Because I had to to create an account...

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

Nakari has "existed" since I was a teenager. Started off as a character I used in writing as an outlet, but slowly the name also became a handle for me. Hell, I guess an entire "presence" since it's my go-to for most sites.

Lexfortaine came around because I wanted something vaguely "proper" sounded in a D&D game, and I never actually got around to giving the character Nakari a "canon" last name. It worked well enough for an asspull, and has just been tracked on ever since. Grown to like it, actually. Feels more like a proper name.

Old internet nickname, back in the MSN Messenger days.

Would be a very long comment but it's a reference Black Kettle's betrayal and murder by General Custer.

You don't choose your username. Your username chooses you

I combined my dog's names (Kona and Loki) but fucked it up the first time I ever used it as a username. It was supposed to be "Kolonaki" taking the first two letters of Kona and the first two of Loki then alternating in the second half of both. KoLoNaKi. But I accidentally entered "KolAnaki" and just ran with it.

I liked it so much, I made it my fursona's name since before that name was just "Raccoon."

Take a wild guess

[–] Zyansheep@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Nyan Cat, but different

I couldn't come up with shit so I put a random word through a cipher and switched a few letters around

[–] Psyblader@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I like Gallade.

[–] sanbeiji@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I was in a little cafe in Taiwan and that's what we ordered.

[–] ThaNook@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

I'm a fan of BNA's tanuki main character Michiru, and Summer Tanuki's storyline, and how Tom Nook's name is pun with Tanuki and...

The stars just aligned for me, I swear.

Akuma is a boss. Been my favorite all through my childhood.

[–] momentary@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

My preferred username was already taken a long time ago. This was meant to be a temporary replacement, but now this is my preferred username.

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

I was hungry

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

I love the movie.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I guess I’m a sucker for puns.

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

Because it's a pejorative term for a loud-mouthed know-it-all bloviating idiot and I like to keep myself humble and try not to take myself too seriously.

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

Wanted to be crass and nerdy, simultaneously.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Cool hobby from my past ….. plus for whatever reason lemmy didn’t like my generated username and I gave up

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

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

It's been my internet identity / haxxorz handle since the 1990s, and the story is about as benign as Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner and his black-and-yellow striped sweater.

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

It was about time.

I was really craving pancakes with maple syrup, but I was at home without pancake mix or syrup, and everything was closed because it was 3am.

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

Years ago, when I was around 13-14, I wanted a "cool" sounding username, since I was also sick of coming up with usernames for websites. I did some thinking, and came up with "Mr.Champion". Used it ever since.

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

I just hate Disney

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

It's such a majestic creature.
