Ask Lemmy

I'm a huge fan of Bathory, so I just combined Quorthon with his previous stage name, Ace.

It's from valarin (Tolkien's language of the Valar)

https://glaemscrafu.jrrvf.com/english/motsvalarins.html

Akasan is 'he says'

-z suffix is a person's name

So it's basically 'Teller' (I'd say storyteller) in valarin.

The 'h' was supposed to help in pronunciation, it only mildly does, I find

Calvin and Hobbes. I added a 'y' to the end because I could.

The Reddit API debacle that killed third party apps.

It means bare, naked, possession-less.

The way I drove and the papers I used for rolling joints back when I was a teenager

I liked Legos and I liked Pikachu at the time(I was 11 or so? Trying to make a Minecraft account lol)

I don't think I'll be able to use this name for anything commercial if I wanted to do that...

Username should be pretty self explanatory. If you still don't get it you can either ask me or bravely run away.

I was playing some crappy F2P MMO (Perfect World, maybe?) and I made a warrior of some werewolf race. Just played with random wolf-related combinations and settled on this. Quit after two days and the username carried on for probably 15 years now.

I don't even really know all that much about Stalin. I just pulled it out of my ass.

My page name, ShinigamiOokamiRyuu, is an amalgamation of different anime characters from anime whose characters I have cosplayed as.

My nickname (the thing that says "Call me Lenny/Leni") is based on one of my nickname preferences. I have quite a few, my birth name being Valentina, which allows for a lot of nicknames (including Leni, which is one of the shorthands for Valentina, though Tina is the most popular) that get changed around depending on who I communicate with.

My cousin, brother and I used to get high and play MTG quite a bit back in the day. There's a card called "Reef Pirates" that we used to joke around and call them Reefer Pirates. When I was making an account on Diablo 2 some time around then it's what popped into my head and stuck.

Kona + Loki + accidentally changing an O to an A = Kolanaki

And then it turns out, it's also the name of a place in Greece.

i like the swapnote girl so i borrowed her name

Way more years ago than I would like to admit, when I was in my teens, I learned to play a Fender Mexican Stratocaster. It became my name on my BBS, and has stuck ever since.

Most people think it has to do with FM radio.

Edit: Also, this question has managed to get replies from almost all of the prolific participators on Lemmy. Nice.

I asked Dr GPT for a list of nouns and adjectives with a particular theme and picked some I liked and combined them. I do the same process for all my digital identities.

Someone else took karl first and I want to know which one of you it was

I enjoyed The Talos Principle. And the messages in that world seemed about as real as you guys. I mean that in an endearing way

I was making a silly joke on Reddit...

I saw a watch company use the name Omega, before I even knew it was the name of a greek letter.

Sometimes I get kinda pedantic.

When i joined the fediverse I decided to make a break from my old usernames.

What about you pip? My first thought was the main character of Kid Icarus.

I mashed the keyboard.

Title of a book by my favourite author Jonathan Carroll. Almost all of my various handles over my time online have been some variation of one of his book titles because they're so unique. I used one on Reddit and some Nazi started stalking me, and it turns out some lady on Twitter uses it as her handle there, so he kept messaging me and calling me Stephanie.

The pinnacle of Australian culture

Every time I go to make a new username I just choose the first 2 words that come to mind

A bunch of goofy bureaucracy name fuckups to my real name. It’s a long and boring story. It’s in no way related to being a group for tacos addicts.

"Behold, a token effort" sick line dropped by best boy linhardt in fire emblem warriors three hopes

My display name is probably from the most mysterious song on the internet

Minecraft username I coined at the age of 8. The name speaks for itself.

Surname plus 3 random numbers

I’m chaotic and I like cookies, nothing more to it!

Hank likes hominy.

From a famous Australian poem called... "Said Hanrahan"

Bernards letter

Redditors are stupid in very specific ways and it annoys me.

My husband’s nickname for me. I was born in the holler in Appalachia and am a woodsy pixie. It stuck and is now my trail name.
