Random word plus random number after it. I decided I needed to be a little more careful with my info.

It's the generated handle of my reddit account and I was happy with it because its a good name and it's over here.
It's like shootin' the breeze, but old time sailor-y.
A Tek chip was the delivery mechanism for the VR drugs from the William Shatner authored TekWar books.
I have no clue.
Math was my favorite subject in school, and I think that adding the phrase "after dark" to something made it sound cooler. So I combined the two to create my username.
EDIT: my display name (not username) is the exact opposite of the display name I used on aliensite
yeaahhh unsure if i want to answer that...
A weird set of events. First I just wanted to sign up on SDF Public access UNIX system but I didn't want to waste my username for testing it out in case I did something wrong. So I went with user224. However a good user named xiled verified that account for me so I stuck with that username.
Later SDF posted on Twitter about running their own Lemmy instance, and since I didn't yet know what Lemmy was, I used the same username. Slowly I made comments and posts locking myself into the stupid "user224" username. And I can't change it.
Very vaguely related related to my old reddit dead name.
Ok, I'll bite. What was your Reddit username based on?
No one ever has had the user in anything I participate in
From an old clip that played on a radio station back home "Sittin' on the porch with my ol' lady, eatin' a ham-sammich"
My name is dedicated to the Nine-Tailed Fox from League, who she is my main in Wild Rift.
PS: I haven't played Wild Rift after I felt tired of getting tilted in Ranked.
It's the name of my pet bird.
Someone on reddit a long time ago said, look at the item to your right, that's your new username, what is it? It was before I had ever made an account so I took that as time to make one. I was at work so a bag of plasma was there. Done deal.
I get mad sometimes
Name of my favourite novel.
Because Ganondorf should have been a clone of Samus in Smash Bros Melee, not Captain Falcon. At the time, his one appearance (Ocarina of Time) had him using a projectile-focused moveset. This would have inevitably given him morph ball motions (down-B and roll), which would have ultimately been swapped out, but it's a fun thought that it would have been like that during part of development.
It's been my internet identity / haxxorz handle since the 1990s, and the story is about as benign as Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner and his black-and-yellow striped sweater.
I like Gallade.
I used this name for a specific purpose, then that purpose became irrelevant. With the API fubar, I ditched both of my profile names though this does bone one purpose of one of the old aliases (for my NSFW work) so I may end up bringing it back in some form. I like this name better though.
Nyan Cat, but different
Because it's mine and it was available.
I'm not creative so I've been using a name generator site for a few years that works well for me. When I want to mix it up and get a new username I set the name length to 9 chars max, select a base word I like and let the generator do its thing. I make sure the name is available on the handful of sites I use and we're good to go.
