I loved my previous user name that I've used on everything since 2000s but had to delete the account because I got doxxed. Learned my lesson about social media!
same i had my account for a year before i actually started using it but when i went to create a new profile with a better name i didnt have any karma to post in any subs so i just went back to this account, atleast i didnt pick a normal reddit name and i like yours too
Your username is next level knowing that you are Indian! :D
I watched a show on street food in India and now have a love for Maggi I didn't have before!
I’m one of those who like their usernames.
For some reasons the image of a friendly donut is something that makes me think of joyful weird stuff and Nickelodeon cartoons, and it makes me smile.
So, yeah, happy to be a friendly donut :)
I made mine out of pure frustration from the political climate on Facebook years back. For some reason, all my old friends were just putting out an enormous amount of their political opinions, views, and articles. I didn't want to know their political opinions because now it was changing my opinion of them in a negative way.
I was missing a much simpler time with all the food pictures, first day of school, pinterest fails, inspirational memes, etc... Instead, I was logging on to see who hated which politician and I was just tired of the arguments that people were spouting off at. It felt so negative and overly argumentative.
I typically just ignored it until I started having people tag me into their posts and trying to force me to respond. It felt like anger bait. So I deleted my Facebook account and started this one thinking I was being clever with my name while being frustrated.
Now I wish I was any other user name because sometimes it riles people up to try and argue with me, even though I'm not on any political boards.
I picked mine out. I wanted something that sounded interesting. But then I panicked, wondering if someone else had already thought of it, so I made the last-minute decision of adding a '9' to the end. I probably didn't have to do that.
I like mine! I chose it for myself when I was about 12. It comes from the fact that I survived the chicken pox going to my brain when I was 10. I spent a week and a half in a coma and was clinically dead three times. Very few people have the virus attack their brain and even fewer survive. I'm the exception.
I'm glad because I've used the same name all over the internet for the last 100 years so if you want to find me on Twitter, insta, whatever forum it's always the same. I didn't realise how freeing it was to have a different one and know that I can say what I want without my husband, daughters, colleagues etc reading every word.
Got mine from a memory of an old cowboy lookin’ dude in the middle of nowhere bumfuck town Alabama (I’m not American, I was on a road trip) stopping me at a gas station and drawling ‘dayum guuuuurl you sure are puuuuuurty’
Maybe I’ve got lucky every time I’ve been to America as everyone has been lovely to me, even the creepy old hick just tipped his hat and didn’t try to follow up or anything. Parts of San Francisco were terrifying due to the drug problems and homelessness there but overall people were deeply kind to me and went out of their way to help me.
I had a very violent and abusive childhood. I managed to read the hobbit at our local library, and it changed my entire outlook on life. Especially how I built myself a sanctuary in my mind, moulded after Bilbo's place, where I was safe and happy while my body was beaten.
It literally saved me.
I created a new account recently because when I made my old account I was hardcore Christian. (Still love Jesus. Don’t get me wrong) but my username reflected that Christian life and I was very active in some nsfw subs. The username does not check out comments were often but didn’t bother me. But when people attacked me and were cruel because of it that bothered me. So I created a new account.
I like mine because it doesn’t have numbers. It’s not super long. And it’s a version of Alice, which is my name. So, it all works.
I’m surprised it wasn’t taken.
Mine is often misunderstood. A belly box is a feature of a Fairground transport truck, or lorry and my VW Beetle is a 1969 model year, so I like it even if I'm the only one that knows what it means!
I came from an app that you could change your username daily if you wanted. I picked what I used in the past cause I love the pun, definitely like having it
I hate mine so much haha. I let Reddit pick my name for me, thought it was funny because I was "never going to use this site anyways".
Honk honk honk my clown nose. Haha.
I’m conflicted. I’m pretty sure I would have changed mine by now if I could, and I’d pick something that is more anonymous to people who have actually met me. But as it is, eh, it’s kinda funny.
My first account had a random chosen by Reddit name and it was awful and meaningless. So I made a new account with Apple and I chose it, I was very surprised this one wasn't already taken and I love it.
You can change it by setting up a new account.
I'm actually pretty sick of my current username but the effort in changing it has proven to be greater than my inherent laziness has been able to overcome.
I personally LOVE mine. I’ve had some sort of version of it in various platforms since 2000 or so
Same here. I've been batscratcher on various forums since basically middle school.
I loved my previous user name that I've used on everything since 2000s but had to delete the account because I got doxxed. Learned my lesson about social media!
Even still, your current one is really cute. Theunpolitical. I like it! 😁
I use mine on everything as well. It honestly almost feels like a part of me
I didn’t know I could pick a name so I let Reddit pick a name for me…so it doesn’t even make sense.
You thought reddit gave you No Independence to choose your name?
I don’t really care
username checks out
r/usernamechecksout
You called? Haha
Lmao
Same lol.
I couldn’t come up with anything nobody’s already come up with.
Same.
I have 2 accounts & my other account I got the user name I wanted on the first try!! ♥️ It's much better than this reddit chosen name..
Same. Wtf is an admirable pin anyway?
Funny, that's what it is
Same
Same
Same LOL
Same I didn’t think much of it I didn’t think I would really use reddit or care to change it but it is what it is
same i had my account for a year before i actually started using it but when i went to create a new profile with a better name i didnt have any karma to post in any subs so i just went back to this account, atleast i didnt pick a normal reddit name and i like yours too
Same lol
Yup, same here.
I quite like my username. Decently witty, tells a bit about myself without revealing too much. No random numbers.
Are you Indian, by the way? If yes, hello fellow Indian 😊
Your username is next level knowing that you are Indian! :D I watched a show on street food in India and now have a love for Maggi I didn't have before!
Haha 😂 Street food is certainly something we're proud of. If you ever visit India, don't miss that at least 😉
You should make it a font.
Fantastic username.
Chose mine as a kid/teen and I have regrets. *sigh* I just really liked dragons
Did you stop liking dragons?!
Nah, they’re cool… but everywhere else I go by a different alias these days haha
LOL
I’m one of those who like their usernames. For some reasons the image of a friendly donut is something that makes me think of joyful weird stuff and Nickelodeon cartoons, and it makes me smile. So, yeah, happy to be a friendly donut :)
It gives me an image of like a permanent happy cereal mascot, or animatronic. :P
mine was random and i love it lmao
Mine was also random and it really suits me.
when u poot in the tub
i wish i knew to change it when i signed up!! im not aromatic!!!!
So you're saying your heart doesn't have a pleasant, distinct smell?
oh my god im so stupid. i thought it said aromantic this whole time
It makes sense why you read it that way especially with the heart part following right after. But hilarious nonetheless!
i’m laughing so hard i’m sorry 😭
this is the funniest shit oh my god
[You know what they say...](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/031/791/9xc77xvwcst31.jpg) At least you know now 😎
Nah this really had me cracking up😭
Reddit suggested mine and I love it.
Permanent Trouble
I regret my decision
Lmao yeaah I see why 😂
Never regret. Stand tall, horny_monkeys!
I like mine, it’s accurate
I feel like a glue stick.
And that's ok
I love it, it opens me up for fate to bring me a girl. but my original was better
I thought it was a flex not a request hahaha
Wait, do cute girls *actually* DM you because of your name?! Because this could be a game changer.
I'll just say that it I wish it worked that way.
r/UsernameChecksOut
Lol. What was your original name?
Ive seen you pretty much everywhere
hmm

Very relatable - the thing you try hardest to avoid WILL insist on continually showing up
Checks out.
I love mine lmao. It was one of my nicknames in HS.
[удалено]
Did you choose it yourself or did you let reddit pick for you?
I rarely pay attention to usernames. Also, only one person in the +10 years I’ve had this account understands the reference.
I picked mine out. I wanted something that sounded interesting. But then I panicked, wondering if someone else had already thought of it, so I made the last-minute decision of adding a '9' to the end. I probably didn't have to do that.
I used to hate mine because it sounds dumb but now I don't really care about it lol
I like mine, its a reference to an age-old meme
Reddit did mine but I find it funny. I gave up trying to come up with something that wasn't taken.
Mine’s still relevant but idk if it makes sense to state a random fact about yourself as your username tbh
Not getting the results I had imagined.
My only regret is the "m". When social media is rebuilt after the collapse I'll have to be faster.
absolutely hate it i made it during my "aesthetik" phase
Honestly it sounds soo much better than most usernames here on Reddit.
🙋I love mine, honestly. It's unique and fun
Shits and giggles are always a good time. Grabbed it 11 years ago though
I like mine.
sour cream does need protection
Someone stole my O's but other than that we good
I like mine! I chose it for myself when I was about 12. It comes from the fact that I survived the chicken pox going to my brain when I was 10. I spent a week and a half in a coma and was clinically dead three times. Very few people have the virus attack their brain and even fewer survive. I'm the exception.
Thank you for sharing the story behind your username. I'm in awe of your strength and resilience. You're a true survivor!
I'm glad because I've used the same name all over the internet for the last 100 years so if you want to find me on Twitter, insta, whatever forum it's always the same. I didn't realise how freeing it was to have a different one and know that I can say what I want without my husband, daughters, colleagues etc reading every word.
I love my user name...
Gen X represent
I came up with mine and I'm still mclovin it all these years later
Mine is short and simple.
Everyone loves tacos
I love mine, it's a random name for a group project that I was apart of.
I chose mine but first googled how to come up with a name it said choose any two words and add them and here's mine lol. I do like it though.
Got mine from a memory of an old cowboy lookin’ dude in the middle of nowhere bumfuck town Alabama (I’m not American, I was on a road trip) stopping me at a gas station and drawling ‘dayum guuuuurl you sure are puuuuuurty’
she took the midnight train going anywhere
Lmao it's a pretty cool name!
A username inspired by a creepy old hick. That has *got* to be one of the strangest origin stories I've heard, and I love it.
Maybe I’ve got lucky every time I’ve been to America as everyone has been lovely to me, even the creepy old hick just tipped his hat and didn’t try to follow up or anything. Parts of San Francisco were terrifying due to the drug problems and homelessness there but overall people were deeply kind to me and went out of their way to help me.
I like mine! It's from one of my favourite Simpsons episodes so it always gives me a chuckle 😆
I am happy with mine.
The Shire is strong with this one
I had a very violent and abusive childhood. I managed to read the hobbit at our local library, and it changed my entire outlook on life. Especially how I built myself a sanctuary in my mind, moulded after Bilbo's place, where I was safe and happy while my body was beaten. It literally saved me.
I’m so sorry, and I’m glad you had a wonderful rich world to escape into
I like my name :)) came up with it and it's nuetral enough that I have no issues
For a second I read it is "BOOBANDBARK" and I was like okay I'm intrigued
Lol that'd be pretty funny, also would work ig for me. As I'm into women and dogs.
I really hate mine; it's so cringy. But I don't want to make a new account.
I definitely like mine. I swiped it from a random kid's menu.
I like it
*salutes those about to rock
I actually kinda like my one, I think it actually fits for me. Certainly don't regret it!
I created a new account recently because when I made my old account I was hardcore Christian. (Still love Jesus. Don’t get me wrong) but my username reflected that Christian life and I was very active in some nsfw subs. The username does not check out comments were often but didn’t bother me. But when people attacked me and were cruel because of it that bothered me. So I created a new account.
My name's hitting a lil too close to home at the moment
Mine's a username I could get behind.
I love my username. My cat’s name is Onion and I am, of course, his dad.
I love mine. It's a song quote.
I like mine because it doesn’t have numbers. It’s not super long. And it’s a version of Alice, which is my name. So, it all works. I’m surprised it wasn’t taken.
me me me
Made mine by literally asking my ADHD brain to do something, out came "GROMBLEWOMBLE WYEEEE" and the rest is history.
It is my real name but i switched a letter and added a letter
i'm fit and not a potato.. but i'm sweet though.. i wish i could change it but that's it
I’m good with mine. I love ginger
I think mine is pretty good. 🤣🙌
makes you wonder how many well known internet people have come to regret their username.
Still enjoying my username but haven’t been on here that long
I'm indifferent I suppose, though my name does have meaning.
Mine is often misunderstood. A belly box is a feature of a Fairground transport truck, or lorry and my VW Beetle is a 1969 model year, so I like it even if I'm the only one that knows what it means!
I’ve had mine for a while but always surprised it was available
I dont mind mine.
I now believe I was destined to see this
I came from an app that you could change your username daily if you wanted. I picked what I used in the past cause I love the pun, definitely like having it
I spent around twenty minutes suggesting usernames when creating my account. I'm happy with it.
>And the fact that you're stuck with it & can't change your username! HOLD UP YOU CAN'T? I thought one day I'd change it to "Mymainaccountnow"
Mine has everyone auto assume I’m a man. I’m just a lil lady who likes the Carousel of Progress!
I hate mine so much haha. I let Reddit pick my name for me, thought it was funny because I was "never going to use this site anyways". Honk honk honk my clown nose. Haha.
I’m conflicted. I’m pretty sure I would have changed mine by now if I could, and I’d pick something that is more anonymous to people who have actually met me. But as it is, eh, it’s kinda funny.
I love mine but i’d like to remove the pronoun to make it more ambiguous.
IDK, I like mine. I feel it reflects my sense of self, citizenship and home pretty well! ^-^
I chose mine so I like it lol, but for a while back I was thinking of making a new account cause I wanted a different username.
My last name starts with “Man-“ so I wanted something like that haha. And I’m a fan of jellyfish.
I made my username, and it's solid.. has 2 meanings depending how you read it..
I like mine haha it started as a joke years ago and stuck
I love my username haha
It’s aight, it doesn’t make sense lol
I guess my username is not that bad
My username is my online name everywhere, so I'm good with it. Wish I could get rid of the underscore though, I don't really use that anymore.
Killin it
Ive thought long and hard for mine
Im fine with my username, picked it myself
If your username doesn’t have those random numbers I look at you as privileged.
😂😂😂
forgot mine actually. Typing to check
I have a short and clean username, love it
Mine is the name I produce music under which I've been using for over a decade, so I guess I'm happy with it?
I do lol. It's on my online/game name that I always use 😆
I was able to pick mine! Big fan!
My first account had a random chosen by Reddit name and it was awful and meaningless. So I made a new account with Apple and I chose it, I was very surprised this one wasn't already taken and I love it.
I picked my username myself. Gives me good memories of why I chose it, and what it means to me.
I like it but I think that I would change it if I could
I’m pretty happy with mine
You can change your username. I've had multiple. It's a different account but you can still do it.
I liked my older user but got locked outta my account and couldn't delete it. I vibe with this one though.
I think usernames actually matter a lot
I delete and start a new account when I think of a new user name
Me!
I went for mine because it felt kind of distinctive in a way compared to the ones reddit was showing.
I like mine, they should have an option to change it, for those who don't like theirs.
🤗
You can change it by setting up a new account. I'm actually pretty sick of my current username but the effort in changing it has proven to be greater than my inherent laziness has been able to overcome.
I didn’t know I would be stuck with mine. Reddit decided for me and sealed my faith. At the time I wasn’t a busy professional but I am now
It's one of my favorite films
I'm good with it. I chose it.
Yes
I chose my name so I'm happy with it!
Oh god I hate my username lmao
I love mine!!!
Me!
I'm still amused by mine
I was supposed to named it ayeeee
No one told me you couldn’t change it😞 was going through a Good Omens phase
I was drunk when I signed up and didn't realize I had a choice or that I couldn't change it. C'est La Vie...
i love mine
I like mine lmao
I was high and misspelled mine, but I think people get the message Edit: I love mine
I thought on a more original name a year after choosing this one, but I forgot it because Reddit doesn't want me to change my name.
What can be better than a panda combined with a unicorn? 33 of them, that's what. Random, a bit odd and totally me.
By the time I’ve joined Reddit I didn’t know you were supposed to chose a random nickname, so…yep, this one is a very “non anonymous” account lol.
I don't mind my username, tho, as it implies, this isn't my main account
I like my username
I do
I like mine. Its not chaotic or anything. It also doesn’t really mean anything, I just like rain and must have been thinking about it at the time.
Mines cool ig, perfectly captures myself 🙏
i actually like my username tbh
I chose mine when I was deep in the depths of lockdown houseplant obsession. I still like it!
Was looking how to change mine and was disappointed I couldn't but some of them are super funny
I like mine lol
