I like salamanders. Yours?
i can't tell you the story behind 'leslie' because it's a bit personal, but i always use leslie + some random word :) next time i'll use leslie salamander
That's a good method to come up with unique usernames! Leslie salamander will be a great name ๐ธ
Itโs my fav Pokรฉmon.
Reddit automatic username generator.
Seriously.
It's Dutch for handle, because this is my online handle. That's really all there is to it.
flbn is shorthand for fleabane, my favorite flower. it's a bit of a shitter and most people would consider it a weed; i've always been fond of the little guys though. i also just happen to think flea and bane are both kinda cool names.
It's the username Aaron Swartz used when he got got caught downloading data from Elsevier.
Whoa nice, had no idea
Yeah, it appears in the film "The Internet's Own Boy".
By the way, his username was not "ๆ๏ผ๏ผใ๏ผฎ๏ผฏ๏ผญ๏ผก๏ผค" but rather my real username gary_host_laptop, so he used it twice I think but in a different way which was "Ghost_laptop", omitting "ary".
so based
Gracias
I must honestly confess that I have absolutely no clue what I was thinking 21 years ago when I thought of the name.
Won't say exactly as it slightly relates to the offline me, but one neat thing about it is that I have it since my brother created a ClubPenguin account for me, back in 2005 hehe
It's part of an e-mail alias randomly generated by the SimpleLogin service.
According to Wikipedia, it's used as a term for shallow marine sediment that contains noticeable quantities of rounded greenish grains
When I was a kid, I supposed that is the correct way of writing Miguel (my real name) in English ๐คฃ
An American name generator.
I listen to music a lot, and I do like all the stuff related to encoding and decoding multimedia filetypes.
Mine's a dorky parody of Abigail Shapiro (Ben Shapiro's sister)'s youtube channel Classically Abby
oh lord that channel is so bad. Also they advertised it heavily but it was all downvoted
Itโs an abbreviated version of an old username of mine from when I was 11 or so back in the mid 2000s.
That username was a play on my first name with several extra Oโs lol.
56 is the best number. I have no idea when or why I decided that.
But your username is 710998587804863451854045647463724949736497978881168458687447040000000000000?

I recently picked up mushroom id as a hobby lol
I guess I'm one of the only few Indos here (at best), also this is a lefty forum, hence my name: YourPKIPoster. (PKI being the name of the communist party of which was once used to be legal, but now banned. It's crucial for the left in my country back then.)
Well, my username was automatically generated. When I was playing on my Xbox 360, I created an Xbox Live account to play with my friends. I didn't know what name to make up to be recognized, so I used the name generator they had and adopted it. From then on, I started using IngrownMink4 username as a "universal" username in all my social networks.
A few year ago, I needed a cool looking nickname. And... Idk how I ended being a dinosaur.
When I created my instance (midwest.social) I accidentally ran the DB script without changing the name of the admin so it's lemmy and I'm not sure how to fix it. I guess I'll have to do a DB insert of some kind, but my display name is seahorse, which is a play on words of my name in real life. Hint: my nickname in life is CJ.
A song from LIVING THINGS, which is a LINKIN PARK's album where everything's written in ALL CAPS. I always feel writing in ALL CAPS is so rude, as if I'm yelling. But if I were to talk about this album, it's an excuse for me to write in ALL CAPS.
But specifically LIES GREED MISERY, because I just like it. Mike Shinoda says it sounds like a party music, back when it has no lyrics. But with the lyrics sung on top of the music, I'd describe the song to be like "It's a party song. Partying while having people choking themselves to death by their lies, swallow up their greed, and suffer all alone in their misery. A fun party"
To know the cute furry community in the Fediverse and taking advantage of my profile picture generated with drawings of David Revoy.
I knew I've seen variants of that avatar around!
i like tech and mr.beast. So I combined them together and voila... the_tech_beast ๐๐
I kept on generating random usernames on Windscribe until I got one I liked. A lot of websites limit the length though, so Developer becomes Dev.
Usually you make a new account on social media and all the good names are taken. But here, there's only a few thousand users so most are up for grabs.
So I wanted to take advantage of that and choose a really short and simple name like "Jim" or "Bob" cause it becomes sort of prestigious to own that when more usernames are used up.
I remembered on YouTube some accounts were named "bleach" with a picture of bleach as the profile pic, so I tried that. But just by chance, that one was already in use here. Eventually I came up with a similar idea to be "gun" and I like it better cause its funny

I was looking for an (originally one off) username for online services that I don't particularly want to be outright connected to my real identity, and I don't like making usernames that actually mean things, so I found this adorable sounding little three letter one. It's unsearchable in the web due to being so short and common, but it's surprisingly often still free.
CentOS on my server.
Grace. Elle est moi.
My username comes from people who, for what ever reason discourage my opinions...I would hear, "stopit, stopit"...keep repeating anytime I would voice a non-popular opinion or do something that shouldn't effect anyone other than myself...rather than hate it, I decided to reclaim it (like many of my peers do with removed), so I decided to use "stopit" for my username...surprisingly on other sites, it has been already taken :( so much for this old man being original...but I tried and I am "stopit" here. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
****This is an edit...I referenced a derogatory name towards gay people in my post...I am gay, an don't think I used the f word inappropriately, but it got removed, right away (without anyone looking at context). I am not sure how I feel about that right now...but overall I do appreciate this site.
