My username? Cuz I've had it since like 2003 or so, possibly even earlier. I'm a simple man, I like consistency.

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

Don't you worry people will be able to find what you were up to elsewhere in the past?

It started off on Discord as a joke I no longer remember the context of, and was originally just "PopeJoeI (as in Pope Joe the First)" , and then spread to other areas, like the site formerly known as Twitter.

Then Discord added the crowns to admins and it then became "PopeKingJoe" and that's that.

I made a club penguin account when I was younger and this is the username I use ever since.

[–] lunaticneko@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Not calm.

Not typical.

Full cat.

HISSSSSSSSSSS

[–] Default@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly, Halo 3

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

Nakari has "existed" since I was a teenager. Started off as a character I used in writing as an outlet, but slowly the name also became a handle for me. Hell, I guess an entire "presence" since it's my go-to for most sites.

Lexfortaine came around because I wanted something vaguely "proper" sounded in a D&D game, and I never actually got around to giving the character Nakari a "canon" last name. It worked well enough for an asspull, and has just been tracked on ever since. Grown to like it, actually. Feels more like a proper name.

I just like dogs...

"All the things that used to be inside of me, now they're outside... But the inside of me is empty."

I came up with it when I created my second acc on Reddit; I didn't want to spend time thinking of a username so I just thought of the first two words that described my mood at the time and went with it. It means "melancholic potato", I like how dumb it sounds

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

WoW forums name. (Night Shift represent!)

I have many thoughts

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

It’s a thought

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Cool hobby from my past ….. plus for whatever reason lemmy didn’t like my generated username and I gave up

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

TJA – A German reaction to the apocalypse, dawn of the gods, nuclear war, an alien attack or no bread in the house.

Don't have the best internet and my favorite video game franchise is Metal Gear.

[–] ConstipatedWatson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Well, I'm waiting to drop a standard line that can be deduced from my username, but I still haven't landed a good post to do so...

Also, I wanted it to be disjoint from my former Reddit usernames

Wanted to be crass and nerdy, simultaneously.

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

I love the movie.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I guess I’m a sucker for puns.

I was hungry

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

What if Carl’s Jr. had a son

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

I thought my name in English meant "John Savior", so I just decided to make my online alias "JohnSavour", but for some reason I elongated it to "JohnSaveourSocks".

(Turns out it actually means John Servant, so "JohnServesYou" would've been more accurate.)

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

In memory of the Apollo app. RIP.

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

It was a randomly generated name in an MMO I used to play.

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

I'm your best friend.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

My name is the spell that I can cast in real life. Not as good as a real Muscle Wizard's, but it's something

[–] Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was really craving pancakes with maple syrup, but I was at home without pancake mix or syrup, and everything was closed because it was 3am.

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

It's a futurama reference. Meant to be anonymous but ended up getting lucky with a lightsaber gig and am now stuck with the name lol. Only unfortunate part is I wish I'd known which account was going to get lucky lol

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

It was about time.

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

Am arcane and slimy, was descriptive.

[–] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Would be a very long comment but it's a reference Black Kettle's betrayal and murder by General Custer.

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

Old internet nickname, back in the MSN Messenger days.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I combined my dog's names (Kona and Loki) but fucked it up the first time I ever used it as a username. It was supposed to be "Kolonaki" taking the first two letters of Kona and the first two of Loki then alternating in the second half of both. KoLoNaKi. But I accidentally entered "KolAnaki" and just ran with it.

I liked it so much, I made it my fursona's name since before that name was just "Raccoon."
