What's In A Name?

[multiplez]

LJ names. We all have them. We probably think some of them are pretty clever. But to someone who doesn't know your fandom, your LJ handle may not make any sense whatsoever. So I thought I'd ask:

What does your character's LJ name mean, and how did you decide on it?

Since it's my bright idea, I'll start!

multiplez: Well, her name is Z, and she multiplies. I tend to say it like 'multiplex' with a z, which, yes, sounds funny.

swerval_zero: Her name is Zero! Zero doesn't always use actual words, preferring instead words she makes up herself. I tend to tone this down at FH because a lot of people don't get it. 'Swerval' is a Zero-speak adjective, meaning something like 'awesome' or 'cool.'

screwyoumarvel: In the recent Marvel Crossover Event Civil War (tm) (yes they really trademarked 'Civil War') Steve got killed. So, screw you, Marvel. It gives me vindictive glee to type his username every time I sign in. :D

bigdamndean: One of the Firefly catchphrases is "big damn heroes" from the episode "Safe" (iirc, and I could totally be wrong, because I don't have my DVDs right now...) when the crew showed up to save Simon and River from crazy people who are trying to kill them:

Mal: It looks like we arrived just in the nick of time. What does that make us?
Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.
Mal: Ain't we just.

The "dean" part is because Zoe was originally the Dean of Students, and I just never bothered renaming her journal when she became the principal.

chloe_sullivan: It's her name! La!

psychic_wonder: This name must be credited to bridge_carson, who was the one who made the journal in the first place. :) It's also from an episode quotation, from "Faith":

Dean: When I was healed, I just...I felt wrong. I felt cold. And for a second, I saw someone. This, uh, this old man. And I'm telling you, Sam, it was a spirit.
Sam: But if there was something there, Dean, I think I would've seen it too. I mean, I've been seeing an awful lot of things lately.
Dean: Well, excuse me, psychic wonder. But you're just gonna need a little faith on this one.

geniusdoctor: Doogie is both a doctor and a certified genius! Woo!

solowhistler: Abigail's kind of a loner, so she's usually solo. Yeah, I was totally lacking creativity when I made this one.

I can't take all the credit- when I was still pondering the idea of apping Sam, x5_alec suggested the username!
