I'll give you one more guess...
It's supposed to sound like "pattern" and was meant to evoke that. It's meant to refer to sort of "patterns in life", a sort of interconnectedness that binds us all together and these universal experiences that we all seem to share. Or something like that. There's probably already a word for it, but whatever, it's what I've been using for internet ages now.
I was playing a silly game online and I was so good at it I was basically stomping other players. Tac tac is how we describe the sound of walking loudly in Slovene (there are other ways to describe it: lomastiti, topotati...) and so I combined my name (Gregor) with tac tac and GregorTacTac became my username almost everywere.
Mine is inspired by a comic book character I actually got to know through a video game I had tried on my first PC several years ago now.
It's vaguely related to my old reddit user name.
