This has probably been asked before but I wanted to add another layer/an alternative.

So, I ask, where did your username/pseudonym/nickname originate from? What’s the meaning behind it?

Or alternatively, which is the most creative/interesting nickname origin you have come across?

    I used to be just “Cyborg” in IRC, forums and online games back in the late 90’s because I found them cool. That was always my online nickname.

    But it was already taken on Reddit when I joined so so many years ago. Cyborg is short for Cybernetic Organism. So I just used organism in the name instead. It was unique enough that no one else used it.
