How did you pick your lichess username?

lol, love some of these answers :)

the first solution which flashes through my mind after seeing a problem is of brute-force (algorithm type) kind, which is really bad.
:(

that's why the name.

the numbers are random

How did I choose my Lichess username?

I used to have a bad mouse.

I took the book that was next to me and turned to a random page. Then I read a few pages until a cool name appeared. And that one I chose. The book is a fantasy-book called "Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. Then I added "ForReal" to make clear I really want to get good at chess, and don´´t play other games (Starcraft .. ) anymore.

It was a childhood nickname, as should be obvious

Some are really having a background story and here I am with my self thought fantasy name. No idea why exactly that, but it sounded cool. Also I'm really bad at finding nicknames, so it must've been something new.

i love 2 letter names. but most of the time they are taken

Because chess is the best game ever no doubt just love it ;-)

Leo Howard is my name ;) google me. and i had to make a new account because i accidently got chatbanned so this one had to have a 1 so it wouldn't be the same as my last one.
