My display name is a short-version of my nickname which is a phonetic amalgamation of my first and last name.

Remember that mobile game that was popular a while ago, Neko Atsume? It's that, but with Etna from Disgaea, because at the time I first made this username (years ago) Neko Atsume was taken and I was playing through Disgaea D2.

Sometimes I get kinda pedantic.

When i joined the fediverse I decided to make a break from my old usernames.

I was promoted from the rank of Commander.

I saw a watch company use the name Omega, before I even knew it was the name of a greek letter.

I was eating something when I made the account. Make a wild guess what it might have been.

I was making a silly joke on Reddit...

Just needed a name and combined a word with an animal

Title of a book by my favourite author Jonathan Carroll. Almost all of my various handles over my time online have been some variation of one of his book titles because they're so unique. I used one on Reddit and some Nazi started stalking me, and it turns out some lady on Twitter uses it as her handle there, so he kept messaging me and calling me Stephanie.

I’m chaotic and I like cookies, nothing more to it!

From a famous Australian poem called... "Said Hanrahan"

Minecraft username I coined at the age of 8. The name speaks for itself.

Because I like these little guys: Grasshopper Mouse

A bunch of goofy bureaucracy name fuckups to my real name. It’s a long and boring story. It’s in no way related to being a group for tacos addicts.

Hank likes hominy.

Bitwarden username generator 👍

Redditors are stupid in very specific ways and it annoys me.

Surname plus 3 random numbers

Way more years ago than I would like to admit, when I was in my teens, I learned to play a Fender Mexican Stratocaster. It became my name on my BBS, and has stuck ever since.

Most people think it has to do with FM radio.

Edit: Also, this question has managed to get replies from almost all of the prolific participators on Lemmy. Nice.

Display Name is because the Earth part of a Universe Simulator program run on a windows 11 machine and the Earth.exe process crashed, which is why we have assassination attempts, felon president, CEO getting shot, random coup attempt in South Korea. The Simulation program just spews random plotlines without the Earth.exe process to fine-tune it. Its basically telling AI to draw human hands, it keeps making no sense.

The pinnacle of Australian culture

Star Wars Galaxies I was on a red wine kick at the time and had found Ecco Domani to be a good low priced red. I meeded a character name for SWG so I looked up "to seize" in Italian to make "seize tomorrow".

It's actually "squeeze tomorrow" or "tighten tomorrow" and should have been "cogliere il domani" which is cooler. But c'est la vie, or questa è la vita.

Someone else took karl first and I want to know which one of you it was

Every time I go to make a new username I just choose the first 2 words that come to mind

Mine comes from the intro to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

My husband’s nickname for me. I was born in the holler in Appalachia and am a woodsy pixie. It stuck and is now my trail name.

I enjoyed The Talos Principle. And the messages in that world seemed about as real as you guys. I mean that in an endearing way

I'm fatigued in more ways than one and people joke that I'm fae because I'm allergic to metal.

Shakespeare and Serious Sam.

I liked playing tachanka on R6, tht is short for TheHolyTachanka

Ranidaphobic; but going with Frog-Man was a too on the nose rip off of Bat-Man (and it’s taken anyway).
