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

tatooine_doofus Luke's home planet is Tatooine, he's...not the smoothest thing ever. La!

prof_lyman Because "finest muffins" gives you all the wrong impression and "victoryismine" was already taken. Back when we had a CJ she was "prof_cregg" so I went with this to be consistent.

likeguidelines It's a line from the first Pirate movie. Elizabeth Swann squawks about the pirates breaking the Pirate Code and Barbossa points out that it be "more like guidelines than actual rules." It pretty much sums up his entire existence.

And Anakin's gone through a few...he started as emo_padawan because he was an apprentice and sulked like it was his profession. Then he turned evil and became "darthbanthabell" to make sure everyone knew it was FH!Anakin returning. Then after he was redeemed, well, sith_happened. And that name was all Rory-mun's idea. :D
