I made an off hand joke about farts having accents once. It got some laughs and then I thought, "That would make a good username."
... aaand here we are today: You're welcome everybody!

Because I always wanted to have my own theme song.
But really, I browsed through my music collection by alphabetical order and it sounded cool. Blue Öyster Cult always delivers, even with the title of their songs.
Redditors are stupid in very specific ways and it annoys me.
It's related to my first name. But some letters removed and others rearranged.

I love frogs and was hungry when I made my account.
When Counterstrike first came out a quarter century ago one friend had a PC and we would take turns playing it and wanted to compare stats on some 3rd party stat tracking site so we could talk shit on each other. Finding a unique name was a pain, but I got lucky with this one, which is probably based on something Jay from Clerks said.
I've been lucky that it isn't taken when signing up for stuff so I keep using it. A happy little accident.
I couldn't think of a name but I wanted an account. Every time I tried to think of something, I hit a mental block. "I don't want to"
I literally have a slur for a diagnosis.
A fiend told me I'd make a good scooby-doo villain and it wasn't taken by anyone else.
I wanted a short username since I'm not usually able to get one and the idea of it being something common and impossible to search was fun.
Someone submitted a web form with this name.
I got named Bizzle in like 2008 because my real name wasn't cool enough, it just stuck
Fo' shizzle my bizzle
water, metal, pressure and faith.
leaky showers and prayers.
An ex drinking buddy was drunk and high as F and would butcher the name of several people. I couldn’t let this one die.
It is kind of descriptive...
Glitch from the original Pokemon Red/Blue.
I first used this name during the "lulz xD so rAnDum" era, and I like to draw. So, RandomStickman
Minecraft username I coined at the age of 8. The name speaks for itself.

"Behold, a token effort" sick line dropped by best boy linhardt in fire emblem warriors three hopes
My display name is probably from the most mysterious song on the internet
I read an article, that the executioner who operated the electric chair was sometimes called the state electrician. I liked that, as I like many little known words and phrases. It has nothing to do with his job, the euphemism just tickled my fancy.
I have my email service generate an alias and I use that as my username. I delete my account every few months and make a new one on a different instance.
Means potato / lame
Clipper Defiance was a Boeing 707 operated by Pan Am. Its main claim to fame was when on February 7th, 1964 it brought The Beatles to America for the first time.
I read a fantastic book where there was the count Valmond or something.
Best name ever, never taken on forums and such, always free!
Til I learned it was de Valmont, not Valmond 🙃 but here I am!
Funnily it's usually pre-used om platforms nowadays.

i like the swapnote girl so i borrowed her name
I once created a character in a story when I was a child about a Jack Green from the planet Æarth, and named an account on a popular site accordingly as a similarly young person, as I lacked nominative creativity, evidently. People kept getting confused between Æarth and Earth so I just changed it to Earth for future accounts.
Quote from Fight Club
I can remember the Ace part of AceFuzzLord very well. Comes from me always using Ace whenever a game requires a profile name or a 3 letter initial.
The Fuzz Lord part I don't remember really at all, but I assume the Lord part comes from the fact I think pretty highly of myself despite the fact I'm a nobody.
Oh, and do y'all see AceFuzzLord or do y'all see Dizzy Devil Ducky? I have no idea who sees either. I see Ace and I've had other people see DDD. Either way, DDD comes from the fact that he's my favorite Tiny Toons character.
I mashed the keyboard.
