What does your EN World screen name come from?

The official God of the Kingdom of Turgos in my Homebrew World for which an intriguing and at times very funny story hour exists. I highly recommend it!
 

Mine is a They Might Be Giants song. I needed something that the players from my former group wouldn't recognize as being me so that I could post questions here and that is the first thing I thought of.

It is a hang over from my slashdot account mindset. I dislike the ACs (or Anonymous Cowards) on Slashdot, so my screen name is my name.

I just feel if you are going to say something have the courage to stand behind it.

Eh, I'm not so bothered by the idea of (most) other posters knowing who I really am -- that's why I've kept the same couple of aliases for fifteen or so years. It's the spammers and similar sorts that keep me anonymous.
 

My original bard main in old EQ (where bards are quite a different creature altogether from their D&D incarnation). He was a half-elf, & when I was creating him I wanted a 'nature-y' name since he was starting in Kelethin (the tree-city of the woold elves). Looked around my room, spotted the vase of snapdragons I happened to have on the tv at the time & presto-name-o.

As a counterpoint to one of the options, this PC name almost produced a RL nickname, as I was called 'Snap' for short in game & one of my closest RL friends also gamed with me; he crossed that nickname from the toon to the player a few times, hehe.
 

it's after a PC that i've played, but not in a D&D game. it was the name of my character in a computer game called jagged aliance 2. since then i use that name as my official web name, any site i register to, i use this name.
 

Orsal was my first ever character. Created in Basic, although mostly played in 1/e AD&D, he was a human fighter (or, as first called, a fighting man). He was rather obnoxious -- both egoistic and egotistic, and he wouldn't even know the difference, given his Int 6. (This was back in the day when straight 3d6 was considered normal.) But he was the only one of my 1/e characters who developed any sort of personality to speak of -- as my first, I tended to regard him as my principal character, using others only when he wasn't available. So, when I joined ENworld after years outside the hobby, I decided he was emblematic of my D&D experience.

My wife thinks I'm a geek..but she digs the goatee and lazer beams shooting out of the finger.

Stormborn was the last name of my first PC, a half-elven sorcerer. His full name was Grayalyn (called Grayl) Stormborn, which essentailly could be my fantasy name. My father's middle name is Lynn, mine is Gray (after my mother's maiden) thus I am the Gray of Lynn or Grayalyn. Also I was born in mid-June, in the late afternoon, in central Alabama which means, for those who don't know, there were thunderstorms/tornados. Thus I am also Stromborn.
