No reason at all, don't worry about it!
Because I'm the assman
Well, obviously Quentin Callaghan isn't my real name. I got this from some online American name generator.
Honestly would've assumed irish
I'm a squirrel
Do you guys secretly run global geopolitics?
Have you played squirrel with a gun
I started out as Ensign Aggravated and rose through the ranks.
That is literally my name. I was never first with that name on any internet service thing so it was a novelty to name myself that.
I got mine from that website childish gambino got his, forgot the website.
Permanently Deleted
I had the intention of dropping in on those 'is it octopodes or octopuses' debates with 'um, actually it's octopeople'. Only I got tired of the joke after the 2nd or 3rd time so there you go.
Ive had that convo on my main lol
It's the great debate of our times
Everypony knows it's actually octopony. Silly goose.
I can't keep up with all these new centaur types
It's my initials.
I get mad sometimes
Thought it said furry, idk which is better
not furry, FURY ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) https://youtu.be/nhbkOZL5gEI?t=28
I'm looking for love
Well you got my attention there
I randomly created it about 25yrs. ago when I was first hanging out on message boards, and I just stuck with it.
My favourite track from the Journey OST by Austin Wintory was titled 'Apotheosis' and I wanted to understand its meaning. I adopted this username as a nod of respect to the game and its soundtrack because of its profound impact on my life.
Wanted to be as unknown as possible on gamefaqs lue board 20 years ago and i have kept it ever since
So steve isnt your real name!
Not even close lol
Because I'm a god in a photon. I am omnipresent for thee. 🐊✨
My username is a portmanteau of words siivu and viipale which are two different types of slices. I'm not sure if English differentiates these two types of slices but siipale is something between those two or both at the same time.
Anyway, in addition to being an interesting portmanteau my username sounds similar to sopuli so it's a perfect fit for Lemmy.
That's cool
Because I saw some stupid movie 22 years ago.
Because I like Doctor Who, and it's just wrong enough in German that it's never really taken by anyone.
I'm a male of Cajun decent who likes tea and gravy.
Vaguely references who i am and I have been using it for a couple years
It was my only non-bot account on this instance which only existed to create communities. My main account's instance closed down so I made this my main.
I haven't posted in !totallynotrobots@lemmy.world which I really should do as it's the perfect username for that community.
Because I'm certain I'm a Ten and what's not to like about tea? But really, all caffeine is good caffeine, and only my partner is giving me a ten on a really good day!
Random noun generator
Randoms represent. I just use a password generator to make me a user and pwd. I'll ditch it in about a year anyway, no point spending any effort.
The thought of it was funny to me.
Is it a the other guys reference?
Surprisingly no, I hadn't seen the movie yet when I came up with it. It was really surreal for me when I saw that scene in the movie.
Well you were right lol. But I have to ask, why 1 instead of l, surely it wasnt taken
Thanks! Glad you think so.
When I was creating the gamertag, someone else had the L version. I was surprised too.
Because analogies are the spice of life.
Because I discovered the Greenday album with the same name as a teenager about the time my family got the internet and also I gave a sleeping disorder. And I’m too lazy and uncreative to think of another.
South Park reference for something I found funny. Not much to it other then that.
Made up the name Pronell Mordini for a MUD called Kaspelheim back in 1994. The game didn't last long but I've used it online since then.
Damn youve got an online persona thats 30 years old! Thats impressive
And it's never taken, so that's a plus.
Although someone else got pronell@gmail.com and I'm a little annoyed.
I am a person that refuses to contain my emotions while gathering entertainment and culture.
My nearly 2m slender cousin "gifted" it to me when we were first time at a internet cafe playing CS. 20 years later I'm still using it and now it fits my body too^^ btw it means fat, thick person
My original gamer tag on Xbox was gameknight named after the Minecraft book series then when I moved to pc the name stuck around for a little bit on steam and eventually I wanted a silly placeholder name so it was SeñorFlipFlop.
Well the most temporary fixes are often the most permanent solutions and with the exception of discord all my usernames now are some variation of flip flop with my gta rockstar name being Flippy-Flopp and planet side being FL1P1E5FL0P
Because the colour of my hair is gold.
Deep cut reference from The Expanse that has personal meaning for me
I used to have a friend who liked to make up stupid names for people... This is one of them.
