It's from valarin (Tolkien's language of the Valar)
https://glaemscrafu.jrrvf.com/english/motsvalarins.html
Akasan is 'he says'
-z suffix is a person's name
So it's basically 'Teller' (I'd say storyteller) in valarin.
The 'h' was supposed to help in pronunciation, it only mildly does, I find
HEXN3T stands out and was only taken on PSN, apparently.
I made this account shortly after watching Jackass 4. One of the new guys brings his dad on, this guy served time and did not look like he was one to fuck with. They put his head in a fishbowl with a tarantula and he instantly went into full bitch mode. That man's name was Dark Shark.
The Reddit API debacle that killed third party apps.
My cousin, brother and I used to get high and play MTG quite a bit back in the day. There's a card called "Reef Pirates" that we used to joke around and call them Reefer Pirates. When I was making an account on Diablo 2 some time around then it's what popped into my head and stuck.
Tenno, wake up. It's time to put on the silly norg fish mask from cetus and make it look good.
It's a new one I made up when I joined Lemmy. Not sure how I exactly ended up with this but it's the only one I made in over a decade. I like nicknames that sound like actual names but are still unique, and I wanted something that sounds nice and gender-neutral.
Anyway, my nicknames usually become part of my identity. So I'm as much Thelsim as I am nowadays :)
Calvin and Hobbes. I added a 'y' to the end because I could.
It means bare, naked, possession-less.
School nickname
In Portuguese "zero hora" is the midnight shift, people started making jokes when I slept in class and the name got stuck.
The way I drove and the papers I used for rolling joints back when I was a teenager
Its a me, mario
Ambian, maybe? I don't especially like disco, and my name isn't Doug. But I felt it in my heart at some point that isn't exactly clear to me.
I couldn't think of a better one, and just shortened my full name.
Depending on what your lemmy app/ui shows, it's either a Guild Navigator or a Facedancer.
CB radio user names are called handles. One of my nicknames is The Vandal. I think Subterranean Homesick Blues is one of Dylan's best. Violà.
I read an article, that the executioner who operated the electric chair was sometimes called the state electrician. I liked that, as I like many little known words and phrases. It has nothing to do with his job, the euphemism just tickled my fancy.
Redditors are stupid in very specific ways and it annoys me.
I mashed the keyboard.
I enjoyed The Talos Principle. And the messages in that world seemed about as real as you guys. I mean that in an endearing way
Mine comes from the intro to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Every time I go to make a new username I just choose the first 2 words that come to mind
"Behold, a token effort" sick line dropped by best boy linhardt in fire emblem warriors three hopes
My display name is probably from the most mysterious song on the internet
Minecraft username I coined at the age of 8. The name speaks for itself.
A bunch of goofy bureaucracy name fuckups to my real name. It’s a long and boring story. It’s in no way related to being a group for tacos addicts.
Surname plus 3 random numbers
Hank likes hominy.
From a famous Australian poem called... "Said Hanrahan"

Star Wars Galaxies I was on a red wine kick at the time and had found Ecco Domani to be a good low priced red. I meeded a character name for SWG so I looked up "to seize" in Italian to make "seize tomorrow".
It's actually "squeeze tomorrow" or "tighten tomorrow" and should have been "cogliere il domani" which is cooler. But c'est la vie, or questa è la vita.
I was eating something when I made the account. Make a wild guess what it might have been.
Display Name is because the Earth part of a Universe Simulator program run on a windows 11 machine and the Earth.exe process crashed, which is why we have assassination attempts, felon president, CEO getting shot, random coup attempt in South Korea. The Simulation program just spews random plotlines without the Earth.exe process to fine-tune it. Its basically telling AI to draw human hands, it keeps making no sense.
Just needed a name and combined a word with an animal
