This has probably been asked before but I wanted to add another layer/an alternative.
So, I ask, where did your username/pseudonym/nickname originate from? Whatâs the meaning behind it?
Or alternatively, which is the most creative/interesting nickname origin you have come across?
Birch, please.
I studied abroad while the Two and a half Men season with Ashton Kutcher aired. A guy at a pizza place always wanted to chat but he barely spoke any English and somehow he really wanted to tell me that I look like Ashton Kutcher. Had similar length beard and hair at the time. A few days after that I signed up on Reddit.
I used to play GH3 on PS2 a lot and i played boss battles quite frequently
One time, in another game called Soldat, when a clan was recruiting they told me to change my old nickname since it was bizarre (i was 15 yo). I was looking for inspiration and quickly came up with Lou (final boss in GH3), added ` so i would be recognised easily while also not impersonating anyone unintentionally.
Few months passed by and i saw someone on some Soldat-related IRC channel chilling with my nickname and that person wasnât actually impersonating me (he/she used that nickname for much longer time than me since âLouâ is actually a first name which for me, as a native polish speaker, wasnât that obvious at the time) so that huge coincidence made me come up with an addition to my nickname - 2nd boss in GH3, famous guitarist - Slash. In the end i started using LouSlash`
As time passed by, in some places/websites/games i couldnât use ` so i drop it occasionally.
I had a job doing QA where I had to create user accounts. Some Guy was one of the three that I created every day.
I was eating something when I made the account. Make a wild guess what it might have been.
