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 9 months ago

I just really like the character.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago

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

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 2 points 9 months 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 9 months ago

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

[–] Popsip@pawb.social 2 points 9 months 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 9 months ago

Fellow battletech fan spotted

[–] lyth@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months 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

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months 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 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months 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 8 months 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 8 months ago

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

[–] hasecilu@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months 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 8 months ago

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

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

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

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

[–] SundryTornAsunder@lemmy.today 1 points 9 months ago

A sundry, torn asunder.

[–] GregorTacTac@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

I was playing a silly game online and I was so good at it I was basically stomping other players. Tac tac is how we describe the sound of walking loudly in Slovene (there are other ways to describe it: lomastiti, topotati...) and so I combined my name (Gregor) with tac tac and GregorTacTac became my username almost everywere.

[–] IzNoGud78@feddit.it 1 points 9 months 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.

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

My dad didn't know my birthday.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months 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.

[–] TheWoozy@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

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