Does your particular name that you use as a username on websites or for your e-mail address have any particular significance? I have noticed quite a few very clever usernames over the years. One energy related board has a user "Schroedingersfish"...you physics fans will understand the pun. A writing board I belong to has a user "Anona Mouse". My own, Vladilyich, was given to me over 15 years ago by a group of Russian programmers I worked with because I look like Vladimir Illyich Lenin. Is there a story behind yours?

Initially I mistakenly thought that you are from India. Your username sounds very indian to me. People can be very creative when choosing their unsernames. Mine is a simple one which means 'lady' in our dialect. You can always call any lady zandi if you happen not to know her name.

My name really has no meaning. I just used it years ago for an old email account then everything on the internet needed a user name so I ended up using this name.

mine is ryme, my nickname, the other one is d_nocturnal, because i used to work during the late nights till the early morning that is why i came up with that username. i do think that usernames is also a way to express ones creativity and individuality.

I think you already know the story behind mine, husband. :) I'm half Danish, and half Canadian. Danish on my mother's side, Canadian on my Dad's side, and a Canadian citizen. Also, it's pretty neat how my icon and my screenname both match. I use this on a lot of sites similar to this one. Love Your Favourite Wife :)
