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.

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.

[–] CharlesReed@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I just really like the character.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

my dad came up with it on his own and I adopted it

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Main character from The Darkness that Comes Before/The Prince of Nothing series by R. Scott Bakker. Liked the character, liked the name, loved the books.

[–] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Popsip@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

Makes sense

[–] havokdj@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Fellow battletech fan spotted

[–] lyth@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

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

Not allowed to answer this question

[–] kava@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

It was my username on my porn account on Reddit. I derived it from my not porn account that I also used for other things and people IRL knew. I ended up using this one way more so kept it when Reddit banned me and I came over here.

[–] Oderus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Huge fan of GWAR and always used their lead singers name for online accounts.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can’t wait until some internet rando types “GWAR” into a search engine and watches a video… fantastic.

[–] Oderus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Easily my favourite band. Seen them in concert many times and it never gets old.

RIP Brockie

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

By all accounts Brockie had an epic send off. The band did him proud.

[–] hasecilu@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years 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. 🎶

[–] 0x30507DE@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I like popcorn and may or may not be royalty..

[–] Brewchin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

As with all my online accounts:

  • Visit a name generator website.
  • Find one that doesn't suck.
  • Check if it's available.
  • Here we are.

And each has a different email address. I hope adtech loves me. 😁

[–] SundryTornAsunder@lemmy.today 1 points 2 years ago

A sundry, torn asunder.

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

My dad didn't know my birthday.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

It's the name of my sona, as well as the species. "Arx" came from one of my previous usernames which was railroad related (I'm a railfan, and went by RxR). My friends started calling me Rx, which then became Arx. "CyberWolf" comes from my fursona being cyberpunk themed, with cybernetic augmentation. Hence, Cyber Wolf.

pewgar is my defacto English name and seemsimandroid was my previous Reddit username but i couldn't put a slash so i put a underscore

[–] IzNoGud78@feddit.it 1 points 2 years ago

Mine is inspired by a comic book character I actually got to know through a video game I had tried on my first PC several years ago now.

[–] TheWoozy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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