Well...where mine comes from is a funny story.....
Basically, back before I officially joined, a lurked a lot (shameful, I know 
). For some reason, after reading some fics and noticing images of the male BDHs (excluding Book sadly), a plot bunny started percolating in my then shaggy melon about our four blue-eyed BDHs needing to rescue their brown-eyed lovelies (cuz if you use the Joss-certified (mostly) pairings of Mal/Inara, Zoe/Wash, Simon/Kaylee and Jayne/River, you get four couples with the same gender-to-eye colour matches).
So...from there, the plot bunny started growing and I though about a fic title like "The Blue Eyed Brigade" in reference to Serenity's male crewmembers (was working on a slightly/moderate AU premise that only Book got offed in the BDM).
But then I realized that to submit the fic, I needed to join...which i was gonna do anyway regardless of a fic evolving in my head. So I started thinking about what screen name to have...until it hit me. As the author, I got to command the actions of the BEB (see the corrolation yet 
) in the story (plus I am blessed with azure-tinted peepers myself), I thought "Hell, why not 'BlueEyedBrigadier?"
So that's the story of the name...that so far hasn't gained any meaning since no fic has been written of yet
...mainly cuz I couldn't figure out how to have the ladies get captured when you have a solider, a psychic assassin, a Companion with at least decent self-defence skills and a mechanical genius as the four characters.

The Somnambulist.
An old fashioned word for sleepwalker... I use it not as a nod to the ANGEL episode Somnambulist, but from my favourite black and white silent film:The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari wherein a mad Physician travelled around towns with a cabinet, in which he would let loose a sleepwalker or Somnambulist to go about the town performing the doctors nefarious deeds.

Because it wasn't taken??
- Seriously, that's why. I wanted a Firefly reference and couldn't believe the first one I tried wasn't taken.
Besides, I like Griswold cast iron ware.

screen name origins: interesting subject. I was trying to make a statement about my religious "non-affiliation", and include my actually name (Chris), and being that my sister calls me the anti-christ (because of my religious "non-affiliation") I came up with "auntychris" (meant to put a t on the end but goofed up). Sometimes I'm just too damn clever for my own good, ya know.

Everyone has origins and meanigns for thier names. I feel all lonely. Doesn't anyone else like to make up cool sounding names? Am I the only one? *weep* Just kidding.
Well at least there are some cool names here. And some of these stories are pretty interesting.

BrowncoatSandinista -
I, like the rest of you, can be called a "Browncoat" and I was listening to the Clash's album "Sandinista" when I joined. This prompted me to look at the similarities between the "Browncoats" both in the context of the show and real life and the Sandinistas. We're pretty similar, sans the human rights violations ((I hope...))
If anyone gets nosy...Shoot em.
Shoot em sir?

E. C. Gordon is the main character in one of my favorite books, Robert A. Heinlein's Glory Road (and no, it's not about a basketball team - go read the book!)
I also answer to the names Oscar, Scar, Flash and Easy.

Mine comes from an odd little film called "J-Men Forever", which got quite a bit of play on the USA network's old "Night Flight" weekend programming block in the 80's.
It consisted of footage from a number of old Republic Studios cliffhanger serials cut together and re-dubbed to a script written by two members of the Firesign Theater comedy ensemble. The resultant wonderful mess centers on a war waged by government agents and superheroes against dope smugglers from the moon.
"RocketJock" was the name the film gave to the Rocketman/Commando Cody character, and I immediately adopted it as my call sign in the Blue Blaze Irregulars (a Buckaroo Banzai fan group). It's served as a fannish handle in various ways ever since.
