[-] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 7 points 10 months ago

Well, obviously Quentin Callaghan isn't my real name. I got this from some online American name generator.

[-] PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 months ago

Honestly would've assumed irish

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

That is literally my name. I was never first with that name on any internet service thing so it was a novelty to name myself that.

[-] PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 months ago

I got mine from that website childish gambino got his, forgot the website.

[-] kilodelta@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

It's my initials.

[-] octoperson@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

I had the intention of dropping in on those 'is it octopodes or octopuses' debates with 'um, actually it's octopeople'. Only I got tired of the joke after the 2nd or 3rd time so there you go.

[-] PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

Ive had that convo on my main lol

[-] octoperson@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

It's the great debate of our times

[-] PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 months ago

[-] MxRemy@lemmy.one 7 points 10 months ago

Well as luck would have it, that kinda totally works out... 😅

[-] PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

Thought it said furry, idk which is better

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago

My favourite track from the Journey OST by Austin Wintory was titled 'Apotheosis' and I wanted to understand its meaning. I adopted this username as a nod of respect to the game and its soundtrack because of its profound impact on my life.

[-] Steveanonymous@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Wanted to be as unknown as possible on gamefaqs lue board 20 years ago and i have kept it ever since

[-] PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

So steve isnt your real name!

[-] Steveanonymous@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Not even close lol

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I randomly created it about 25yrs. ago when I was first hanging out on message boards, and I just stuck with it.

[-] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Because analogies are the spice of life.

[-] Vengefu1Tuna@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

The thought of it was funny to me.

[-] PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

Well you were right lol. But I have to ask, why 1 instead of l, surely it wasnt taken

[-] Vengefu1Tuna@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks! Glad you think so.

When I was creating the gamertag, someone else had the L version. I was surprised too.

[-] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 3 points 10 months ago

It was my only non-bot account on this instance which only existed to create communities. My main account's instance closed down so I made this my main.

I haven't posted in !totallynotrobots@lemmy.world which I really should do as it's the perfect username for that community.

[-] tetrachromacy@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Because I'm a god in a photon. I am omnipresent for thee. 🐊✨

I'm a male of Cajun decent who likes tea and gravy.

[-] Wasabi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

Because I saw some stupid movie 22 years ago.

[-] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Vaguely references who i am and I have been using it for a couple years

[-] SirTenTea@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Because I'm certain I'm a Ten and what's not to like about tea? But really, all caffeine is good caffeine, and only my partner is giving me a ten on a really good day!

[-] DerArzt@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Because I like Doctor Who, and it's just wrong enough in German that it's never really taken by anyone.

[-] siipale@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

My username is a portmanteau of words siivu and viipale which are two different types of slices. I'm not sure if English differentiates these two types of slices but siipale is something between those two or both at the same time.

Anyway, in addition to being an interesting portmanteau my username sounds similar to sopuli so it's a perfect fit for Lemmy.

[-] PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

That's cool

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I am a person that refuses to contain my emotions while gathering entertainment and culture.

[-] insomniac@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Because I discovered the Greenday album with the same name as a teenager about the time my family got the internet and also I gave a sleeping disorder. And I’m too lazy and uncreative to think of another.

[-] Tolstoy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

My nearly 2m slender cousin "gifted" it to me when we were first time at a internet cafe playing CS. 20 years later I'm still using it and now it fits my body too^^ btw it means fat, thick person

[-] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

My original gamer tag on Xbox was gameknight named after the Minecraft book series then when I moved to pc the name stuck around for a little bit on steam and eventually I wanted a silly placeholder name so it was SeñorFlipFlop.

Well the most temporary fixes are often the most permanent solutions and with the exception of discord all my usernames now are some variation of flip flop with my gta rockstar name being Flippy-Flopp and planet side being FL1P1E5FL0P
