my dad came up with it on his own and I adopted it

I just really like the character.

I didn’t.

It was random username that Crunchyroll generated for me. I liked the absurdity of it.

I had a boss back in the day that I had a really good rapport with, and he would jokingly call me Shrek because I was almost a foot taller than he was. I also worked in a lot of restaurants in my late teens to early twenties and found a love for cooking that has never really gone away.

Minor changes to the random name generator from EvE online and World of Warcrack.

I learned how to solve a Rubik's cube and figured I could make a username out of it.

Plus, it doubles as a reference to a pixel on a screen and I'm a security engineer, so... It kinda works both ways.

I like penguins and 90s nostalgia. It's a Legends of the Hidden Temple fake team name.

Could I have gone for the alliteration? Perhaps. But Purple Parrots already existed. And I don't like pink.

Data structure and algorithm class in college.

I got it off of a hair dryer.

Named after Jubei Kibagami of Ninja Scroll, first anime movie I ever watched. The 08 was my jersey number when I played soccer.

Ninja Scroll

I eat a lot of pasta

Keys on a qwerty keyboard.

My name's Hiram. I was born in Chihuahua, and raised in Chicago.

My xbox Gamer tag was oXOrangeBudXo because i was very cool and unique and just started smoking weed. I then went normal and was OrangeBud in different ways. Then Orange because i didnt smoke anymore. And then PixelOrange because i like the pixels. And if that name is taken, its PixeIOrange with upper i.

Random word generator.

When ICQ was new, I met a girl online that went by Tina. Cute blonde with a gap in her front teeth. She and I would video chat all day while I worked. Many NSFW video chats from her side.

She named me Tina's Horny Boyfriend. And I lived in Texas.

Sadly, we never met and I lost track of her.

I had a screensaver in the late 90's that made random but grammatically correct sentences. One sentence said "I once was a vinyl wombat"

I used the username blackandred56, until one day I used blackrose56, and since then it's blackrose56 or roserose56. I just liked rose.

Because Reddit is run by morons.

It was tough, but I squeeked it in just under the wire.

I don't remember where my name came from but maybe it's a variation off the NES game The Astyanax

It's just a name I put into a BBS when I signed up 35ish years ago and I've used everywhere since.

Big fan of the Polish Hussars.

I'm a gentleman that enjoys neon lights.

my name + super withour -er + favourite number

It was the in-game alias of a very skilled swordsman and skirmisher in the MMORPG called Vindictus. We became good friends and played regularly for several years, conquering the toughest horrors, but one day, he never logged back on. So I started using his username to honor his kindness and prowess with the blade. If you're reading this, just remember that everyone in Lost Paradise [LP] remembers you!

I had to make a new name for the then brand new game: league of legends. I was high af and came up with this. Inspired by boss names in wow I guess.

I use a Dvorak keyboard and am not very creative.

I casted spells

I am god. In my language

A username I used from other sites.

I wrote several stories about a gardevoir named Azula.

She then later became my fursona, so the name stuck as a replacement for a past username
