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.
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.
Redditors are stupid in very specific ways and it annoys me.
Just needed a name and combined a word with an animal
Less common anglicisation of Samyaza, first amongst the nephilim; a group of Angels that fell by marrying human women and teaching them knowledge.
Yes I am clearly a bit pretentious.
Hank likes hominy.
Surname plus 3 random numbers
From a famous Australian poem called... "Said Hanrahan"

Someone else took karl first and I want to know which one of you it was
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.
Ranidaphobic; but going with Frog-Man was a too on the nose rip off of Bat-Man (and it’s taken anyway).
I liked playing tachanka on R6, tht is short for TheHolyTachanka
Sometimes I get kinda pedantic.
When i joined the fediverse I decided to make a break from my old usernames.
Used to live in Norway when I joined reddit, and the whole Norse lore resonated with me. Back then I had a number attached, that wasn't needed on Lemmy anymore.
Shakespeare and Serious Sam.
I have no imagination and my legal name is Tanis Nikana.
It scans like a username when it’s all lower case and jammed together though.
Bit warden made it for me
Mothman+StarWars+Back to the Future
I saw a watch company use the name Omega, before I even knew it was the name of a greek letter.

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.

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 was promoted from the rank of Commander.
I was eating something when I made the account. Make a wild guess what it might have been.
I used to play GH3 on PS2 a lot and i played boss battles quite frequently
One time, in another game called Soldat, when a clan was recruiting they told me to change my old nickname since it was bizarre (i was 15 yo). I was looking for inspiration and quickly came up with Lou (final boss in GH3), added ` so i would be recognised easily while also not impersonating anyone unintentionally.
Few months passed by and i saw someone on some Soldat-related IRC channel chilling with my nickname and that person wasn't actually impersonating me (he/she used that nickname for much longer time than me since "Lou" is actually a first name which for me, as a native polish speaker, wasn't that obvious at the time) so that huge coincidence made me come up with an addition to my nickname - 2nd boss in GH3, famous guitarist - Slash. In the end i started using LouSlash`
As time passed by, in some places/websites/games i couldn't use ` so i drop it occasionally.
no imagination and I thpught it was funny image (current acc avatar)
Patrik/Pat is just my name, sometimes use Legendbird on sites because once it was the first thing I thought about (Zapdos, to be exact).
I like the word argyle and I'm angry
Just a greeting used in an RPG I really liked. As pretty much the only formal greeting in its setting, it seemed very overused, so a friend and I started using it in our friend group as a meme, and I decided that it actually goes pretty hard as a username.
