RE: What do your usernames mean? - ckester - 05-05-2020
Mine is just my own first initial and last name. So, hopefully, it doesn't mean anything but me.

This nickname was given to me as a pseudonym long time ago , on a forgotten IRC server.

Low-key doing my introduction here:
Code:
ē-káng - South port in Taiwanese, usually refers to Southern Taiwan
monyet - Monkey in Malaysian/Indonesian language, hence my avatarRE: What do your usernames mean? - pfr - 17-09-2020
I generally just google 18th century english words.
Pronunciation /rəˈmɪf(ə)rəs/
adjective/
Having (many) branches.
Origin/
Late 18th century. From post-classical Latin ramifer + -ous.
I'm thinking of shortening it to rami to join the 4 char club.
My Twitter handle is Blesiloquent because I've never got anything good to say...
EDIT: previous username was 'Ramiferous'
'pfr' is just my surname (Pfeiffer) shortened to 3 letters.
RE: What do your usernames mean? - seninha - 05-11-2021
Some of us changed our usernames recently...
Seninha is the diminutive (in Portuguese) of my surname.
Senninha (with one more n) is also the nickname of Ayrton Senna, a Brazilian Formula One driver whom I (almost) share my surname with.
It is pronounced /sẽˈnĩ.ɲɐ/ in General Portuguese; but as [sẽˈnĩ.ə] in my dialect (the n nasalizes the preceding vowel as in French; the h is silent).
The bird in my pic is a bird native to the Brazilian region my people is from.
The bird's hat is part of the folk costume of my people.

mine hardly means anything at all, aside from being an abbreviation of my current online pseudonym 'Aoi Koizumi'
RE: What do your usernames mean? - kuba - 02-10-2022
That's my first name. Kuba is short form of Jakub in Polish and means Jimmy.
RE: What do your usernames mean? - maksim - 03-10-2022
Nothing complicated, it's just my first name
RE: What do your usernames mean? - anthk - 11-10-2022
'A' it's the first letter of my name IRL, and 'nthk' comes from
'Nethack' because, well, games and retroemulation made me
to love computers a bit (I hated them when I used Win9X)
and I consider Nethack (now I prefer Slashem, same thing)
a blend of the geeky things I like,
such as games, computing, procedural generation, nerd culture
bits here and there, lateral thinking to solve hald problems,
and, well, you can play it remotely against almost any *NIX
out there.

My favorite food is soba. x0ba is a stylized version of it that hasn't been taken on most of the platforms I use.

RE: What do your usernames mean? - run3_c0d3z - 27-10-2023
Whenever I create a username or password I try to think of random words to combine.
Creating my pseudonym for nixers, I initially thought of runes, then coding.
Add in a little 133t speak and voila, run3_c0d3z.
