I had to make a new name for the then brand new game: league of legends. I was high af and came up with this. Inspired by boss names in wow I guess.

[–] RoseRose56@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I used the username blackandred56, until one day I used blackrose56, and since then it's blackrose56 or roserose56. I just liked rose.

my dad came up with it on his own and I adopted it

[–] CharlesReed@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I just really like the character.

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Main character from The Darkness that Comes Before/The Prince of Nothing series by R. Scott Bakker. Liked the character, liked the name, loved the books.

[–] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

A half-assed variation of "bah humbug"...

Fellow battletech fan spotted

[–] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

Makes sense

[–] lyth@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Trimmed down version of my 'sona's full name "lythlphene" which I came up with kinda randomly in a weird creative mood early in the morning, it's intended to mean something like "earthy creature". I decided that I shouldn't change or tweak it afterwards since I would have just kept overthinking it and never been satisfied

[–] Popsip@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

I used to like soda a lot when I was a kid.

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

It's a drink that makes you feel good and I drink a lot of it

[–] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I stole it from some old-timey sailors who were shooting the breeze.

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

I wanted to upgrade my cringy username and realized it was very hard to choose something, after a while I decided to do the same thing Seba Jun (rest in beats) made for its stage name. 🎶

[–] 0x30507DE@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Combined a few numbers that are meaningful to me, turned it into hex, and here we are.

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

I like popcorn and may or may not be royalty..

As with all my online accounts:

  • Visit a name generator website.
  • Find one that doesn't suck.
  • Check if it's available.
  • Here we are.

And each has a different email address. I hope adtech loves me. 😁

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

My dad didn't know my birthday.

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

A sundry, torn asunder.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

It's the name of my sona, as well as the species. "Arx" came from one of my previous usernames which was railroad related (I'm a railfan, and went by RxR). My friends started calling me Rx, which then became Arx. "CyberWolf" comes from my fursona being cyberpunk themed, with cybernetic augmentation. Hence, Cyber Wolf.

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

It's vaguely related to my old reddit user name.

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

Took the windows shortcut "Control-Alt-Delete", removed the delete and trol, and replaced the c with a k

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

Minor changes to the random name generator from EvE online and World of Warcrack.

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

I am god. In my language

[–] darreninthenet@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I'll give you one more guess...

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

It's still just random.

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

It's supposed to sound like "pattern" and was meant to evoke that. It's meant to refer to sort of "patterns in life", a sort of interconnectedness that binds us all together and these universal experiences that we all seem to share. Or something like that. There's probably already a word for it, but whatever, it's what I've been using for internet ages now.
