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

bridge_carson: It's his name! Plus "itsbuttery" was already taken.

grenfelzer: In the book A Wizard's Holiday, Carmela's in an alien chat room when someone asks her "Do you grenfelz?" The explanation makes her laugh hysterically, though we-the-reader never find out what it is, exactly. The only clue we're given is in the next book, where the topic comes up again and her brother asks about it. Her answer? "It's kind of like emmfozing, but with chocolate."
