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

A fairy name generator.

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

Makes sense

[–] havokdj@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fellow battletech fan spotted

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

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

[–] kava@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Brewchin@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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. 😁

Huge fan of GWAR and always used their lead singers name for online accounts.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can’t wait until some internet rando types “GWAR” into a search engine and watches a video… fantastic.

[–] Oderus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Easily my favourite band. Seen them in concert many times and it never gets old.

RIP Brockie

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

By all accounts Brockie had an epic send off. The band did him proud.

[–] Two2Tango@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

It's my lizard's name

[–] hasecilu@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year 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. 🎶

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think mine is kinda obvious but in case it isn't, it's "GNU" in the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet. I got it because I like aviation and Linux... and also because I'm too autistic to get a more normal one

[–] ggnoredo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I mostly enjoy but not competitive online player from UO and Everquest era so I tired of typing good game no re do

I'll give you one more guess...

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] konalt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

It's still just random.

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

[–] GregorTacTac@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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.

My dad didn't know my birthday.

[–] SundryTornAsunder@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

A sundry, torn asunder.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year 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.
