A few years after high school I joined the stage crew for a musical theatre group some friends started. At a performance after party, I was looking after some of the younger cast who had a few too many: one of them decided I was like Bosley to their Charlie's angels; the other felt I was looking after them in a fatherly way - so they combined it, and that became their nickname for me. Also, the nickname my siblings had given me, NoPatchGlandBoySleepyTheIronDeficientBrother was just too long.
It's a reference to a Simpsons episode, where Bart writes "nobody likes a sunburn slapper" on the blackboard in the opening.
My name's Darren. Here I am in the 'net.
I love the phrase “your average Joe”, but it doesn’t translate very well, or I couldn’t think of a translation quickly enough (English isn’t my first language), so when I was talking with my friends one day, I translated it as “your average mortal”, and I liked it

Calvin and Hobbes. I added a 'y' to the end because I could.
The way I drove and the papers I used for rolling joints back when I was a teenager
It's from valarin (Tolkien's language of the Valar)

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
I read it in one of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books
I'm a huge fan of Bathory, so I just combined Quorthon with his previous stage name, Ace.

School nickname
In Portuguese "zero hora" is the midnight shift, people started making jokes when I slept in class and the name got stuck.
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...
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.
Username should be pretty self explanatory. If you still don't get it you can either ask me or bravely run away.
I had a job doing QA where I had to create user accounts. Some Guy was one of the three that I created every day.
From a famous Australian poem called... "Said Hanrahan"

Just needed a name and combined a word with an animal
Shakespeare and Serious Sam.

Surname plus 3 random numbers
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.
Ranidaphobic; but going with Frog-Man was a too on the nose rip off of Bat-Man (and it’s taken anyway).
I liked playing tachanka on R6, tht is short for TheHolyTachanka
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.
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.

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.
I’m chaotic and I like cookies, nothing more to it!
Hank likes hominy.
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
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.
