I like the Longest Johns who wrote a song called Moby Duck, and I also like Radio Caroline a group of old-school offshore pirate radio enthusiasts set to be the last British radio station left on AM pretty soon, they broadcast on 648 kHz.

I wanted a username that would be googleproof

For whatever reasons my friends were messing around giving each other weird nicknames and I ended up with metal toilet (we had just been in a gas station that must’ve had a metal toilet). I tried it out I a couple things and it’s stuck since.

means frog

I am a fan of Gene Wolfe's books, especially The Book of the New Sun. The main character of the books is named Severian, who claims he has ''perfect memory'' (or how he remembers things the way he prefers it)

It was the closest object to me when I needed a username several years ago.

My full name is Amanda and my gf nicknamed me Mandy, so henceforth that is all I shall be

Been using the handle for years since I started it in World of Warcraft. Just stuck with me.

My old Ultima Online character's name was Tintagel (like the castle from Arthurian legend). I used LadyTintagel as a username for a long time, and eventually it was shortened to just Tin.

In French the word "Didascalie" is used for stage directions, often scribbled in the edges of a play, oftentimes by the author. "Les" indicates a plural, so my name would read "Les didascalies", or "the author's notes".

It pronounces basically the same as Lady Dascalie, hence where the name came from.

I thought of an username made up of shortening my first and last name when I was like twelve, and I just kept it. It's unique, unpronounceable, and long enough so I can claim it literally anywhere.

I would tell anecdotes and stories but would constantly go off at a tangent. Someone said I had "Tangentism".

I got into an argument with my ex, and I came out of it feeling totally defeated and completely worthless; like nothing I ever said mattered to anyone. I deleted my first Reddit account and all my internet forum accounts the same night, since I had nothing to add to any discussion anywhere.

When I finally climbed my way out of that despair pit (and that relationship), I made a new, half-ironic username on that theme. "ad acta" is Latin, and it literally translates to "from the archives", but in common use it was a phrase meaning "irrelevant". So Vox ad Acta is "Voice of the Irrelevant".

Boring, but I looked at my desk and saw a rolodex and a cisco switch. DEX CIS to DEXSIC

Genesis, particularly Peter Gabriel-era Genesis, is my favorite band. I've played around with using names from their songs as usernames for years, but it's only when I joined Reddit that I decided I should try to settle on one. I've always been fond of this track off their 1972 album Foxtrot. So if you should see some variation of this username online, it's probably me.

I was making an account to play Command & Conquer: Renegade. The NOD team had a unit called the Chem Warrior that shot liquid tiberium like a flame thrower, thought it was super cool. Don't remember how I ended up on Slayer instead, but it stuck

Now its time to..Kick out the JAMMs!

I like KLF, Illuminatus and peanut butter.

I’m terrible at naming things so I used a random username generator.

I also like to have numbers at the end so if anyone actually desires the username “Evergreen” I, who don’t really care too much about getting that specific username, will not be taking it from them. It’s a dictionary word, those get snapped up fast.

it's my name, with a 2k tacked onto the end, because I started using it a long time ago..

dry sarcasm aside, I have many online "handles" I use but I found that I'm totally ok consilidating most of my online presence under my real google-able identity.... MOST

I like anime, so I am an animefans

Its from a region from a certain JRPG I adore but misspelt

In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka has Oompaloompas working as slaves(?) in his factory. I constantly have the Oompaloompa song playing in my head so it's Oompaloompa with more OOMPH! Nothing more, nothing less. Yes, I am a moron and I know it would've been better as Oomphaloompa, but it's too late now. At least there's twice as much oomph now.

If you have to ask, I have a TV series for you.
