jester47
First Post
Mine has an interesting story. It was the name I used when I signed on to a BBS. When I did this I picked the name jester because it was cool at the time. But I knew that there were probably others with that name so I looked at a shoebox in my room and it contained some size 47 (european) shoes (it was also the time of DOS so 8 characters was good). So I was jester47. But the name had not really stuck. It wa not until I was at Virtual World in Dallas, when I wanted to have the handle of jester. The guy sighed and said "Well there are 46 other jesters, you will all either have to changte you name or name deul." That sounded like a pain in the butt, so I conveniently AGAIN went by jester47. About that time I started hanging around hackers, and it is tradition in those circles to have some sort of screen name. Out of convenience I chose jester47, and after that it stuck. So it has become my online/screen/computing name.

First Post
My name was originally drawn from the literary character of Phaedrus in Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motor Cycle Maintenance. He is the mad philosopher alter-ego of the narrator. I was so fond of this name that i tried unsuccessfully to get my wife to let me name first our son, then our daughter it. She didn't cave for either.
I began to use phaedrus as my internet name but found, much to my annoyance, that i often had to add a number or symbol to it as some yahoo had beat me to the name. After stewing this over for a bit i decided to morph the name into a phonetic version of phaedrus. I came up with feydras which i like as it includes the word fey in it and feels somewhat magical.

My username is an obscure pun to describe what I do for a job. It was a lot more eloquent and grandmother-friendly than most of the other nicknames I earned at work.
And no... It pun's got nothing to do with lead.

My mundane name is Gillian. You'd think that's unusual enough (especially pronounced with a hard G). But my daddy called me Gil"Lady"an when I was eleven. It was a name of affection that has stuck with me ever since (almost 30 years).
I had a (dwarf?!) named Gilladian who was one of my first characters. He was anything BUT a lady, however. When I first went online, it was the name that sprang to mind, and I've been Gilladian everywhere ever since.
So my name is both a character name and a sentimental name. And unique.

jaerdaph comes from Jaerdaph Baeloss, my persona when I was a member of the Kargatane, the old official Ravenloft site. Jaerdaph Baeloss was a bald albino drow with a severe case of arachnophobia. Jaerdaph Baeloss is an anagram formed from the letters of my real name, with an extra letter "A" added - the second letter of my middle name. John Mangrum wrote some extremely funny stories about Jaerdaph and the rest of the Kargatane in the Book of S___ netbooks we used to compile.

Black Silver was a type of metal I made up for an early Under Dark campaign.
My Players loved the campaign so much they continue to ask about restarting it and refer to the campaign as- "black silver," thought he campaign name was not Black Silver.
I have lurked for some time on EN World. A few months back I felt the need to join, one of my Players and I were talking and he once again asked aobut the campaign.
Very nice thread, I was considering starting the very same thread a few months back.
Have a good '05, best of luck to everyone.
