My beautiful cat, Kira, thought I was her mother, so I started calling myself Kira's Mom.
She passed away last October.She was a precious kitty:
WOW. She was beautiful. {{hug}}

My oldest cat's name is Alpine, and I make maps for a living.
This is so boring. But what the hey.
"Kate" comes from my initials - which were (when I was growing up) K-D==> Kaydee==> Katie. Get it? Yeah. See, I told you it was boring.
"JustKate" is a little less prosaic. Originally, back when I was first getting involved in the Internet and chatrooms and such, I was Kissmekate (from the musical)...but as those of you who were around in those days probably remember, the Internet used to be FLOODED with horny 13-year-old guys who took any vaguely feminine screen name as a come-on. So you can imagine how many of them were driven almost to a frenzy by the word "Kiss."
I don't know now many hormone-tormented boys urged me, over and over again, "Let's go private, Kate!!!!" (except that virtually all of them left off the apostrophe and misspelled "private") and would not take no for an answer, but the answer is "LOTS."
And thus was "JustKate" born. I still got hit on, of course, but at least I didn't personally hand them a ready-made come-on. (Yes, I realize I could have simply used a gender-neutral name. But I don't know...some people might like that absolute neutrality, but I don't. I like to be myself online, and being a female is part of that, of course.)
Around here, people assume - understandably - that "Kate" is a Katherine Janeway reference. It's not though - nothing against the good captain, but I don't really identify with her enough to name myself after her. Besides, I was Kate long before Voyager came around.

I killed Abraham Lincoln.
Obviously, I'm a big fan of DS9. And, being of Latino heritage, I punned on the name of O. Henry's Latino western hero, the Cisco Kid. The 888 is a number connected to my job.
Actually, it wasn't boring at all! I LOL'd at "horny 13 yr old boys"!!! Thanks Kate!!
Spewed my coffee on this one!!!!! And here, i was thinking it was from the song. I am so very old!!!! (Sisko kid, was a friend of mine!)
My glorious user name came about as the result of a lucky typo, I originally intended for it to be Thot Damar but fortunately I entered it as Thor Damar, which works a lot better IMHO.
The 'surname' is of course a tribute to one of my favorite Cardassians and the 'forename' refers to one of my favorite fictional characters, Thor, Norse god of thunder. (Although in actuality it has more to do with the Douglas Adams' Thor that we saw in LTU&E than the mythological gentleman with a hammer and foul temper)

I used to be cmdrxeris, which was the rank and name of my Romulan chief engineer for my fanfic but when I made captain on the BBS I had it changed to Xeris but I got bored with it, and changed it to BrotherBenny, which is what the "Crazy Preacher/Joseph Sisko" calls Benny Russell in the DS9 episode Far Beyond The Stars
137th Gebirg - short for 137th Austrian Gebirgsjäger Regiment, 2nd Mountain Division - my old WWII reenacting unit from many moons ago...
I believe he was TGMC in between, after MSP and before TGT. Only for a year or so, as I recall.
I had no idea that name came from anywhere else. When you took it on, I thought you were in collaboration with him, or else mocking him.
As for me:
Silvercrest is the name of a family of D&D adventurers I've been playing since the early 1980s, so named because they have a white streak in their hair.
Lithe, Lord Silvercrest (aka Lt. Lithe Silvercrest)
Laurie Silvercrest
Tron Silvercrest
Kari Silvercrest
Lithe II, Prince Silvercrest
Angela Silvercrest
Jericho Silvercrest
Mark Silvercrest
Kalen Silvercrest
I took the name partly so that I'd be identifiable to the other players if they ever came on this board. To date, none of them ever have.
My signatures are based on a joke that one of the Silvercrests is wandering around Moria and can't find his way out. He sees a lot of the events of LOTR from a different perspective.
"Habs" is the nickname for the Montreal Canadiens NHL hockey team. Derived from "habitants" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitants
Their logo has a C with an H in the middle. This H does not stand for "habitants", but stands for "hockey" (Le Club de Hockey Canadien)

Chaos Descending is the name of the band my friends and I were in back in high school.
We wrote song lyrics, but none of us knew how to play instruments.
