I've got the same one here as on reddit, and on tildes as it happens. It is a variant on a local mythic being in my part of the world.

Mine is a bad pun. It's not even an original pun, but you do need to be pleasantly weird enough to know the source.

I like retro and vintage things.

I don't remember which forum I was on, but it was around the late 2000s. Me and some people were joking around, the subject of wrestling came up, someone asked what Triple H's name stood for, so a bunch of us started making fake answers. I really like one that I said, so I just made it my user name. Haven't really felt the need to change it since.

Incorporates my name with a positive attribute (at least imo), made the mistake at that other site, of a username that was pretty easy to reply 'user name checks out' in a negative connotation, even when asking legit questions or making positive comments. Hoping to get the same reaction on Lemmy but positive this time around!

I had just been to Sonic that week and their best drinks are their limeades. I hate coming up with names for anything, so I went with something simple.

I have no idea what the original words were. But my coworker at an old job had one of those magnet letter boards. I just haphazardly rearranged her note and it became Scrumpf Dabogy. I liked it so much I kept it in my head until I needed it for a new account somewhere.

It's shortened from what I actually wanted, NorthernLightMountain, since that was too long. That in turn is based on the main antagonist (MorningLightMountain) in my favorite book from my favorite author, Peter F. Hamilton.

I live quite far to the north so I figured it would be a nice twist on the name.

Used to go by other handles on other sites but figured I'd start fresh over here.

Still hoping for a change to a bit longer display names. :)

I blurted it out in a chat one day in reference to something, and realizing it would be a clever band name or something... Well when I need a new identity to serve as a vehicle for my current creative output, here we are. I realized that it was at least somewhat clever and oddly not taken anywhere. So I am running with it.

shameless plug: doomcough.bandcamp.com :P

Considering I moved here after deleting my Reddit account, I present to you...

So mine is because of Bell end of year 2022.

As things happens in Ukraine, we had one girl from Kharkov on summer camp. She started dating one friend here and he keeps "dictionary" of things she misspelle.

There is a lot of good usernames there but the plactagonic relationship is my favourite.

it’s the title of a YMO song!

14 year old me thought it was a cool gamertag. 30 year old me still agrees.

I didn't ever really have a name for my fursona and then I got my dogs, Kona and Loki. I combined their names and came up with Kolonaki, but then misspelled it when I entered it in something the first time. Now it's Kolanaki.

It kinda sounds Hawaiian (pronounced cola-nah-key). 😋

Thank you Xbox Live username generator

Awesome things I appreciate and/or identify with:

• cookies
• the blue monster that chomps them down
• cats

Surprisingly, so far my clever play on words has rarely been taken anywhere I signed up, so I use it for any accounts I don't mind being link-able.

In electrical engineering, a thevenin equivalent circuit is a small, simplified circuit that mimics the behavior of a large, complicated one for the purposes of calculation.

Whenever I talk on forums, I make effort to distill ideas that are often nuanced and math-heavy into something everyone can relate to. The thought once struck me that I'm making a thevenin equivalent of myself, and the name stuck.

It's a play on words for my name and generic. If anyone I know sees my username, they won't know it's me lol.

It's just a cool sounding thing from my favorite anime that doesn't scream "I'm a total weaboo," also one of my favorite songs from said anime. (Eureka 7, well the song is from the """"sequel"""" and is one of the few redeeming parts, but anyway...)

Anyone heard of Mitchiri Neko? I want a cat marching band

I chose the username "computerfan" because I'm a fan of computers. Soon I found a website where that username was taken, so I added my (at the time) favourite number to the end and kept it ever since.

It's a reference to my last name, which, at least in the U.S., is much more commonly spelled with an e on the end. I always have to clarify that there's "no e on the end" whenever I give/spell my name to anyone.

I also make no secret of my actual identity and only say things I'd be comfortable saying in person. I know there's some risk of running into a crazy stalker person, but thankfully I haven't dealt with anything like that so far in my Internet years.

I like Oscar Wilde and puns.

The Matrix is one of my fav movies ever. The first one, anyway. That scene where Dissolved Girl by Massive Attack plays, this piece of magic is seen

I've always been small like a rabbit. You should probably follow me, too.

You can probably guess my two favourite indie platformers

neco arc on kbin :D

My is just the name of my fursona. I came up with it years ago by just combining parts of random words until I got something I liked and that was unique.

I used “Saint Derelict” as a pen name for some poetry in high school, then in college I used it without the Saint as a character name in Numenera, and it stuck as a gamer name. I used it here because my other online handles are either unwieldy or name-based and I didn’t want a new one

shortened from username generator name

I was really into Changeling: The Dreaming, cyberpunk, and old DOS 8.3 filenaming back in the day. It just stuck.

Mine is the first name plus last name initial of my OC, whom I renamed after realizing I was trans! So I use it everywhere lol.

It's my name.

It's a tribute to my husband and love for Studio Ghibli movies, specifically Howl's Moving Castle. He is my Howl and I am his Sophie ☺

Mine originally was a reference to an album by Val Emmich, “Slow Down Kid”. I used that for a long time and finally decided that since I’m in my 30s it was time to drop the “kid” part. slowd0wn is now my online/gamer handle and has been for several years

It's the Latin version of my name (which is just a tree), and vox for voice. So, Juniper's Voice. Rather on the nose, but I like it.

Julian Carax, a character in The Shadow of the Wind.

Well, have this thing where I like RnB, and also Perry the Platypus, so boom.

When my wife and I first started dating she called me Bear.

I also like Skyrim.

In Anarchism one of our most influential books is The Conquest of Bread by Pyotr Kropotkin, also known as the Bread book. I needed to burn my old social handles and at the time the anarchist meme sub reddits would call our dank memes yeasty memes (since bread) and so I chose the name AnarchoYeasty
