Because it works

[-] Nika03@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't really remember, but it's short - 4 letters, 2 syllables and it's a real name. It's not my real name though and yes, people love referring to that n-word when they see my username. I have it for years and I don't regret it.

I'll give you one guess...

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Why?

Because one was required.

When?

2001, heading to Assembly '01, a large LAN event in Helsinki.

Or was it '02?

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

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

I did

Someone on reddit a long time ago said, look at the item to your right, that's your new username, what is it? It was before I had ever made an account so I took that as time to make one. I was at work so a bag of plasma was there. Done deal.

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

I have no clue.

[-] Samsqantxh@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

Autocorrect kinda fudged mine up and I said go it.

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

Because it's mine and it was available.

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

No one ever has had the user in anything I participate in

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

It's a reference to age of empires 2. My favorite game during my childhood.

[-] 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.)

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.

My name is dedicated to the Nine-Tailed Fox from League, who she is my main in Wild Rift.

PS: I haven't played Wild Rift after I felt tired of getting tilted in Ranked.

[-] 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.

[-] 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).

[-] 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.

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

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

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

I actually forgot why

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

A Tek chip was the delivery mechanism for the VR drugs from the William Shatner authored TekWar books.

[-] deanne@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

i saw it somewhere, and i liked the name. it's simple and good and i use it everywhere even though i'm a male

I'm anxious. And a furry. OwO (but shyly)
