Baron is from Brian Blessed as Voltan in Flash Gordon yelling "BARINNNNNNNN" at Timothy Dalton, and not knowing it was spelled with an "i" instead.

Kinda random tbh. I used to use "gerry" but that name was quite often used because it's a Dutch name. So I needed something extra. In a bit of a goofy mood I came across some appelflappen, Dutch food comprised of apple sort of wrapped by pastry. And, uh, my brain did brain stuff.
Roleplayed an orc for 20 years.
First name i picked just stuck. Randomly choose it using the prefix for informal acknowledgement, and the suffix for inappropriate
Second line of Mama Told Me by Three Dog Night.
I stole it from the bad guy from an obscure anime game, then added Halo related numbers because the name was already taken.
Twas foretold in the stars that one day a raccoon would arise, one of debatable taste, ethics and moral code. Many eons later, I took on that mantle and ascended to my true calling
I was the first Red Hat Certified Engineer in the state of Oregon.
Impressive!
Been using it forever.
I rolled dice
It a compound from ludność meaning population and trolling so Lud + rol
I think I have thrown a t as it was unwieldy to say.
Because I am Billgamesh, king of Uruk, the walled city
Using a name generator and a list of nearest stars, then I chose something that sounded cool.
I was joking and laughing it up with my friends at an outdoor bar in Texas where I stopped at the bar on my way in from the airport (grew up there but left after university cuz Texas is too right wing dystopia for me).
Lady gets mad and tells me to quiet down
I reply with “mam, I came here to do 2 things… hoot and holler, and I dun run outa hoots”
I saw the scene on Reddit many years ago and thought it was hilarious, so it stuck.
It's the tastiest way I've had it.
I grow stuff (mostly peppers and tomatoes for a while now, but I’m adding squash to hand pollinate and strawberries this year) in deep water culture hydro, which involves a 5 gallon bucket of nutrient water and an air pump creating bubbles. Super basic setup geared toward “permanent” plants that keep producing indefinitely, or big plants like weed. Works well since complex and long-term don’t mix well for me. Way way back in the day on the forum I used to frequent, dwc setups were called bubble buckets.
And I like monkeys, I relate to them.
However doing a quick internet search shows that apparently there’s an anonymous recreational drug information page under the same name (among numerous other things) so that’s a bit awkward.. I’ve got nothing against drugs, but nothing to do with that site either.
Normal ghost -related name was taken. Geist was also taken so I did a fun misspelling.
Uhhhmmmm
I would tell anecdotes and stories that wandered off into the woods & an old friend said I had 'tangentism'
I ran a random name generator until it spit out something I vibed with

My original username was LinuxTux, then LnxTx, and now lnxtx (more neutral).
Back then (~2005) I was fascinated by Linux.
It's an accidental misspelling of Kichea, and was my Eve Online character's first name. The misspelling made it unique for many years, until a kitchen sink company came along and started using it
First wow character. Not sure how I came up with it. I knew I wanted it in "two parts" so I could name all my wow characters the same way: rutrum, vinrum, seprum...and many others Im sure. Havent logged into world of warcraft in many many years.
It a pseudonym that I use for lemmee.
😘
Line from a solid song by a local band i found when i was 16. Oddly enough, it never occured to me how much i liked it as a name until a decade later.
had to take it before someone else on my instance got there first
The day the 3rd party apps left reddit, I've been wandering around, looking for what once was
Sanctus Sanctorum
I twist on my middle name and profession
When I first played Mass Effect I thought it was silly that I could give Shepard a first name that would never be used, so I tried to come up with the absolute dumbest first name I could think of. Turns out BanjoShepard is available on practically every platform, so it became my internet persona.
Don't remember the "FuzzLord" part, but Ace comes from whenever a game asked for a 3 letter initial for scores or if I needed to enter a name for a save, I always chose Ace.
I presume the "Lord" part comes from me sometimes being an arrogant prick at times who thinks he's better than others when in reality I ain't much better than the next guy.
It's my first name and a single syllable of my last name. This is my standard user account that all my family and friends know, so if they want to find me online, they know what to look for.
I used to do private user accounts so I could post things that I didn't want people in my life to find, but then I realized I just didn't care to use them. I stay true to myself, even online. Anything I post is what I would happily share with anyone in my life anyway, so there's no reason for me to maintain multiple accounts anymore.
Also, I'm retired now, so it's not like I need to watch what I say online. I don't have to fear my boss finding less-than-professional social media content I've posted. My friends are all still working and they get really nervous about broadcasting our chats, like when I'm trying to stream our gaming sessions on Twitch. They sometimes vent about their work, and they're afraid of their employer finding it. (BTW, I don't record our game sessions.)
One friend in particular will ditch our game nights completely if I mention it's going to be livestreamed. I live halfway across the country from him and I don't even know his employer, but he's paranoid they'll somehow stumble across my Twitch stream and recognize his voice or something. I'm lucky if I get 2 viewers all night long, so I'm pretty sure he's safe.
I am a lifelong fan of Tolkien and the colour of my hair is golden.
Abbreviation of my real name, and a Chinese slang
I used to really like Shakespeare and Serious Sam. Still do, actually.
