Steve. Because of Hiphopotamus vs. Rhymenocerous by Flight of the Conchords.

Turd Ferguson is forever etched in my brain.

[โ€“] Melkath@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Ya. That's right. Turd Ferguson. It's a funny name.

I told you it wasn't important.

[โ€“] Saigonauticon@voltage.vn 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's what makes it optimal for testing code where the username isn't important.

Good old Slartibartfast has caught many a bug.

Frank. No clue why, but at least 60% of the time, it's Frank.

[โ€“] apotheotic 2 points 1 year ago

That seems quite common, to be frank

I remember they used to sell Bort name tags at the Universal Studios Kwik e Mart. I regret not buying one.

[โ€“] Pulptastic@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

We are all out of Bort license plates

X-wing @ Aliciousness

[โ€“] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Just now? Romney. But I can't say I'd always pick that name, as first of all I haven't been asked that before, so I wouldn't know, and second of all, if I did, it would be predictable and therefore not random.

I have a terrible imagination. If asked to come up with a name, I'll simply flounder and say, "Eh?"

Case in point: my user name which I have used on multiple instances. (I've no idea how I came up with it).

I was actually thinking about clever sounding "non human" names. Human names are easy. Names of women: Lily Lilith Rose Penny etc etc

[โ€“] Mrderisant@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Owen Lincoln Potter. An alias I used in college when I was fucking around like an idiot

Just came up with a random name and it was Thomas.

In German, it's commonly an old people sounding name (Frederike, Ulrich, Brigitte, Gerhard, etc)
