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?
My name is Helen. I hated that there were no good nicknames for it (ugh, Helly…) but I love my name. Mentioned this to a friend who was like “you could use other parts of the name for a nickname…” and suggested Lenny. As a woman on the internet, having a gender ambiguous username is very beneficial, so I adopted it, and I absolutely love it. I added extra ns because then it’d look like bad kerning Lemmy.
