I had a similar names. I didn't care about "expressing myself" and didn't want you link it to myself in any way, so every time I would just accept the random gibberish reddit suggests when creating a new account.
Like my current RailcarXxxx username. It was just suggested I think when creating my first Lemmy, and just reused it through instances
Yeah now I'm kind of worried about my pseudonym. This isn't my first pseudonym mind you, and it won't be the last, but this is the most "well known" around my internet friends.
