Well I'm pretty anxious

[–] sep@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Been using this nick since before the great split of 96. Don't think I want to change anytime soon.

[–] NPC@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, did you have sep over on reddit?

[–] emptyother@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Its my real first name, but directly translated from Norwegian to English.

[–] trouser_mouse@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It feels just right, also I have used it for a long time and I can't be bothered to think up a new one as I need my brain for other things

[–] supermurs@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use this name everywhere on the Internet.

[–] Vengefu1Tuna@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Same, I like consistency.

[–] Driftking@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 years ago

Because I love drifting. It's like my life is tokyo drift and american racer says: "donkey kong?"

[–] DarkDiamondK@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's what I use everywhere. Been thinking of changing my default alias, but I don't have the creativity to come up with something new right now, so here it stays!

[–] LeafOnTheWind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you don't know, you're missing out.

Don't fix what ain't broken

[–] AncillaryJustice@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Favorite sci-fi novel... and I figure I'll make a hundred alt accounts eventually just like elsewhere so chose whatever for my first.

[–] WFH@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Ancillary Justice is so good!

[–] Laticauda@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's part of the name for my favourite species of snake, Laticauda colubrina. I just think it's neat!

I have a degenerate obsession with Widowmaker.

[–] Pocky@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

"Pocky" is the name of my 19 year old cockatiel. Short for "Apocalypse". I've had him for more than half my life. Love that little guy so much.

[–] Bearbie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It’s what I wanted my Reddit username to be

[–] zpm@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Stargate! I just love the idea of the zpm's.

[–] IsThisWhereWeGoNow@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Just following the crowd

[–] deedan06@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Because it is my reddit username

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[–] DreamySweet@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago
[–] LordDumbass@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Because I want to be the only Lord Dumbass

[–] just_squanch_it@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Oh, you know just... Keeping it Squanchy.

[–] Iwasondigg@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

I don't know, I was just reflecting on the fact that I moved to Lemmy because Reddit is imploding, which I moved to because Digg was imploding, and hopefully we can halt the enshitification of these platforms.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago

I spent a decade with one of these things in my hand. It suits me.

[–] irkli@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Shortest unique searchable.

[–] LemmyKravitz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Because I'm not Lenny.

[–] ezchili@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Back in 2012 i thought it'd be funny to make all my porn accounts the username of "Markus Persson" "notch"'s ex wife on twitter so if one day he stalks her he just ends up finding my schizo shit online

Hi notch

[–] RainyDaze@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It was raining and I was hung over

It's impossible to provide verbally.

[–] Seven@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Seven is in my English name and sounds cool.

[–] z500@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

It doesn't really mean anything, but I've been using it for 24 years so why not.

[–] pebble3292@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Fresh start after 14+ years on Reddit.

[–] STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

One day I created a reddit account. I used a couple of names but they were all taken. That's when I let fate decide my name. The gods bestowed upon the name StrikingDebate2. This name has been with me for so long why should I leave it? Why should I reject the gods judgement? Of course, you can just call me striker for short.
