Easy to sound intellect anyway; Combination of actual name.
Wanted something that had no connection to previously used usernames, and also puns are fun.
When kid, play Doom much. Be critical inside, think low of own skills. Also love metal - love 666, love 13. Multiply 666 and 13, get 8658. Combine all - get noobdoomguy8658. Now happy, feel witty.

Made D&D character during 80s. Took Latin word Veritas and made sound like name. Kept using.
Thelsim likes the sound of Thelsim’s own name, so Thelsim approves of this question :)
Thelsim is a unique enough name, if you see Thelsim somewhere else, there’s a good chance it is Thelsim.
Thelsim thought it up on the spot and kind of identifies with it now. It’s vague and genderless enough to apply to anyone and can still be remembered as a normal name. It’s become Thelsim’s online identity.
Caveman enough for not-Thelsim? :)
