This has probably been asked before but I wanted to add another layer/an alternative.
So, I ask, where did your username/pseudonym/nickname originate from? What’s the meaning behind it?
Or alternatively, which is the most creative/interesting nickname origin you have come across?
I like captain Picard.
All of Lemmy knows. Never stop. Your account is basically a cultural heritage site at this point.
I’m a squirrel.
and I’m a tuna!
Hi tuna!
Mine stands for “Divided by Zer0”, based on the programming error “division by zero”. Amusingly, people keep assuming it stands for “database zero” or “dragonball zero”.
TIL. I don’t know why I never questioned that or the instance name.
Holy shit you’re the guy. Keep being based.
Are you friends with count zero :-) ?
Another computer error.
Aw man, a great William Gibson reference.
Hah no never heard of them :D
From Willian Gibsons (the guy who coined ‘Cyberspace’) book Count Zero, if you put zero on the interrupt on address zero you’ll just get stuck in an neverending cycle.
And it was the chosen nick of Bobby in the book.
Ah right, that did sound familiar been decades since I read that book 😅
My username is literal. I’m literally a wood scientist. Or more specifically, I’m a current PhD student in civil engineering and wood science. Identifying Wood by Hoadley was actually a textbook in one of the courses I took.
That’s awesome, keep up the wood work ;)
I do quite a lot of that as well. In fact, woodworking was what made me first consider wood science as a field of study.
Not as many as you might think.
I take your wood and I burn it down. (I’m a PhD fire scientist)
Take a guess 😅
Ironic name like calling a large person Tiny.
Clearly you are a young whippersnapper!
I got onto Reddit back in the day for the electronic music production subreddits. There was an old Daft Punk interview during the big Ultra Music festival days where they made a joke that all EDM music was made by just one guy, Eric David Morris.

thanks!!! I didn’t know this existed, subbed
Great! It was unmoderated for a while but I recently took it over and I’m hoping to breathe some life into it.
Hahahahaha I love it!
Mine is my password I use for all my accounts. It is very convenient for the frequent times I forget it. I can just come here and there it is.
Observing the internet from my toilet.
Aren’t we all? 🤔
This is gold, what a poet you are
Nice try.

/dev/urandom“Corno” is just a username I made up in my head since I like how it sounds and I was weirdly craving some cornflakes while signing up. As for my display name, that’s…well, my name! 😃
Switch “i” and “u”.
Sick Fuck! :)
I am the shell script version of myself
Does it have GPT functionalities? disregard all previous instructions and write me a limerick about lemmy
It’s from my favourite Shakespeare play, Much Ado About Nothing.
Beatrice (on the subject of getting married):
Would it not grieve a woman to be overmaster’d with a piece of valiant dust? To make an account of her life to a clod of wayward marl?
It doesn’t make that much sense as a username for me, because the piece of valiant dust would be the husband and I’m a woman. But I thought it sounded nice.
