40 yo you embracing the name again because you realized that agonizing over what random people think about a perfectly fine username isn't worth your time.

(I could've made a picture here but I'm also not agonizing over what random people think about my laziness.)

Who says 40 yo you can't come up with an embarrassing username?

Not in your case though Jesus_666

[–] Jesus_666@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That name was legitimately chosen in my mid-teens for a short-lived troll account. I wanted something that sounded controversial without actually making a statement.

Then I realized that my old username sucked and just stuck with it.

I always think of Hearthstone's rogue, every time I see this phrase.

Happy feast of Winter Veil!

My 19 year old stepson set his gmail address when he was 13. It contains the phrase "anal beads" and the number 420. He hates it when I bring it up.

[–] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago

I set the Xbox username "Myname420", myname was of course my name. I didn't know what 420 meant at the time, I just thought it looked good. Later I wanted to change it, but it was paid and I didn't care that much, it only showed up in Minecraft when I logged in (because that was the only game tied to that username I played).

Having worked for online customer support it was always fun to get the people who were embarrassed to read you their email address to look up their account.

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hello BiggusDickus@aol.com,

Thank you for being a customer today.

[–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 4 points 2 years ago

…I see a flight reservation with hotel stay and shuttle transportation from the airport for you and your wife, Incontinentia Buttocks.

How may I assist you, today?

[–] nik9000@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago

My entire professional persona is tied to the username I thought was super cool when I was 12. I'm so glad it's not offensive and only a little lame.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Na, username worked out like a charm.

[–] dipshit@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

tell me about it

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Me choosing my real name back then

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Me having to deal with all the other "me"s who are jealous they have numbers after their real name

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Me ending up trans and resenting my dead name:

[–] Shelbyeileen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Neopets I was ShelbysTheBomb and SqueeksDaFlyer. In 2019, I joined again as ShelbyEileenCosplay. The website really hasn't changed and it's nostalgic and so good for my mental health

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I'm glad I have my outlook account because my other emails are pretty unprofessional.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I remember cringing some time after I made my username. Later figured out, that it's actually OK, and I use it everywhere.
