@nycki@bark.lgbt @wallabra@bark.lgbt You may have been joking, but xkcd actually was originally his handle/pseudonym, and predates the comic! He chose it as four random letters that were unique and wasn't pronounceable as a word, used it as a handle, and registered the domain. When he eventually started using the domain to post comics, they took on his handle and it became primarily known as the name of the comic.
