I don’t mean my username! Yours!
I guess this is more of a game and maybe not strictly the right place. But, the idea is to make a top level reply with you asking ‘guess’ or saying ‘:)’ or what have you, and everyone else should answer what they think the username means or refers to, without looking any words or concepts up! Off the cuff, what do you think it means when you see this person’s username?
Not sure about the mobile apps, but if you hover over someone’s name in Lemmy it will show their username if they have a display name set. My username is quite boring and straightforward, but I like seeing other people’s weird usernames especially on semi-anon places.
Bonus: What do you visually think when you read it? Even if you misread it as a typo, what did you imagine when you read it & saw their avatar?
Some may get mine others may think I’m a weirdo.

I can’t remember who is the Annie that is thirsted over the most, but I assume that one’s bossom.
Do you want a banana?
Mine should be easy enough lol
Spanish usernames unite!
It’s been 18 years since I had spanish class but uhhhh, the cat is white?
I think my username is hard to guess
I thought it was fizzle beam so that was clear, a beam fizzling out. But a Bleam? hmm…Not sure!
the Fizzle beam was the name of an attack I used in a role play game, I was a fire mage ( a fizzle is a failed nuclear explosion) , and bleam is just beam with a L in the middle, for no reason
Ah so my misreading was correct! That’s a fun username!
Nobody is guessing this one
You don’t go on pizza
Hello!
nails on chalkboard
Haha not quite. It was a fandomly generated gamer tag for games for windows live when I was young. Somehow I remembered it and it just sorta stuck lol
If I had used xbox gamer tags when I was young, I’m sure I would have been stuck on some very long standing nonsense name, but we only had nintendo so no real online capabilities lol.
Haha bless. Well Nina is a nice name to be sure. Glad microsoft didnt get the chance to replace your identity :)
Two small hints for mine: 1. Latin, and 2. it has nothing to do with the smoking chimp avatar.
I’m actually curious what people would say about mine!
It’s Dutch short for telefoon
That’s a good one too!
Foon to me is the sound of a pool noodle being thrown.
That’s hilarious, I think I’ll use that next time someone asks me where the nickname comes from 😁
I’d love to participate but I think mine may be a little too easy. haha
six pixel art tapes
It’s a beat tape, but absolutely! -
Mine’s insanely on the nose… i’m not very creative.
Mine is easy to guess
Your name is Dick.
Only in the 1940s
Hey, I don’t know how old you are!
Is your name Richard?
Why yes, yes it is!
Go for it <3
Your name is Catty and you you pat Cats. I did almost read it as Paddy Cake but Catty Pake instead.
yup
Came up with this name during my edgy teenager phase
edgy as a clue, huh? hmmmmm…I can’t imagine why 3 Vis would be edgy lol. 3 V for Vendettas?
My brain is taking threevi to sound like eevee and 3 IVs but that’s because I eternally have pokemon on the brain.
36?
Ding ding ding
Three VI = three sixes = 666
I’m in
It just sounds like a name, but I’ll admit I misread it as Finlin (how my weird mouth says Finland) pretty quickly.
Ah, interesting :D Actually, it is a name, but from a fantasy novel
Sup?
Go for it!
I know privet isn’t private, but it does seem like a solider named moshi.
