Hey Pandas, What's The Story Behind Your Username? (Closed)

My name is Bob and I'm from Philadelphia, PA USA. Back in the days of Commodore 64s, I used an online service called Q-Link. It asked for a user name and I tried to be creative but it was either taken (IE: FlyersFan, FlyerBob, IgglesFan, you get the idea) and every time Q-Link would suggest something like "RobertS157" etc. Sounded like a robot model number! So I just typed in the fact that I'm from Philly and my name is Bob. It took and so user Philly Bob was born! I used it as a SysOp handle when I ran my own BBS and 36 years later I'm still known on the webs (and on a few album liner notes!) as Philly Bob! Moved away and for some reason, my new friends call me that. Or just plain Philly. I do however, get "Billy Bob" on many first introductions and have to correct them by saying "Philadelphia Robert!"

I’m a Twenty One Pilots fan, so Blurryface. “My name’s Blurryface and I care what you think.” - Stressed Out, from the album Blurryface.

Ignore that post above, my username is based off of Technoblade’s (rest in peace), and when he died, I realized this was the perfect chance to become his successor. So, I figured since Techno and Dubstep are both types of music, so I added Blade to it, and now it’s my username.

When I became a college DJ way back in the day, we had to choose an on-air name and I drew a blank (pun intended). Where we had to enter it on the form it said, "Fill in the blank," so...

People are always complaining about onion cutting ninjas and it is me and it has been the whole time

I'm a Harry Potter and Queen fan. So I thought of a creative name and came up with this username. I don't think I will change it though.

my name's Istax because I saw a Pringles packet with an advert for an "Instax" brand camera... I change a letter and got my name!

henry russel is my name because im lazy but the seal is because it is cute

I chose Huddo's sister because that is the only nickname that really stuck when I was at school. I am the older siblings but my brother was always more social and known as Huddo so when someone asked who I was the answer was Huddo's sister.

My mother and father gave me this name.

I came across the name Actaeon from Greek mythology and used it for a writing project. Eventually, I changed the main character's name but Actaeon had grown on me.

I grew up in the Bible Belt and have been agnostic since middle school. My family was furious to hear this and probably the most disappointed I've seen them at me (they ignore it at this point). Due to the reactions of southerners to anything less than Christian, I tacked on the name Cross as a little joke to me.

So, rather than being torn apart by hounds, I've been torn apart by family and some others for not believing in the Good Lord.

Well I loved the name Storm but It was used a lot and I always had trouble using it it was often taken so I thought well I need a new name so I thought for a while and found i lov the terms that ended in 'ified'

Mine is pretty straight forward. Everyone calls me Caro (if I'm lucky).

I wanted to be ✨ a s s f e t i c ✨ but it didn’t work out 💅

'Wide awake at 3am' because just that. Tis better to Bored Panda at that hour than to read news websites.

Dawn is what my parents almost named me as a baby

Mattewis is a cartoon cat from an 90's cartoon/puppet show called "Liewe Heksie"
He belonged to a sweet but not-so-bright witch. - My favourite show as a child.
The 88 is my birth year which I only add if the username is already taken.

I created my pfp as an oc from a base and asked friends on zoom what I should name it.

It is my name. Well near enough. No story.

I’ve always been super paranoid about someone I know recognizing me on here, so I came up with the idea of not really using a name at all. Now I’m “not telling you “ my name
