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

snarkyprincess: In the very beginning of the series, Summer was kind of a bitch, and not in a fun way. She was basically a spoiled princess. As the first season continued, she was given more layers and wasn't just a shallow snob. She was even funny and, at times, snarky. So I combined these two aspects of her personality to create this user name.

cookinggeek: I wanted a name that had nothing to do with magic or witchy stuff because Piper didn't know she was a witch when the game started. It was always noted on the show that Piper was shy and awkward in high school, so I wanted a name to sort of reflect that instead, hence the geek part of the name. She also wants to be a chef, so that's where the first part of the name comes from. I'm pretty sure demonbelthazor suggested this one, but I could be remembering that wrong.
