I combined my dog's names (Kona and Loki) but fucked it up the first time I ever used it as a username. It was supposed to be "Kolonaki" taking the first two letters of Kona and the first two of Loki then alternating in the second half of both. KoLoNaKi. But I accidentally entered "KolAnaki" and just ran with it.

I liked it so much, I made it my fursona's name since before that name was just "Raccoon."

Take a wild guess

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

I couldn't come up with shit so I put a random word through a cipher and switched a few letters around

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

I was in a little cafe in Taiwan and that's what we ordered.

I'm a fan of BNA's tanuki main character Michiru, and Summer Tanuki's storyline, and how Tom Nook's name is pun with Tanuki and...

The stars just aligned for me, I swear.

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

Akuma is a boss. Been my favorite all through my childhood.

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

My preferred username was already taken a long time ago. This was meant to be a temporary replacement, but now this is my preferred username.

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

I thought it was funny

Among us name generator

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

I used the same moronic username I got from a name generator for 20 years before Reddit was trashed. I took the opportunity to reinvent myself. I'm a techie with a beard....

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

I used to really love William Gibson. It's the name of a fictional musical duo in one of his novels, Idoru.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am too lazy and boring for a username, so I just use my RL name.

[–] andrr_464@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

omg 😱😱😱😱😱 Dirk Nowitzki 😱😱😱😱

My friends name is Nick and was thinking about him when I came up with this name. Also wanted a cool unique name like my brothers came up with for their gamer tags.

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's a reference to Buell Motorcycles and their tractor like engines.

[–] Laila@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Because it's mine and it was available.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I live on South End and I love sunsets…combined, it makes no fucking sense.

[–] excitingburp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Crunchyroll autogenerated it. I liked it.

[–] Samsqantxh@lemmy.today 1 points 2 years ago

Autocorrect kinda fudged mine up and I said go it.

[–] kworpy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I actually forgot why

[–] qwertychomp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Because this was my username on reddit before I deleted my account, and I don't have the creativity to think of something else

[–] JohnSaveourSocks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I thought my name in English meant "John Savior", so I just decided to make my online alias "JohnSavour", but for some reason I elongated it to "JohnSaveourSocks".

(Turns out it actually means John Servant, so "JohnServesYou" would've been more accurate.)

[–] fiddlesticks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

I have no clue.
