My first name was Some Guy. I decided to rename myself and played off of that, with What's his face. I suppose later I'll change it again and become Whoosits or something silly.

Many, many, years ago when I first came to the internet I needed a hotmail account and everything I tried calling myself came up either already in use or with random numbers attached to it... I tried hitting the keyboard with my forehead and got to be "FWOXL" - a few weeks later my sister persuaded me to get a name that was a bit easier for her to remember.
After several tries with combinations of words that describe me (beerdrinker, hotstuff, theone and so on
) I came up with the nick I am now wearing all over the net -I am the only trekkiedane in the book!

Rowan is a name I've always liked since I first heard it God knows when. Sjet is the last name of the female "protagonist" from the PC video game Homeworld. It was one of the first games I ever played and continues to be a favourite of mine.
With very few exceptions, Rowan Sjet is the name I will use to identify myself on the internet.

Ptrope (one syllable, pronounced "trope") was originally created as the name of my art studio (or "pstudio" ). I wanted something that had a certain visual presence, that felt a certain way to say aloud, and I like psilent consonants, as in "psychiatry" and "pterodactyl." Plus, a trope is a play on words, and "ptrope" is something of a visual play on words. And because it's a wholly-created word, I don't usually have to worry about it being unavailable as a username 
.
So there you have it: Ptrope (not "pee-trope!"
)

I usually go by the name of Hugh_Jackman's_Boxers in other forums but I wanted to keep it Star Trek related here so I picked the hottest Trekker ever and chose to be his tights instead of boxers because those damn tights make me lol whenever I see them all rolled up above the boots.
I was looking through the Oxford Dictionary of First Names to kill time between classes when I was in college, and scribbled down a few names that I thought were really neat, many of them Gaelic.
Ruaidhri means "red king". Red is my favorite color.
When I was first registering with AOL back in '96, the first name I wanted to use was too long, a name from history, so I went back to the list of names I'd taken down and picked the one I liked the best. Any time I register somewhere on the internet I either use Ruaidhri or Ruaidhri75.

Well, my original user name Fire was based on scenes of Picard saying Fire every time he went into battle.
My next user name Tachyon Shield was simply because it sounded Treklike.
My current user name I Am Legend is self explanatory. I am legendary.
My next user name which I have already chosen but cannot change for at least another 6 months shall remain a secret.

I was originally CalifornianStrawberries, I can't remember why though. I just needed a username to sign up with and that was the first one I thought of! When username changes were first available here I shortened it to Cali as CalifornianStrawberries is too long to keep typing out. 
Plus a lot of people just called me Cali anyway.
Depsite the name, I do not live in nor have I ever been to California.

Lucky Charms is my favorite breakfast cereal.
My screen name has always been self-explanatory and simple.
I'm Eddie. I'm cool. I was born in '74.
Well. At least two of those are true.
My birthdate is a topic of debate since the original hospital went up in flames.

I'm still having menu/icon issues accessing my folders. My buddy who'll troubleshoot it for free won't get back from a family reunion trip for a few more days. Sorry.
