Ask Lemmy

Every time I go to make a new username I just choose the first 2 words that come to mind

Display Name is because the Earth part of a Universe Simulator program run on a windows 11 machine and the Earth.exe process crashed, which is why we have assassination attempts, felon president, CEO getting shot, random coup attempt in South Korea. The Simulation program just spews random plotlines without the Earth.exe process to fine-tune it. Its basically telling AI to draw human hands, it keeps making no sense.

Less common anglicisation of Samyaza, first amongst the nephilim; a group of Angels that fell by marrying human women and teaching them knowledge.

Yes I am clearly a bit pretentious.

What about you pip? My first thought was the main character of Kid Icarus.

Just needed a name and combined a word with an animal

Sometimes I get kinda pedantic.

When i joined the fediverse I decided to make a break from my old usernames.

Someone else took karl first and I want to know which one of you it was

Star Wars Galaxies I was on a red wine kick at the time and had found Ecco Domani to be a good low priced red. I meeded a character name for SWG so I looked up "to seize" in Italian to make "seize tomorrow".

It's actually "squeeze tomorrow" or "tighten tomorrow" and should have been "cogliere il domani" which is cooler. But c'est la vie, or questa è la vita.

I enjoyed The Talos Principle. And the messages in that world seemed about as real as you guys. I mean that in an endearing way

I asked Dr GPT for a list of nouns and adjectives with a particular theme and picked some I liked and combined them. I do the same process for all my digital identities.

Kona + Loki + accidentally changing an O to an A = Kolanaki

And then it turns out, it's also the name of a place in Greece.

Shakespeare and Serious Sam.

Ranidaphobic; but going with Frog-Man was a too on the nose rip off of Bat-Man (and it’s taken anyway).

I'm fatigued in more ways than one and people joke that I'm fae because I'm allergic to metal.

Used to live in Norway when I joined reddit, and the whole Norse lore resonated with me. Back then I had a number attached, that wasn't needed on Lemmy anymore.

I liked playing tachanka on R6, tht is short for TheHolyTachanka

I have no imagination and my legal name is Tanis Nikana.

It scans like a username when it’s all lower case and jammed together though.

My husband’s nickname for me. I was born in the holler in Appalachia and am a woodsy pixie. It stuck and is now my trail name.

Bernards letter

Bit warden made it for me

Mothman+StarWars+Back to the Future

Mine comes from the intro to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

I was promoted from the rank of Commander.

I was eating something when I made the account. Make a wild guess what it might have been.

Just a greeting used in an RPG I really liked. As pretty much the only formal greeting in its setting, it seemed very overused, so a friend and I started using it in our friend group as a meme, and I decided that it actually goes pretty hard as a username.

I love airplanes and was excited to see a “modern” one where you could slide back the canopy just like in all those old WWII movies! It’s even ok to fly with it open (a little)!

M is the letter my real name starts with, and 137 has been my favourite number since I was a kid, and I still think is the coolest number (has nothing to do with 1337, as some people have previously thought).

Tally Hall (band) → callyral (pseudonym + username) → cally (nickname)
