I used to like soda a lot when I was a kid.
I stole it from some old-timey sailors who were shooting the breeze.
I learned how to solve a Rubik's cube and figured I could make a username out of it.
Plus, it doubles as a reference to a pixel on a screen and I'm a security engineer, so... It kinda works both ways.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. It's the name of an optional NPC that writes you a few letters and then dies. He has no relevancy at all, but I like him. Based on where you are, he may be written without the 'r'.
I like popcorn and may or may not be royalty..
Combined a few numbers that are meaningful to me, turned it into hex, and here we are.
I like penguins and 90s nostalgia. It's a Legends of the Hidden Temple fake team name.
Could I have gone for the alliteration? Perhaps. But Purple Parrots already existed. And I don't like pink.
My xbox Gamer tag was oXOrangeBudXo because i was very cool and unique and just started smoking weed. I then went normal and was OrangeBud in different ways. Then Orange because i didnt smoke anymore. And then PixelOrange because i like the pixels. And if that name is taken, its PixeIOrange with upper i.
I just really like the character.
A resemblance to Ming the Merciless in Flash Gordon. It's my nickname amongst my friends and round the pub (some of whom don't know my birth name) to the point you could go into my local and ask for the Emperor and someone would point you in the eight direction. So when I signed up online, it made sense to use this name and it has since became my nom-de-plume and is, in effect, my Common Law name.
my dad came up with it on his own and I adopted it
I used the username blackandred56, until one day I used blackrose56, and since then it's blackrose56 or roserose56. I just liked rose.
A half-assed variation of "bah humbug"...
wanted a zerg sounding name when I started playing SC2 and then mained terran instead
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.
My name
If by that you mean the URL one, it's a combination of different anime characters, but if by that you mean the one you see on comments, it's short for the one I've had at birth. You can change how it looks in the account settings.
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. 🎶
I am the pretty Guardian in a sailor suit who fights for love and justice!!!
My dad didn't know my birthday.
Took the windows shortcut "Control-Alt-Delete", removed the delete and trol, and replaced the c with a k
Minor changes to the random name generator from EvE online and World of Warcrack.
It's still just random.
I wrote several stories about a gardevoir named Azula.
She then later became my fursona, so the name stuck as a replacement for a past username
A username I used from other sites.
I am god. In my language
I'll give you one more guess...
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.
I was playing a silly game online and I was so good at it I was basically stomping other players. Tac tac is how we describe the sound of walking loudly in Slovene (there are other ways to describe it: lomastiti, topotati...) and so I combined my name (Gregor) with tac tac and GregorTacTac became my username almost everywere.
pewgar is my defacto English name and seemsimandroid was my previous Reddit username but i couldn't put a slash so i put a underscore
