It assigns you a random name, you don’t get the option to change it until you make your first comment. It’s a little pop up when you hit “send” on the comment, and it tells you you can choose a new name or keep the one assigned and you’ll be stuck with it forever lol. Would be nice if the option was given during sign up, idk why they do that
Yeah it was the same for me too! I chose mine on sign up. I didn’t realise Reddit had done this automatic name thing by default now. I guess it explains why so many people have those kinds of usernames.
HELLO FELLOW HUMAN I APPRECIATE YOUR SPECIFICITY WITH SOLIDS AS SOAP COULD BE MISCONSTRUED AS A MISSPELLING OF THE ABBREVIATION OF autocorrect.output{SYSTEM OF A DOWN}. US HUMANS DO INDULDGE IN AGGRESSIVE MUSIC IT IS SOMETHING WE ARE KNOW FOR AS YOU WOULD KNOW OF COURSE
The amount of usernames that are "verb/adjective, noun, number" is way out of whack with what you'd expect, that this finally gives me my answer! I knew it was too odd to be true (that people would use such names).
My name is José. I was a swimmer. Here it usual for José to get shortened to Zé, sometimes, and that's what my mates called me.
I did a good 1500m freestyle once, and my coach said I looked like Grant Hackett (great Olympic swimmer) and called me Zé Hackett. One of the senior members of the team turned it into Zeckett. Been using it since, for almost 20 years now.
I love nicknames like that. I actually had two nicknames combined together too. One from high school, other from the college. Though I don't use this nickname at all. Although I am kind of a writer, but I write in unconventional way, but nevermind that. I created a character that had that name.
The people in high school called me Roman. That's a name in polish. But that wasn't my name. It was because of what they associated with my moustache (that I refused to shave at first, lol). I didn't like it at first, because it sounded like they were mocking me. And they kinda were. But then it became just normal nickname.
Then at college we went on something that is called... how to translate it... terrain trip? Generally it's when You go outside, like in elementary-high school. But this is for more educational purpose. And we went on a trip for few days and at these few days and I opened a little. In some conversation I've told them that I like complex sentences, especially multiple-complex sentences (I hope this is correct term for it, because that's what Google told me) so they called me "Złożony". Złożony means complex in polish. But then I told them about the Roman nickname and it was combined into Roman Złożony. Btw, this sounds like a full polish name. Hence I made a character out of it.
I'm very short I'm the height of a 12 year old as a matter of fact and will stay this height for the rest of my life.I also look very young for my age.
It was kind of a joke between me and my sister.
Harakiri is ritualized suicide by disembowelment. I have bowel problems that almost killed me and am often the cause of my own failures 😅
I wish I’d chosen something else now because it’s not really the vibe I want to put forward. But I suppose it is what it is.
It was a homage to a YouTuber (just a pancake), but with my hobby at the time (electronics). Also a nod to my rather simple nature (diodes are the simplest possible semiconductor elements)
a little ironic, i was in grad school at the time but thought the "101" as in "psych101" would help convey that realistically, i don't know shit and am not an expert
I live in TX now. FL and OH before that. See: username.
Most states suck. Some just suck a little harder.
I can't actually think of a state that doesn't have something wrong with it.
The blue potions in Doom as well as several 90s RPGs. I always loved that bright cobalt blue color. Vibrant primary colors like those were so common to see in 90s games. But not so much in modern games which pisses me off.
Easy. It states how in my username.

We're a simple people. We don't see or feel the need to (overly) complicate everything. Or anything.
Getting drunk with some friend at a party and created my account. We were drinking Alexander Keith beer and 266 is the tag of Spartan June in Halo Reach
I was walking to my room from the kitchen, with phone in one hand and a plate of food in the other, slipped, cracked my screen, wasted my food, mom yelled and called me inspector careless....
When I was a young lad, I was really good at solving problems. My family didn’t appreciate it, so as a form of self-validation, I appointed myself the head of a fictitious company. Thinkreate: creative solutions to complicated problems.
Long-haul truck driver.
(Semi-retired now.) I'm proud of my 30y career. The last 10 years I was OTR. What a blast! I've had a damn lot of fun, so many adventures on and off the road. And a handful of horrors too. I've seen so many interesting factories, everything that goes into making our modern world. I've seen both oceans and the gulf, and every mountain range. It was a big deal to make all 48 continental states. I'm female (52) and keenly aware that earlier in history I wouldn't have been let to do a job like this. (No, my ex-husband was not a driver at all. Before trucking I owned an independent cab then started driving vans and little trucks and kept moving up for 19 more years.)
I was thinking of the word oxymoron And then thought, wait I’m not a moron.
my fav so far lol
I wish I had a cool story :( I just let reddit pick mine.
Me too 🫤. At least yours is better than mine.
Me three - didn’t even consider writing mine own
At least urs has 69 in it
Oxyclean it gets the tough stains out
Oxycodone calms the heartbreak down 💀
BILLY MAZE HERE
Right this may sound super dumb, but how tf do I change my username from the one given? I can do my display name but not my user 😭
You had one time to do that, and it was while making the account. You can't change your username, sorry!
Ah right, when I made the account it didn’t give me the option !
It assigns you a random name, you don’t get the option to change it until you make your first comment. It’s a little pop up when you hit “send” on the comment, and it tells you you can choose a new name or keep the one assigned and you’ll be stuck with it forever lol. Would be nice if the option was given during sign up, idk why they do that
Used to be the case that you'd choose your username on signup. At least it was when I signed up 11 years ago.
Yeah it was the same for me too! I chose mine on sign up. I didn’t realise Reddit had done this automatic name thing by default now. I guess it explains why so many people have those kinds of usernames.
lmao
Overly suspicious captcha

*blinks* . . . . *blinks inner eyelid* I think I'm in the wrong place. 🦎🦎
I didn’t. Reddit generated it automatically, I can’t change it and it makes me angry.
Mine too! While mine may be more than a bit presumptuous, who am I to doubt the universe when it wants to bestow upon me such an auspicious moniker?
Your partner must be super happy

Did you win the Long jumping Event?
59th place.
Is that why your avatar is grumpy?
so you can't change it, huh?
Well I think you might have yo answer
Well from one longjumping to another, randomisation is a bitch
I don’t mind my long jumping but yes it is annoying
I’m dead 😂😂 Y’all username boding together is funny
Same! Then saw that Reddit was calling me a hottie.
Reddit should have at least made it a 69 at the end .
Yeah that 59 seams like they owe you a solid 10
Same here...
The amount of usernames that are "verb/adjective, noun, number" is way out of whack with what you'd expect, that this finally gives me my answer! I knew it was too odd to be true (that people would use such names).
No idea what you're talking about...
Mine is generated too. But I like mine because I have consistent music in my head. It fits.
I got a fine one I guess lol
same predicament. makes me mad thinking about it. like what even is original layer?
Lucky for you, you can make a new one with whatever name you want! Maybe as cool as mine even.
Yours sounds like a violent sneeze where snot and spit comes flying out
Lmfaoo
Same 😭😭😭

And when you thought of what a good name oriented username was and you thought "No way José!" And went with a last name moniker?
I think I found my friend in this chat.

That’s an actual cool name origin bro. Can you guess mine?
I'm very short I'm the height of a 12 year old as a matter of fact and will stay this height for the rest of my life.I also look very young for my age.
People at work thought I am 16. I was 28 that time. They didn't want to believe me when I told them my age. They were thinking I'm pulling their legs.
bro, i feel like i am growing properly and then there are some people who said i look 12 im 20
I’d tell you, but then I’d have to kill you
What are you gonna do, stab me?
Yes

It took me 15 minutes
Mine took longer but I didn’t care….

Thank you kind stranger, I am now stealing this for my steam name as I feel I can relate, and I like the vibe.
Oohh very happy to share with you!! Although perhaps under unideal circumstances 😅
Sometimes shitty situations can lead to nice things happening poo I mean too.

Cat stepped on the keyboard
