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

carter_i_am: Sam Carter came with the username when I adopted her, but I assume it's because "Sam_I_am" from Green Eggs and Ham was already taken.

jarodpretends: Jarod has no canon last name, so I went with what he does (pretending) instead.

lilpunkinbelly: In the fifth season episode, "No Place Like Home", we find out that Joyce Summers used to call Dawn her little punkin belly. Buffy never had a nickname, so I thought it was a nice link between Dawn and Joyce. Especially considering what happens to her belly later in the season, it's a great moment of Joss foreshadowing something that actually happens.
