Name of my favourite novel.
childhood memory i guess
Math was my favorite subject in school, and I think that adding the phrase "after dark" to something made it sound cooler. So I combined the two to create my username.
EDIT: my display name (not username) is the exact opposite of the display name I used on aliensite
Random word plus random number after it. I decided I needed to be a little more careful with my info.
That actually makes me a little sad. I thought you were a Charlie Chaplin fan.

I asked chatgpt for generated usernames, and this was one that I liked
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.
Very vaguely related related to my old reddit dead name.
Ok, I'll bite. What was your Reddit username based on?
Because Ganondorf should have been a clone of Samus in Smash Bros Melee, not Captain Falcon. At the time, his one appearance (Ocarina of Time) had him using a projectile-focused moveset. This would have inevitably given him morph ball motions (down-B and roll), which would have ultimately been swapped out, but it's a fun thought that it would have been like that during part of development.
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.
I like Doctor Who and it comes from my favourite season with my favourite companion.

I live on South End and I love sunsets…combined, it makes no fucking sense.
Crunchyroll autogenerated it. I liked it.
It's a variation on what my wife calls me. It's been my username on forums and such for a long time.
Been using this user name since I made a PSN account when I was 12 lol
My friends name is Nick and was thinking about him when I came up with this name. Also wanted a cool unique name like my brothers came up with for their gamer tags.
Because The Doors is my favorite band.
Fan of The Arsenal.
I lost my username once and couldn't recover the account
Because this was my username on reddit before I deleted my account, and I don't have the creativity to think of something else
ummm I was you know...
It's like shootin' the breeze, but old time sailor-y.
Controversial
Wind... fire... All that kind of thing.
A weird set of events. First I just wanted to sign up on SDF Public access UNIX system but I didn't want to waste my username for testing it out in case I did something wrong. So I went with user224. However a good user named xiled verified that account for me so I stuck with that username.
Later SDF posted on Twitter about running their own Lemmy instance, and since I didn't yet know what Lemmy was, I used the same username. Slowly I made comments and posts locking myself into the stupid "user224" username. And I can't change it.
Came to me in a dream
I get mad sometimes
