Ask Lemmy

Means potato / lame

An ex drinking buddy was drunk and high as F and would butcher the name of several people. I couldn’t let this one die.

water, metal, pressure and faith.

leaky showers and prayers.

Around the time I first started using this username about 7 or so years ago, I was playing through the Megaman Zero games, that take place approximately 100 years after the events of Megaman X, which take place during "year 21xx". So 'Zero22xx' specifically references the version of Zero from the Megaman Zero games.

On top of that, I also just thought it was a cool mix of letters and numbers that can look pretty random if you don't know the games, or if I'm not using a profile pic.

The only annoying thing is that at some point around the time I created this username, I started seeing an anime character called 'ZeroTwo' around. So I guess it could be mistaken that I'm referencing that too.

randomly generated

Resol - can mean a number of different things. It's the first 5 letters of the word "resolution". It's also the word "loser" spelled backwards. It's two notes on a keyboard (D and G in Anglo-Saxon music notation). And it just looks and sounds cool in my opinion.

van - the Dutch word meaning "of" or "from". Note that I am not referring to actual vans (the German equivalent being "von", which also appears in a lot of names). Also I prefer spelling that word completely in lowercase.

Lemmy - isn't it obvious? It's this wonderful website.

Put them together, and you get "Resol van Lemmy". It sounds pretty nice, don't you think? Especially since I really hate my real name.

I believe it's self explanatory.

Old demo crew I formed with school friends when I was a teenager.

Found a Kraken in Ultima Online. Thought it was rad and didn't know how to spell it as an 11 year old.

HUM - The Scientists

Keep this benzine ring around your finger, and think of me when everything you wanted starts to end

The song is one of my favorites. About a couple scientists, probably in a relationship, testing drugs

With HUM, you never can really tell what they are talking about but it's always pretty poetry and awesome music. With a good imagination.

I had a job doing QA where I had to create user accounts. Some Guy was one of the three that I created every day.

My page name, ShinigamiOokamiRyuu, is an amalgamation of different anime characters from anime whose characters I have cosplayed as.

My nickname (the thing that says "Call me Lenny/Leni") is based on one of my nickname preferences. I have quite a few, my birth name being Valentina, which allows for a lot of nicknames (including Leni, which is one of the shorthands for Valentina, though Tina is the most popular) that get changed around depending on who I communicate with.

I read an article, that the executioner who operated the electric chair was sometimes called the state electrician. I liked that, as I like many little known words and phrases. It has nothing to do with his job, the euphemism just tickled my fancy.

I liked Legos and I liked Pikachu at the time(I was 11 or so? Trying to make a Minecraft account lol)

I don't think I'll be able to use this name for anything commercial if I wanted to do that...

Just an old meme.

Tenno, wake up. It's time to put on the silly norg fish mask from cetus and make it look good.

School nickname

In Portuguese "zero hora" is the midnight shift, people started making jokes when I slept in class and the name got stuck.

I couldn't think of a name but I wanted an account. Every time I tried to think of something, I hit a mental block. "I don't want to"

It's a reference to a Simpsons episode, where Bart writes "nobody likes a sunburn slapper" on the blackboard in the opening.

The way I drove and the papers I used for rolling joints back when I was a teenager

Do I really need to spell it out?

I love frogs and was hungry when I made my account.

My cousin, brother and I used to get high and play MTG quite a bit back in the day. There's a card called "Reef Pirates" that we used to joke around and call them Reefer Pirates. When I was making an account on Diablo 2 some time around then it's what popped into my head and stuck.

Calvin and Hobbes. I added a 'y' to the end because I could.

It's related to my first name. But some letters removed and others rearranged.

It means bare, naked, possession-less.

It's a new one I made up when I joined Lemmy. Not sure how I exactly ended up with this but it's the only one I made in over a decade. I like nicknames that sound like actual names but are still unique, and I wanted something that sounds nice and gender-neutral.
Anyway, my nicknames usually become part of my identity. So I'm as much Thelsim as I am nowadays :)

I used to see the F1 in the so called boring years.

Its a me, mario

The Reddit API debacle that killed third party apps.

CB radio user names are called handles. One of my nicknames is The Vandal. I think Subterranean Homesick Blues is one of Dylan's best. Violà.

I was playing some crappy F2P MMO (Perfect World, maybe?) and I made a warrior of some werewolf race. Just played with random wolf-related combinations and settled on this. Quit after two days and the username carried on for probably 15 years now.

I don't even really know all that much about Stalin. I just pulled it out of my ass.

It’s like 15 years old from back when I used to PVP in EVE online. Vaguely weird to pronounce and towards the middle of the alphabet so I don’t get primaried

I think I picked it when registering with Sharky Forums back in like 2000, it just means a wage labor worker.

It's from valarin (Tolkien's language of the Valar)

https://glaemscrafu.jrrvf.com/english/motsvalarins.html

Akasan is 'he says'

-z suffix is a person's name

So it's basically 'Teller' (I'd say storyteller) in valarin.

The 'h' was supposed to help in pronunciation, it only mildly does, I find

Username should be pretty self explanatory. If you still don't get it you can either ask me or bravely run away.

I read it in one of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books

My name's Darren. Here I am in the 'net.

I made this account shortly after watching Jackass 4. One of the new guys brings his dad on, this guy served time and did not look like he was one to fuck with. They put his head in a fishbowl with a tarantula and he instantly went into full bitch mode. That man's name was Dark Shark.
