A real life nickname I've had since I was 7. I've just stuck with it for the past 26 years. It actually originated from the Beanie Baby Lizzy. And Izzy is just Lizzy the Lizard without Legs. 🐍

Just some random thing that comes on my mind at the time, i guess.

Way back in the day I wanted my club penguin to be named sparky, but that name was already taken. So club penguin recommended to me sparky678348

The first time I tried karaoke, I was a bit intoxicated and worried that, having a common name, another Nick would get confused. My parents worked by full name incorrectly, so, I figured that that would be a great way to differentiate it, not realizing at the time that the name "Nick" itself normally has a "k" in it, making "Nick w/ a K" arguably more confusing. After sobering up, I found the whole concept wonderfully silly and decided to switch to it as my main screen name.

I had a bottle of maple syrup on my desk and I'm not a very creative person.

To paraphrase a longer explanation, I’m a Nintendo fan, I like Mario games, I love the Bowser fights. I wanted some alliteration on that and Bashing came to mind. Played with that and ended with BowserBasher

I hit randomize in a passphrase generator until it farted out a mental image that made me laugh.

Because it’s clear to me that in order to solve the problem of school shootings, we must arm kindergarteners with grenade launchers.

I just want to have a good time

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 4 points 1 year ago

I chose mine because one day I had nothing to do and was super bored, so I just stared at ceiling and blackedout. And mind you I wasn't tired or anything neither did I sleep, I just lost consciousness because I was bored.

I lived in Tropical country and iced cool water is the best

It's the back of my name stuck on the front of my name. Also hope it makes me sound like a knight of the seven kingdoms.

I came up with it when I created my second acc on Reddit; I didn't want to spend time thinking of a username so I just thought of the first two words that described my mood at the time and went with it. It means "melancholic potato", I like how dumb it sounds

[–] beta@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Beta as in Beta Pictoris, a cool star.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I wanted to add "the magnificent" to the end of it but it didn't fit so

[–] ConstipatedWatson@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Well, I'm waiting to drop a standard line that can be deduced from my username, but I still haven't landed a good post to do so...

Also, I wanted it to be disjoint from my former Reddit usernames
