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? What’s the meaning behind it?
Or alternatively, which is the most creative/interesting nickname origin you have come across?
What about you pip? My first thought was the main character of Kid Icarus.
Actually, it depends, and the final form of my username on most social media platforms has a very long story.
It all began when I found this meme funny.
And my username became pippipthediddlydo.
But that honestly became quite a handful, so it got shortened to PipPipTDD. Then shortened even more to PipPip, as people honestly just called me Pip most of the time anyways.
During this period my friends and I had developed a tradition where on Halloween, just for the day, we would put “spooky” in front of our username. I don’t remember how my username evolved in this timeframe, but at some point I decided (because I’m very funny /s) to take it a step further and in a very ironic fashion, add a “not” in front of that spooky, to then remove the “not” on Halloween. So the entire year I’m “not spooky” until the one day that I am. And a few adjustments here and there got me to my current username on most platforms (because pip gets taken literally everywhere): notspookypip.
So you could say your full name is notspookypippithediddlydo or nspptdd. That looks like it could be a *nix daemon.
When the instance admin calls you by your full internet name 😳
I’m betting on major Python package index enthusiast!
