Typing and limited clicking

[-] hasecilu@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

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. 🎶

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

A half-assed variation of "bah humbug"...

[-] Popsip@pawb.social 2 points 9 months ago

I used to like soda a lot when I was a kid.

Makes sense

I stole it from some old-timey sailors who were shooting the breeze.

I just really like the character.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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.

Not allowed to answer this question

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.

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.

[-] zxqwas@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Keys on a qwerty keyboard.

[-] 0x30507DE@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Combined a few numbers that are meaningful to me, turned it into hex, and here we are.

[-] sailormoon@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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

[-] PixeIOrange@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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.

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

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Random word generator.

[-] TheWoozy@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

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

[-] konalt@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Took the windows shortcut "Control-Alt-Delete", removed the delete and trol, and replaced the c with a k

[-] GregorTacTac@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] darreninthenet@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

I'll give you one more guess...

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Minor changes to the random name generator from EvE online and World of Warcrack.

[-] XTL@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

It's still just random.

[-] Presi300@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

no idea, it's a part of my name and the number 300... yeah

[-] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

My dad didn't know my birthday.
