Ask Lemmy

I liked playing tachanka on R6, tht is short for TheHolyTachanka

Just needed a name and combined a word with an animal

My display name is a short-version of my nickname which is a phonetic amalgamation of my first and last name.

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.

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

Guess.

Sometimes I get kinda pedantic.

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

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

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

Hank likes hominy.

I'm fatigued in more ways than one and people joke that I'm fae because I'm allergic to metal.

Used to live in Norway when I joined reddit, and the whole Norse lore resonated with me. Back then I had a number attached, that wasn't needed on Lemmy anymore.

Star Wars Galaxies I was on a red wine kick at the time and had found Ecco Domani to be a good low priced red. I meeded a character name for SWG so I looked up "to seize" in Italian to make "seize tomorrow".

It's actually "squeeze tomorrow" or "tighten tomorrow" and should have been "cogliere il domani" which is cooler. But c'est la vie, or questa è la vita.

Shakespeare and Serious Sam.

Mine comes from the intro to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

Bernards letter

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.

I was eating something when I made the account. Make a wild guess what it might have been.

Bitwarden username generator 👍

I was promoted from the rank of Commander.

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.

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 like the word argyle and I'm angry

Just a greeting used in an RPG I really liked. As pretty much the only formal greeting in its setting, it seemed very overused, so a friend and I started using it in our friend group as a meme, and I decided that it actually goes pretty hard as a username.

Patrik/Pat is just my name, sometimes use Legendbird on sites because once it was the first thing I thought about (Zapdos, to be exact).

M is the letter my real name starts with, and 137 has been my favourite number since I was a kid, and I still think is the coolest number (has nothing to do with 1337, as some people have previously thought).

Tally Hall (band) → callyral (pseudonym + username) → cally (nickname)

I love airplanes and was excited to see a “modern” one where you could slide back the canopy just like in all those old WWII movies! It’s even ok to fly with it open (a little)!
