It's the name of my youtube and twitch channels.

The name is a bit of a long story using text to speech in Sea of Thieves to annoy another crew. Tried getting to to speak in an irish accent and misspelled "charms" and the way the TTS said "chamrs" was just hilarious. So there we go.

Because I wanted to be obscure and mysterious, but if I'd call myself MrMysterious I'd know deep inside that I'm a wanker.

[–] Izzy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

A real life nickname I've had since I was 7. I've just stuck with it for the past 26 years. It actually originated from the Beanie Baby Lizzy. And Izzy is just Lizzy the Lizard without Legs. 🐍

I stopped taking my daily interval 💊

[–] Pika@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I chose my name as a shortened version of the name I generally use on social media platforms. It's just this one is easier to type and since the account didn't exist I took advantage of being able to use the shorthand.

Way back in the day I wanted my club penguin to be named sparky, but that name was already taken. So club penguin recommended to me sparky678348

I had a bottle of maple syrup on my desk and I'm not a very creative person.

There's a character on Adventure Time named AbracaDaniel and I just switched in my name.

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The first time I tried karaoke, I was a bit intoxicated and worried that, having a common name, another Nick would get confused. My parents worked by full name incorrectly, so, I figured that that would be a great way to differentiate it, not realizing at the time that the name "Nick" itself normally has a "k" in it, making "Nick w/ a K" arguably more confusing. After sobering up, I found the whole concept wonderfully silly and decided to switch to it as my main screen name.

song by a band that fitted with my habit of nuking my PC every couple of weeks, either because I wanted to try a different Linux distro or because I got some kind of Limewire chlamydia
