I was trying to figure out a username for another social media, and landed on this one after trying weird combinations of my name and birth year, none of which I like. Afterwards, it just stuck around because I became my life motto for many things as well.
Controversial
Because Ganondorf should have been a clone of Samus in Smash Bros Melee, not Captain Falcon. At the time, his one appearance (Ocarina of Time) had him using a projectile-focused moveset. This would have inevitably given him morph ball motions (down-B and roll), which would have ultimately been swapped out, but it's a fun thought that it would have been like that during part of development.
Wanted something not related to my other usernames and I fucking love gyozas
I used this name for a specific purpose, then that purpose became irrelevant. With the API fubar, I ditched both of my profile names though this does bone one purpose of one of the old aliases (for my NSFW work) so I may end up bringing it back in some form. I like this name better though.
It's a variation on what my wife calls me. It's been my username on forums and such for a long time.
I just used the name I use on Discord and a few others places.
It was originally Toothless_NEO and still is on Reddit, Steam, and for some reason matrix but I changed it everywhere else I could because an asshole was harassing me and encouraging other people to harass me (had to actually pay money to change it in some places, Xbox live makes you pay to change your username).
It's like shootin' the breeze, but old time sailor-y.
Wind... fire... All that kind of thing.
Used to play a lot of games, some sci-fi, some fantasy... was lazy and didn't like having to come up with multiple names. It just kinda stuck.
Been using this user name since I made a PSN account when I was 12 lol
I get mad sometimes
I love tea
It's a reference to Buell Motorcycles and their tractor like engines.
childhood memory i guess
I asked chatgpt for generated usernames, and this was one that I liked
It's a long convoluted story but when I was a teen (I'm 46 now) I created a series of designs I called "earthbound angel" over the years it morphed to whoisearth.
Did you post those designs anywhere?
Nah they're in a binder somewhere in my house for posterity lol. They were as good as you would expect from a 14 year old in 1991.
I like Doctor Who and it comes from my favourite season with my favourite companion.
Because The Doors is my favorite band.
It's the generated handle of my reddit account and I was happy with it because its a good name and it's over here.
I lost my username once and couldn't recover the account
Random word plus random number after it. I decided I needed to be a little more careful with my info.
That actually makes me a little sad. I thought you were a Charlie Chaplin fan.
I actually forgot why
Name of my favourite novel.
A weird set of events. First I just wanted to sign up on SDF Public access UNIX system but I didn't want to waste my username for testing it out in case I did something wrong. So I went with user224. However a good user named xiled verified that account for me so I stuck with that username.
Later SDF posted on Twitter about running their own Lemmy instance, and since I didn't yet know what Lemmy was, I used the same username. Slowly I made comments and posts locking myself into the stupid "user224" username. And I can't change it.
ummm I was you know...
I thought my name in English meant "John Savior", so I just decided to make my online alias "JohnSavour", but for some reason I elongated it to "JohnSaveourSocks".
(Turns out it actually means John Servant, so "JohnServesYou" would've been more accurate.)
I have no clue.
i saw it somewhere, and i liked the name. it's simple and good and i use it everywhere even though i'm a male
I was an emotional teenager who thought "life was too chaotic". I've grown fond of the name over the years, so I still use it to this day.
I'm anxious. And a furry. OwO (but shyly)
Gotta get those onlyfans subs! Same username on there. Nah but fr, I can't work hard- I'm useless in a lot of ways, idk what I was born to do if not laze in the sun and disrespect authority
