Okay, I deeply apologize if there has already been a thread like this, but I always find them interesting. It starts with a very simple question. What does your screen name mean?

Most people just assume mine is a misquote of one of Wash's most famous lines, but in truth it is actually a nod to that and the beginning of
Forest Gump one of my other favorite movies and one I quote almost as often as Firefly and Serenity. Anywho, on to the next person.

My name actually has a long and interesting story. I suck at coming up with things like that so I used my last name. Wait, that does suck, but it isn't that long. I'll make it longer, here we go, um, it's also my dad's last name, and his father before him. We have a long history with this name. Very handy. That's all I've got. And they lived happily ever after, somewhat moved by the important lessons they had learned along the way, but better for it.

the one I use here is exactly what it looks like. But on most other sites people are very confused by handle : ryahi_k or ryahik(if for some reason I can't use an underscore in my name)
It literaly stands for "Are Ya High K?" R YA HI K

ARCADIA

I started writing fiction at 13 I started looking at named websites to find character names. I decided to start posting on one called UUNC (unique, unusual, and creative names) and I wanted a name that was, well, unique, unusual, and creative. I found a long list of alternative names to Caitlin. I figued that since Caitlin is basicly the new Katie (Katie is my name) that these names were basicly alternative to my name, too. I chose Arcadia because I liked it best on the list. I use it here, on UUNC, and behindthename.com.

I used FireflyFi on nanowrimo.org, because I signed up last september and Serenity was so close to being release... Fi are the first two letters of my last name, pron. FEE. Some of my friends call me by this name. :-)

COPILOT

It just sort of came to me. At the end of the BDM with River in the Copilot's seat she was River but sainer and kind of reminded me of myself so yeah that's where the name came from.

An I carried such a torch

SIGMANUNKI

Well a bit of a story.

While driving with a buddy, he started telling me how much his brother hates Leonardo DiCaprio. He told me that his brother said that there should be another character in all Leo's movie call Clubby The Bat Wielding Clown. Then when Leo said something stupid Clubby would come on screen and beat Leo's pretty boy face in with his bat.

I said, that that'd be a great handle. He then took it before I could claim it. So, my search continued.

Now my handle comes from when I was doing some hobby research into the ancient Babylonian religion.

From memory, or perhaps I crossed a number of concepts, Sigma Nunki is the capital city of the gods. Also sigma is a mathematical symbol and Nunki is Akkadian for "The prince of the earth."

Nunki is also an acient Babylonian proper name.

Actually, just looked it up:

Nunki is all the above. Sigma probably got put in there because I'm a mathy person

Well, as you all know, "sad little king" is how River described Badger when she read him. I just adored her accent during that scene and the name's a nice reminder of that. I love you, Summer. Call me sometime.

ORPHEUS

Friday, March 31, 2006 8:22 PM

A lot of people think my name is a direct reference to The Matrix, but all of these people must not have paid any attention to those movies, since my name is not Morpheus.

When I was thinking up names, I wanted to go with something from Greek or Roman mythology. The story of Orpheus and Eurydice was always one of my favorites, thus, my name.

Also tying into the mythology bit, since a lot of planets/moons in The Verse have mythological names, I thought Orpheus sounded like a good name for a planet.

Then there's the easy explanation: I was listening to the song "Orpheus" by a band called Ash when I was thinking up names.
