Less common anglicisation of Samyaza, first amongst the nephilim; a group of Angels that fell by marrying human women and teaching them knowledge.
Yes I am clearly a bit pretentious.

My display name is a short-version of my nickname which is a phonetic amalgamation of my first and last name.
Someone else took karl first and I want to know which one of you it was
Remember that mobile game that was popular a while ago, Neko Atsume? It's that, but with Etna from Disgaea, because at the time I first made this username (years ago) Neko Atsume was taken and I was playing through Disgaea D2.
Sometimes I get kinda pedantic.
When i joined the fediverse I decided to make a break from my old usernames.
I'm fatigued in more ways than one and people joke that I'm fae because I'm allergic to metal.
Shakespeare and Serious Sam.
Ranidaphobic; but going with Frog-Man was a too on the nose rip off of Bat-Man (and it’s taken anyway).
Used to live in Norway when I joined reddit, and the whole Norse lore resonated with me. Back then I had a number attached, that wasn't needed on Lemmy anymore.
I have no imagination and my legal name is Tanis Nikana.
It scans like a username when it’s all lower case and jammed together though.
Bit warden made it for me
Mothman+StarWars+Back to the Future
I saw a watch company use the name Omega, before I even knew it was the name of a greek letter.

I was making a silly joke on Reddit...
Title of a book by my favourite author Jonathan Carroll. Almost all of my various handles over my time online have been some variation of one of his book titles because they're so unique. I used one on Reddit and some Nazi started stalking me, and it turns out some lady on Twitter uses it as her handle there, so he kept messaging me and calling me Stephanie.
What about you pip? My first thought was the main character of Kid Icarus.

I’m chaotic and I like cookies, nothing more to it!
Way more years ago than I would like to admit, when I was in my teens, I learned to play a Fender Mexican Stratocaster. It became my name on my BBS, and has stuck ever since.
Most people think it has to do with FM radio.
Edit: Also, this question has managed to get replies from almost all of the prolific participators on Lemmy. Nice.

Bitwarden username generator 👍
Kona + Loki + accidentally changing an O to an A = Kolanaki
And then it turns out, it's also the name of a place in Greece.

My husband’s nickname for me. I was born in the holler in Appalachia and am a woodsy pixie. It stuck and is now my trail name.
I asked Dr GPT for a list of nouns and adjectives with a particular theme and picked some I liked and combined them. I do the same process for all my digital identities.
I was promoted from the rank of Commander.
I used to play GH3 on PS2 a lot and i played boss battles quite frequently
One time, in another game called Soldat, when a clan was recruiting they told me to change my old nickname since it was bizarre (i was 15 yo). I was looking for inspiration and quickly came up with Lou (final boss in GH3), added ` so i would be recognised easily while also not impersonating anyone unintentionally.
Few months passed by and i saw someone on some Soldat-related IRC channel chilling with my nickname and that person wasn't actually impersonating me (he/she used that nickname for much longer time than me since "Lou" is actually a first name which for me, as a native polish speaker, wasn't that obvious at the time) so that huge coincidence made me come up with an addition to my nickname - 2nd boss in GH3, famous guitarist - Slash. In the end i started using LouSlash`
As time passed by, in some places/websites/games i couldn't use ` so i drop it occasionally.
Just a greeting used in an RPG I really liked. As pretty much the only formal greeting in its setting, it seemed very overused, so a friend and I started using it in our friend group as a meme, and I decided that it actually goes pretty hard as a username.
M is the letter my real name starts with, and 137 has been my favourite number since I was a kid, and I still think is the coolest number (has nothing to do with 1337, as some people have previously thought).
Patrik/Pat is just my name, sometimes use Legendbird on sites because once it was the first thing I thought about (Zapdos, to be exact).
Tally Hall (band) → callyral (pseudonym + username) → cally (nickname)
it just means emoticon in french canadian
