I fucking love gyozas

[-] MrCrankyBastard@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I used this name for a specific purpose, then that purpose became irrelevant. With the API fubar, I ditched both of my profile names though this does bone one purpose of one of the old aliases (for my NSFW work) so I may end up bringing it back in some form. I like this name better though.

[-] tomkatt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a variation on what my wife calls me. It's been my username on forums and such for a long time.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I just used the name I use on Discord and a few others places.

It was originally Toothless_NEO and still is on Reddit, Steam, and for some reason matrix but I changed it everywhere else I could because an asshole was harassing me and encouraging other people to harass me (had to actually pay money to change it in some places, Xbox live makes you pay to change your username).

I get mad sometimes

[-] Icaria@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Used to play a lot of games, some sci-fi, some fantasy... was lazy and didn't like having to come up with multiple names. It just kinda stuck.

[-] flameguy21@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Been using this user name since I made a PSN account when I was 12 lol

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 5 months ago

Someone once told me "pick two words and a number"

I did

[-] camillaSinensis@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Because The Doors is my favorite band.

[-] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I like Doctor Who and it comes from my favourite season with my favourite companion.

Fan of The Arsenal.

[-] UsernameLost@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I lost my username once and couldn't recover the account

[-] Buelldozer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's a reference to Buell Motorcycles and their tractor like engines.

[-] Historical_General@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It's the generated handle of my reddit account and I was happy with it because its a good name and it's over here.

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It's a long convoluted story but when I was a teen (I'm 46 now) I created a series of designs I called "earthbound angel" over the years it morphed to whoisearth.

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Did you post those designs anywhere?

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Nah they're in a binder somewhere in my house for posterity lol. They were as good as you would expect from a 14 year old in 1991.

[-] Arinshot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I asked chatgpt for generated usernames, and this was one that I liked

[-] JohnSaveourSocks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I thought my name in English meant "John Savior", so I just decided to make my online alias "JohnSavour", but for some reason I elongated it to "JohnSaveourSocks".

(Turns out it actually means John Servant, so "JohnServesYou" would've been more accurate.)

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

I have no clue.

[-] limelight79@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Random word plus random number after it. I decided I needed to be a little more careful with my info.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That actually makes me a little sad. I thought you were a Charlie Chaplin fan.
