How did you choose your username?

r/

I’m bored so, tell me, how did you decide your username?

Edit: how I chose my username: It’s actually my username on all of my apps but I came up with it for Duolingo (in 2022, I was 10), I wanted something cool and slay and dangerous (lol) and came up with QueenFireblade.

    I tried to think of the two descriptors that most often described me. The interplay was unintentional. Fuck it, we ball.

    I wanted an unforgettable username. And I had just watched the Hobbit a few days prior to joining reddit.

  14. DryFoundation2323 Avatar

    I didn’t. Somehow I was just assigned to me. I don’t remember the details, but this is not one that I would have picked. It was probably a suggestion from the software.

    I was making an account on something and I’m an insomniac and didn’t want to disclose anymore information than that so anonymous came to mind. And then boom, I just kept it as a username for random things.
