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

[–] Popsip@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

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

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

RIP Brockie

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

[–] BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. It's the name of an optional NPC that writes you a few letters and then dies. He has no relevancy at all, but I like him. Based on where you are, he may be written without the 'r'.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

wanted a zerg sounding name when I started playing SC2 and then mained terran instead

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

I had to make a new name for the then brand new game: league of legends. I was high af and came up with this. Inspired by boss names in wow I guess.

[–] CharlesReed@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I just really like the character.

[–] RoseRose56@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I used the username blackandred56, until one day I used blackrose56, and since then it's blackrose56 or roserose56. I just liked rose.

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

[–] ggnoredo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I mostly enjoy but not competitive online player from UO and Everquest era so I tired of typing good game no re do

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

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

I'll give you one more guess...

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

[–] TheWoozy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] SundryTornAsunder@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

A sundry, torn asunder.

[–] IzNoGud78@feddit.it 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] konalt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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