Performed a lot of Demonstration jumps into everything from airports, race tracks, professional sports stadiums, high school sports stadiums, golf courses, and a few other places that required skill and knowledge to land in safely.
Also, spent a lot of time teaching canopy skills to up and coming jumpers.
I once created a character in a story when I was a child about a Jack Green from the planet Æarth, and named an account on a popular site accordingly as a similarly young person, as I lacked nominative creativity, evidently. People kept getting confused between Æarth and Earth so I just changed it to Earth for future accounts.
I am terrible at names
The name i used before was "youtuber", which i "came up with" when creating my youtube account
This is the first name that wasnt already taken in Minecraft so i kept it
I asked Dr GPT for a list of nouns and adjectives with a particular theme and picked some I liked and combined them. I do the same process for all my digital identities.
It’s a reference to a more obscure Marx Brother, as in the 30s-40s comedy group. Does not have any special significance to me personally.
Quote from Fight Club
It came from long list of mispronounced words from a Ukrainian girl that came to our country when the war started.
The list is gold mine for usernames, I have to contact my friend who dates her to get it.
I can remember the Ace part of AceFuzzLord very well. Comes from me always using Ace whenever a game requires a profile name or a 3 letter initial.
The Fuzz Lord part I don't remember really at all, but I assume the Lord part comes from the fact I think pretty highly of myself despite the fact I'm a nobody.
Oh, and do y'all see AceFuzzLord or do y'all see Dizzy Devil Ducky? I have no idea who sees either. I see Ace and I've had other people see DDD. Either way, DDD comes from the fact that he's my favorite Tiny Toons character.
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.
Andrew t a
Andrew (teachers assistant)
Or depending on my mood
Andrew (total asshole)
I couldn't think of a better one, and just shortened my full name.
A fiend told me I'd make a good scooby-doo villain and it wasn't taken by anyone else.
Mine’s a music joke and a reference to a line from the song “Shiny” from Moana.
Though if my great grandfather was a god it was of strawberries which is nice. He’d grow plants and ship them to gardeners all over the east coast
it's better than what I had before
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.
I literally have a slur for a diagnosis.
Glitch from the original Pokemon Red/Blue.
I made an off hand joke about farts having accents once. It got some laughs and then I thought, "That would make a good username."
... aaand here we are today: You're welcome everybody!
Someone submitted a web form with this name.
Mine comes from the intro to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
I just wanted something short and reasonably pronounceable, as that's easier to remember.
In the past, I've used a FIPS-181 pronounceable password generator to generate pronounceable usernames that don't collide with existing usernames. But since the Threadiverse is still young, plus each new instance has its own username space, it's practical to have a very short username.
Switch "i" and "u".
Sick Fuck! :)
Wishful thinking
I can be a bit melodramatic and sassy, also like making music and looking good. Long-time fan miku fan too.
Just an old meme.
I have my email service generate an alias and I use that as my username. I delete my account every few months and make a new one on a different instance.
I'm a man that likes neon lights.
I think I picked it when registering with Sharky Forums back in like 2000, it just means a wage labor worker.
I misspelt it back in yahoo chat days (yea, that was a while ago) and stuck with it because it is unique enough that no one else would accidentally grab it.
My username is a reference to the Wug test, specifically this question: "This is a man who knows how to gling. Yesterday he glanged. Tomorrow he will _____."
My irl nickname is Lizard. This is the story:
I was at what was supposed to be FNM, but none of us were feeling Magic that day so we decided to play Secret Hitler, mostly because it was my fiancée's best friend's sister's birthday so she ended up picking the game.
If you haven't played Secret Hitler, at the start of the game you get a little envelope secretly telling you whether you are a Liberal, Fascist, or Hitler. Liberals want to pass liberal policies to win the game, the fascists want to pass fascist policies that give players ability to shoot dissidents and eventually get Hitler to win. The relevant thing is that Hitler and the Fascists are lizards; apparently the Liberals are normal people, but I don't know for sure since I've never played as a liberal.
Just to be clear, it's almost statistically impossible for me to have never played as a liberal. In each game I've played in, there was a total of 3 Fascists (including Hitler) and usually about a dozen Liberals. I should have been a liberal at least once by now, considering I got my nickname 2 years ago.
On this particular night, we played about a half dozen games, in which I was Hitler twice. I kept suprising them by doing well! They all know I am autistic and can't lie to save my own skin, so as the games went on they got progressively more tilted each time I was revealed to be a lizard. I was also getting frustrated because I really do not like lying!
At the start of the last game, I opened my envelope, saw a lizard, and I was just so fucking done. I snapped at the shuffler, "Are you even shuffling these cards?" and threw my envelope at him. He responded "Well, now I need to reshuffle. And for that you shall die!" and started chasing me around with the Nerf gun we had been using to shoot dissidents. Eventually he cornered me with me cowering and covering my face with my hands, and with a shout of "Die, Lizard!" he shot the gun.
I somehow caught the bullet in between my hands with my eyes closed! And that's why my name is Lizard.
