Now that we are all switching to Lemmy, now is the time for all the redditors with embarrassing usernames to make their username right! Don't screw up this time! (lemm.ee)

I'm using my IRL given name here. I like my Reddit username (and was kinda surprised it was not already taken), but it was kind of a mask.

Is this a kamen rider pun

Nope, it's my name. It has the same meaning as Peter (or its equivalents in whatever language you pick), but its etymology is Bulgarian. If it has another meaning in English, it's purely coincidental.

Kamen means stone in our language, and I was a little bit confused

Yep, that's what Peter means as well.

I actually didn't know that
