I Want to Know the Story Behind Your Username

It's my favorite drink.

I'm in heaven on every sip.

DunningKruger · 61-69, M
My user name used to be my last name and first initial — doctorianr. People kept assuming it meant Doctor Ian or something. Not a big deal, but it was slightly annoying. I spent a long time looking for a new name, but couldn't find anything that fit. Then, I put up a joke graphic — "Dunning/Kruger 2020 — We know we can do it!", the joke being that the Dunning-Kruger effect is when people overestimate their own capabilities and don't recognize their own incompetence. I don't think anyone got the joke — either that or they didn't think it was funny. Either way, it occurred to me that DunningKruger would be a perfect user name for me.
