Ask Lemmy

A fairy name generator.

I think mine is kinda obvious but in case it isn't, it's "GNU" in the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet. I got it because I like aviation and Linux... and also because I'm too autistic to get a more normal one

Was my reddit username for ten years. When I joined reddit it was through the swimming sub, looking for info on waterproof MP3 players so I could swim laps while listening to AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Slayer, etc etc. I'm a bogan that swim laps pretty much every day.... therefore waterbogan

I often use mythological characters for online handles I'm not sure I'm going to maintain. I pulled up a Wikipedia list of deities from ancient polytheistic religions, usually looking to the funerary or psychopomp ones first, and created a handful of usernames across a handful of instances. There was no particular reason for this one over others.

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

It was tough, but I squeeked it in just under the wire.

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.

It came from a one-off inside joke with some online friends (I don't remember the context) as PopeJoeI (Pope Joe the First). I eventually embraced it fully and changed all my online handles. At some point, Discord added crowns to server owners where it wasn't immediately obvious who owned it and it evolved into "Pope-King Joe".

I'll let you guess the second half 👍

The first half is actually short for Indigo.

Back in the day my old internet alias was Indigo Michigan. I eventually dropped the Michigan when I became a Brony. "Indigo Brony" didn't really sound great, so I shortened it.

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

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

I was tickled pink about this prehistoric fish that went viral a little while back and I thought I would adopt its name.

I based it of the kid who goes “fahfahfahfah” in the pork chop sandwiches gi joe thing but everyone thinks it’s a reference to Jeff Dunham

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.

i thought that my old username (that i came up with when i was 8 and creating an account for runescape) was too childish.

At some point after i watched donnie darko while being really high. The rest is history

I have plans to find a better one.

Shit!

I got bored of winning all these fuckin accolades for porn.

Then the world started runnin outta french fries and burrito coverins, people starvin and shit.

Enough was enough!

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

I got it from a random generator after I had to change my Minecraft username when I was a kid. Been using it ever since.

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.

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

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

I had a boss back in the day that I had a really good rapport with, and he would jokingly call me Shrek because I was almost a foot taller than he was. I also worked in a lot of restaurants in my late teens to early twenties and found a love for cooking that has never really gone away.

A cheesy 90s drink, they were fun to see how far you could spit the jelly bits, or just a kinda fun drink I rarely saw as a teen. Nothing great but when you lived in the middle of nowhere it didn't take much in the mid 90s to be entertained as a teen.
