How did you pick your lichess username?

@lovlas I did not pick the title, the title chose me.

I'm not sure where my name came from ;/

Great thread!
Mine is female relative of:
youtu.be/2dHQDezlXPc

Its nice to learn what inspired people to choose their names. We also get to learn about some other interests people have besides chess.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect is a surprising and counterintuitive but very researched habit of people to have more confidence in their decisions when they have less knowledge about a subject and less confidence when they have more knowledge. I try to remember this to keep me questioning myself. But I mostly play blitz and bullet, so I don't have much time for questioning. I suppose that means I play with more confidence and less knowledge. That would certainly explain my low rating!

That must be why I am so indecisive! I know so damn much...!

And that doesnt seem at all counterintuitive to me. Most things arent clear cut, so if you are really confident that a certain decision is the only way to go Id bet you just dont know enough about the situation.

I'm a generic dinosuar, my name is Dinosuarus, like Tyrannasuarus, but generic. I became un-extinct only 2 months ago when I started chess, I use my army of mini-dinosuars to destroy the armies of my opponents, my reason for becoming a pretend-novice conqueror, I GET ALL THEIR SNAKCS

(I spelled wrong on purpose :D )

LOL

It's my last name spelled pheonetically.
Also... I wear socks out until the bitter end.
Just like my chess games.
