I left a shaker cup with some drink mix in there for weeks, totally forgot about it. Now it's a science project

[–] ToastyToast@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I've been using some form of this name for 10 years. It's a part of me now.

[–] Aagje_D_Vogel@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It's the name of my pet bird.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

My username originally was Emerald_Earth, because I saw the old Lemmy.world logo with the Earth (that had green on it, like am emerald). I switched to Emerald when I realized it was available. Short and sweet.

I chose mine because one day I had nothing to do and was super bored, so I just stared at ceiling and blackedout. And mind you I wasn't tired or anything neither did I sleep, I just lost consciousness because I was bored.

[–] Beowulf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Gamertag. My new one at that though

[–] lunaticneko@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

That references the name of my programming language I first-learned in my entire life.

[–] BiggestBulb@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Discord nickname that originated from OneShot (the game my icon is from). I chose it like 4 or 5 years ago and it stuck on Discord so I just adopted it to here

It's a futurama reference. Meant to be anonymous but ended up getting lucky with a lightsaber gig and am now stuck with the name lol. Only unfortunate part is I wish I'd known which account was going to get lucky lol

[–] Poggervania@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

It’s an alteration of an older PSN name I used a while back and it has a really nice ring to it.

[–] nerdalie@lib.lgbt 3 points 2 years ago

I'm a nerd. I'm a Natalie. I'm a nerdy Natalie.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

My name is the spell that I can cast in real life. Not as good as a real Muscle Wizard's, but it's something

[–] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Would be a very long comment but it's a reference Black Kettle's betrayal and murder by General Custer.

[–] Tandybaum@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Boom, still got it

[–] Hate@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I hate myself

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

It's been my internet identity / haxxorz handle since the 1990s, and the story is about as benign as Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner and his black-and-yellow striped sweater.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It just seemed fitting.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I guess I’m a sucker for puns.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Am arcane and slimy, was descriptive.

[–] Tempus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It was about time.

[–] I_dream_of_pancakes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I was hungry

[–] Psyblader@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I like Gallade.

[–] Zyansheep@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Nyan Cat, but different

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Nakari has "existed" since I was a teenager. Started off as a character I used in writing as an outlet, but slowly the name also became a handle for me. Hell, I guess an entire "presence" since it's my go-to for most sites.

Lexfortaine came around because I wanted something vaguely "proper" sounded in a D&D game, and I never actually got around to giving the character Nakari a "canon" last name. It worked well enough for an asspull, and has just been tracked on ever since. Grown to like it, actually. Feels more like a proper name.
