Topic: What's The Meaning of Your Username?

I've always loved playing Mario games since I was a child, and Mario has always been my favorite character of all time. The 92 comes from the year I was born, 1992. My username is a bit simple, admittedly, but I honestly like it the way it is.

I was looking for a username for splatoon and settled with this!

Inspired by Turning Red (my absolute favorite animated movie of 2022 alongside "The Bad Guys" and that "Pinocchio" movie from Guillermo Del Toro), it's my "Turning Redsona", a green-colored kitsune (a fox in Japanese mythology with many tails, but unlike the actual mythology my version doesn't have magic powers aside from shifting between human and fox).

Was hoping to find a thread like this! I was actually about to make something similar to this.

My username is supposed to be a combination of the word “pastel” (like in the art material, not color) and the last part is taken from either “ravioli“ or “cannoli.” I wanted something silly that was related to art and food, and when I made this account, I was really obsessed with oil pastels when drawing. Though, I’ll admit I came up with the account name on the spot and I realized that a part of my username shares the same name as a Greek sesame seed candy called pasteli, so my account name is literally just food lol.

@Pastellioli I'm not sure what the following information adds here, but I'm gonna share it anyway: I like eating foods with sesame seeds on.

Thinking about it, I'm going to take it that it means I think your username is cool.

Where I live there is a Second World War German communication bunker underneath my house.... therefore....
Huh just noticed I already said this back in Feb 2023.
Who revived this thread?

Back when I started to lurk on the Internet, the enemy Hammer Bro. and the Pokémon Gallade were among my favorite characters. The former due to his performance in Mario Strikers Charged and the latter for its high physical stat at the time the physical/special split happened in Pokémon.

But as you can see, my pfp doesn't match my username.

@gcunit Thank you!

@Bunkerneath I commented on it and wanted to share stuff, but sorry if it caused issues…

My username doesn’t really have a meaning. I was trying to make a account for roblox and the site reccommended the username Greatluigi so I picked that because it’s easy to remember.

Sonic Heroes is my favorite Sonic game. When you're in power formation as Knuckles and you punch, Knuckles grunts as he does so. Fans misinterpreted it as "S**t, rock, yeah!" most notably. So here's the breakdown:
"shift" - because my username has to be family friendly
"barack" - Nathaniel Bandy's misinterpretation of the second punch, from Minus World's 8-Player Sonic Heroes Race
"yeaugh" - A deliberate misspelling of "yeah" that I use as an excited, stupid way of saying "yeah."

It was formerly "N0SEGaming" where "N0SE" was a combination of letters in my full name in order (I had to use a 0 because it was NOSEGaming but I sent the confirmation email to an account I no longer use on accident) and I do, indeed, game.

um.. I like potatoes

valtianeea = Val (Visions of Mana's protagonist) + Tianeea (Val's hometown)

SlamDunk22
Slam Dunk= i like basketball (i'm better at soccer tho)
22=2022 (the year i got my switch)

The name came to me in a dream when I was young.

@Ralizah That's a rather enigmatic explanation. Got any more detail about that dream? I'm intrigued.

most websites make you name yourself no one else has so one day I came up with the stupidest name I could think of so I would not have to worry about other names. My username just kinda stuck with me and I use it everywhere.

...I'm weird I guess. I'm bad at picking usernames but I guess it fits because, well, I am weird.

i guess i love splatoon and octoling and king rhymed and it was catchy and it stuck! i sometimes do want to change my username, but i cant be unrecognizable haha 😛

One of my favorite anime is an isekai called "The Rising of the Shield Hero". I named myself after that anime's main character's occupation. It's as simple as that.
