'mini' is the second half of my actual first name. Around the time the Austin Powers movies came out, a Uni friend started calling me 'minime' (I'm also... diminutive in size - that is to say, short); it stuck.

I believe this has been done before, but who cares?
So my name goes back a few years
When I wanted to sign up to Delphi Forums I tried a bunch of names and every single one was taken. I didn't want to just use my name cos... well it was a bit dull, but I was getting desperate
In the end, I said to my brother that I bet no matter how obscure the name, it wouldn't let me have it.
So I typed in NeedSalt (A reference to First Wave, where the aliens involved had a weakness for salt and so could be used in interrogations and the like) and you know what? It worked.
Only then did I realise that I was stuck with it.
But then people started to call me Needy and I thought, "hey, it's not so bad... as long as they're not referring to being desperate"
So pretty much everywhere I go on the net, I'm either Needy or Needsalt. It keeps things simple
How ironic it was though that when we were asked to create a crew as part of the official site's tasks, that I became our ship's Male companion
Companion... by the name of Needy?
Surely not a coincidence

Mine's pretty self-exlanitory, I own a 1985 Buick Riviera rat-rod. It looks like something a Reaver might call home.

How many Jaynes does it take to change a light bulb?
Two. One to try to put it in and another to find a bigger hammer.

Originally posted by, erm, me:
Had this idea while talking to Violetrix, every name has a story:
Mine started because I used to play a Game called Giants at Uni (only as research into computer simulations, you understand) in which was a character named Citizen Kabuto.
I then Started playing Counter Strike where my name changed to Citizen Suicide, because of my tactics that involved running at the opposing side with a knife.
And then getting shot.
At some point which I'm not particularly sure of it changed to Citizen Pain (probably around the time I actually got good...) partially as a nod to my abillities to inflict pain on my opponents (god that I was...) and partly as a fairly transparent nod to Citizen Kane.
I've gradually dropped the pain part (though it still follows me to this day to some degree), but that's the story of my name.
What's yours?

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. But I know none, and therefore am no beast.

Mine's actually a name I've used in my work. I teach computers, and specialise in teaching absolute beginners - as in people who wave the mouse around and wonder why it doesn't work.
So when I set up an e-mail address they could contact me at I used the name Desktop Hippie. Because I promote peace and harmony with your computer. Man.
Also, back when I had an office job I was known as the office hippie. I got teased a lot for my new-age outlook. I used to play up to it sometimes too, mostly to annoy another guy who was a total capitalist. I kept offering to cleanse his aura and things like that (something I don't actually do, but it sounded cool!) It became a running joke. That's when the name Desktop Hippie first came to me.

Well...kinda self-explanatory. I absolutely love Kaylee (I swear we're, like, the same person! 
) and the word Shiny. Dunno why I decided on the Forever bit. Some friends like to say its because I'm always so gorram perky all the time (again, just like Kaylee. lol) and it annoys the heck outta them. 
Cheers,
PS: Happy April Fools Day! Mwahahaha....

Mine's pretty straightforward. Came here as a devoted Jayne-enthusiast, so when signing on I just twisted 'Hero of Canton' and femmed it up some.
Most folks on the boards usually shorten it to CH. Makes me feel all kinds of accepted since I never had a nickname before.
