I have never bothered to explain my screen name to anyone. Point in fact, no one ever asked. I guess Browncoats are a swell enough bunch that I can let you all in on it.
A few years ago I was trying to register at a games site. Like others have expressed it is an impossibility to find a name that hasn't been taken. The prospect of using something with a bunch of numbers tacked on is not very appealing so I decided to get a little creative.
A concept I have always been fascinated with is the thin line which separates genius and insanity. I took the two words and started playing around with canceling common letters then seeing what was left. Common to both words: I N S. What's left: A T G E U Y. The first intelligible word I could come up with was singate. A name is born!

Nice man!!!!
When I caught your comment and screen name loved it. Especially having lived in Japan and Japanese being my 2nd language. First time I was in Japan, had a commercial w/ a guy dressed up like a Kappa either pluging a humidfyer or bug trap forget which and had this cute jingle with it. Well enjoy and just wanted to say nice job
mata, Ookami yori

Well, mine isn't too inventive. Kaylee was always one of my favorite characters. I'm a girl so I thought which one of the girl characters was I most like? Well Kaylee sprung to mind. Plus I'd heard Mal call her little Kaylee in an episode and I wanted a name to relate to Firefly. And 29 is my age, I added that because I didn't know how many lil_Kaylee's was out there. 
I have also signed on to Serenitymovie.org as lil_Kaylee29 also.
Lots of interesting stories behind those names. Shiny!!
I'm a leaf on the wind....Watch how I soar.
Wash: Captain, don't you know kissin' girls makes ya sleepy? Mal: Sometimes I just can't help myself.

Hahaha! Mine is an evil laugh... Now die!

I honestly have no explanation for my name. Seriously, I got very tired of my old name ("Necralis" for the curious...I realised it made me sound like one of those annoyingly pretentious vampires. This is why I love Buffy, see, the vampires wear terrible shirts), and I was messing around with word combinations. I like the word "Moose", I like the meaning behind "Nano" and it stuck. I've been using it in various combinations for a while now.
Yub, yub.

cool names, everybody!
reckon my name, kepler, is more aspirational than representative!
Kepler = astronomist and astrologist, german, lived 1571-1630, bit of a genius (I'm none of the above!), came up with 3 laws of planetary motion and investigated the idea that the velocities of planetary orbits could be related to musical-harmonic intervals.
Also check out Nasa's Kepler Mission, due to launch June 2008, its going to look for new homes for us! Shiny! it's going to look for habitable terrestrial planets, so lets get terraforming!

Mine came from a day when some friends and I were playing Goldeneye. They said I needed a screenname, and so I looked around. I found a mouse pad with an advertisement for flipdog.com. It doesn't mean anything...it just stuck.

Unfortunately very boring and obvious - plus it's the one I use on all the forums I'm in (which makes it easy to remember).
Comicgirl - I'm an avid collector of comics and I am of the female gender! (Last time I checked anyway)
Crap I know but it's too late to change it now - unless anyone can tell me how????
I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it.
