Violet (my birth flower) + 08 (my birth year). Pretty basic.

    Ice, it’s short, cool and was available because the fediverse is small. Comes as the short version of my old minecraft username I made when I was like 8 y.o that has become my online handle - Iceblade (very cool to kid me) + 02 (birth year).

    My Xbox gamertag/Steam id is “Rose in Shadows” and also using “Rosa Umbrarum” and variations.

    The inspiration came from The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. The last line of the novel is “Stat rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda tenemus” (“The rose of the past endures only in name; we hold the bare names”) Which is why I usually put “Yesterday’s Rose” in the name fields.

    I don’t know much of Latin at all. Also, the z in the username was for edginess, to make it a Notorious Hacker Alias or someshit.

    It started by realizing other users, the government, AI scrapers, and the internet have potential to be far too creepy and/or investigative to continue using any personal details, namely my name or date of birth. I definitely scrubbed my birth year from everything, haven’t quite replaced all my accounts using my m/d though since my name is far from unique. So I have a vaguely techy pun of a movie reference. Zero Cool was the young alias of the main character of Hackers (1995)
