Without using pronouns (me, he, she, it, etc) or articles (a, an, the), how did you come up with your user name?

2y 10mon ago by lemmy.world/u/HomesliceAbe in asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Essentially, I want us to sound like cavemen.

I'll start:

HomesliceAbe was playing Mario kart and HomesliceAbe's dad couldn't think of name of one of courses (HomesliceAbe thinks name was "Moonview Highway?). HomesliceAbe's dad called course "Homeslice Highway" and HomesliceAbe thought new name was hilarious. Also, HomesliceAbe is big fan of Abraham Lincoln.

Thelsim likes the sound of Thelsim’s own name, so Thelsim approves of this question :)
Thelsim is a unique enough name, if you see Thelsim somewhere else, there’s a good chance it is Thelsim.
Thelsim thought it up on the spot and kind of identifies with it now. It’s vague and genderless enough to apply to anyone and can still be remembered as a normal name. It’s become Thelsim’s online identity.
Caveman enough for not-Thelsim? :)

Either programming or working on electronics projects or procrastinating on Matrix, Reddit, HN, or Lemmy. Being on Lemmy implies procrastinating on all those things, therefore "nothacking". (Seems to be internet unique too, but not sure due to abundance of people using #nothacking in hashtags)

Is final iteration of long chain of names. Starts with "Metaqione," a slightly off English phonetic spelling of Italian word for "jester," pronounced as if name were Spanish. Name often shortened to "Meta," which was cool, and then Meta used name as branding for all creations. Then, big corporation decides to change name. And then Meta was pissed, decided that "Metaqione" was too hard to pronounce correctly anyway, and therefore changed name.

"Metaqione" became "Mesaqoraz," a new iteration and chapter. New name had something related to universe and metaphysics, but then Mesaqoraz no remember now. Name "Mesaqoraz" was actually very short-lived, and was not attractive to Mesaqoraz because name was too complicated and hard to remember, which resulted in truncated name "Mesa," but "Mesa" was too common and is real word in many languages, and initials of Mesa's real name were promptly added to front, creating "Delmesa." Because Lemmy new and small, and programming.dev even smaller, "Mesa" was available, which is nickname for Delmesa.
