I hit randomize in a passphrase generator until it farted out a mental image that made me laugh.

The first time I tried karaoke, I was a bit intoxicated and worried that, having a common name, another Nick would get confused. My parents worked by full name incorrectly, so, I figured that that would be a great way to differentiate it, not realizing at the time that the name "Nick" itself normally has a "k" in it, making "Nick w/ a K" arguably more confusing. After sobering up, I found the whole concept wonderfully silly and decided to switch to it as my main screen name.

There's a character on Adventure Time named AbracaDaniel and I just switched in my name.

I stopped taking my daily interval 💊

[–] ChamrsDeluxe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's the name of my youtube and twitch channels.

The name is a bit of a long story using text to speech in Sea of Thieves to annoy another crew. Tried getting to to speak in an irish accent and misspelled "charms" and the way the TTS said "chamrs" was just hilarious. So there we go.

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

Its the same username I had at the other place that shall not be named, until I got permabanned for reasons still unclear to me.

I originally joined via the swimming sub there, looking for recommendations on waterproof music players to use while swimming so I can listen to AC/DC and Motohead etc while swimming laps. I'm a bogan (Australian and New Zealand slang for a person whose speech, clothing, attitude and behaviour are considered unrefined or unsophisticated) and I swim laps every day. Therefore..... waterbogan

[–] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

That is just who I am

Way back in the day I wanted my club penguin to be named sparky, but that name was already taken. So club penguin recommended to me sparky678348

Out of habit. It was my reddit username for almost a decade and the first thing that came to mind when I made a lemmy account.

Why I originally chose "justlookingfordragon" on reddit: I was looking for fellow Pokémon X/Y players with dragon-type safaris willing to share their codes, but the simplest usernames like "dragon" and "safari" were already taken, and "Imjustlookingforadragontypesafarikthxbai" didn't fit the character limit. I originally didn't even plan to keep the account, so I didn't care that the username was silly and awkward.

"Wolf Link" was a nickname that came later.

I was binge watching the show "Letterkenny" One of their plotlines was about a Ostrich. Allegedly.... Im Australian, No Ostriches, only Emus.

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

What if Carl’s Jr. had a son

[–] HairyOldCoot@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Self descriptive.

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

Because I wanted to be obscure and mysterious, but if I'd call myself MrMysterious I'd know deep inside that I'm a wanker.

[–] irdc@derp.foo 5 points 2 years ago

I really don't care.

[–] GlendatheGayWitch@lib.lgbt 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a play off Friend of Dorothy.

Well, I'm waiting to drop a standard line that can be deduced from my username, but I still haven't landed a good post to do so...

Also, I wanted it to be disjoint from my former Reddit usernames

I'm afraid to say why.

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

1: Has just three letters. 2: Doesn't really mean anything. 3: I like how it sounds.

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

I like to smoke dope.

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

I just want to have a good time

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

Randomly generated by another website and I thought it was funny.

[–] MelancholikhPatata@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I came up with it when I created my second acc on Reddit; I didn't want to spend time thinking of a username so I just thought of the first two words that described my mood at the time and went with it. It means "melancholic potato", I like how dumb it sounds

[–] NotSpez@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Mine was easy
