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

[–] 0x30507DE@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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

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

Makes sense

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

[–] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

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

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Keys on a qwerty keyboard.

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'.

[–] Alchalide@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months 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.

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

Typing and limited clicking

[–] hasecilu@lemm.ee 2 points 9 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. 🎶

[–] RoseRose56@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

A resemblance to Ming the Merciless in Flash Gordon. It's my nickname amongst my friends and round the pub (some of whom don't know my birth name) to the point you could go into my local and ask for the Emperor and someone would point you in the eight direction. So when I signed up online, it made sense to use this name and it has since became my nom-de-plume and is, in effect, my Common Law name.

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Random word generator.

[–] BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months 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.

[–] PixeIOrange@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

My xbox Gamer tag was oXOrangeBudXo because i was very cool and unique and just started smoking weed. I then went normal and was OrangeBud in different ways. Then Orange because i didnt smoke anymore. And then PixelOrange because i like the pixels. And if that name is taken, its PixeIOrange with upper i.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] sailormoon@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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

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

My dad didn't know my birthday.

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

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

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

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

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

[–] SundryTornAsunder 1 points 9 months ago

A sundry, torn asunder.

[–] Presi300@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

no idea, it's a part of my name and the number 300... yeah

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

I'll give you one more guess...
