I had the intention of dropping in on those 'is it octopodes or octopuses' debates with 'um, actually it's octopeople'. Only I got tired of the joke after the 2nd or 3rd time so there you go.

I randomly created it about 25yrs. ago when I was first hanging out on message boards, and I just stuck with it.

siipale@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

My username is a portmanteau of words siivu and viipale which are two different types of slices. I'm not sure if English differentiates these two types of slices but siipale is something between those two or both at the same time.

Anyway, in addition to being an interesting portmanteau my username sounds similar to sopuli so it's a perfect fit for Lemmy.

The thought of it was funny to me.

PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Well you were right lol. But I have to ask, why 1 instead of l, surely it wasnt taken

Vengefu1Tuna@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Thanks! Glad you think so.

When I was creating the gamertag, someone else had the L version. I was surprised too.

herrvogel@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Is it a the other guys reference?

Vengefu1Tuna@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

Surprisingly no, I hadn't seen the movie yet when I came up with it. It was really surreal for me when I saw that scene in the movie.

i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 2y

It was my only non-bot account on this instance which only existed to create communities. My main account's instance closed down so I made this my main.

I haven't posted in !totallynotrobots@lemmy.world which I really should do as it's the perfect username for that community.

FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

My original gamer tag on Xbox was gameknight named after the Minecraft book series then when I moved to pc the name stuck around for a little bit on steam and eventually I wanted a silly placeholder name so it was SeñorFlipFlop.

Well the most temporary fixes are often the most permanent solutions and with the exception of discord all my usernames now are some variation of flip flop with my gta rockstar name being Flippy-Flopp and planet side being FL1P1E5FL0P

pseudo@jlai.lu · 2 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Because I could'nt get it on Reddit. So first thing I did arriving in the Fediverse was to leverage the power of multiinstance to get the perfect pseudonyme.

PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Best part of lemmy is you can get any username, even if its taken theres other instances where it isnt.

pseudo@jlai.lu · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Made up the name Pronell Mordini for a MUD called Kaspelheim back in 1994. The game didn't last long but I've used it online since then.

PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Damn youve got an online persona thats 30 years old! Thats impressive

Pronell@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

And it's never taken, so that's a plus.

Although someone else got pronell@gmail.com and I'm a little annoyed.

My best friend had two Russian Blue Cats. One named Raistlin, the other Foucault. Did you name his brother Caramon just to explain the sibling rivalry?

Rouxibeau@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I had a black cat I'd named Dalamar years before that. Sadly, no siblings for the child and no naming rights over the cat's brother.
