Like someone else said, I'm always trying to come up with something neat sounding at the last minute and I can never think of anything.
So I stole the name Seafort from a series of sf novels by David Feintuch that I read years ago and always liked. I couple of places I go by Seafort007 (two geek things smashed together!)
Usually I play on some variation of my name, it gets hard to keep track of all these things tho...

My name's Elizabeth (duh) and i never got a cool nickname. so...ummmm...yeah.
Hey, there. I'm near certain that vera is actually Spanish for side. And I am certain that verdad is Spanish for "true" and/or truth. Slight difference, but thought it worth mentioning.
I've had my name a long, long time. However, I'm not entirely sure where my name came from - I refuse to believe it's a personality thing - so I'd appreciate any recollections you may have.
I'm thinkin' a play on "Hell's Kitchen" (the New York immigrant district)?

Wow, Great responses. Glad I'm not the only one to take from a CCG(Collectable Card Game). A few years back I played Legend of the Five Rings(L5R) based on the Book of Five Rings. Set in feudal Japan with samurai and ninja with magic and demons thrown in for fun. I played mostly the Crab clan which defended the empire from the Hoards of the Shadowlands (demons & undead) The Jade Hand was an item that made smackin' em easier. I also sometimes use Tsukai_Sagasu which was supposed to be japanese for 'Witch Hunter'. I don't know if it actually translates that way. *shrugs*.

In fourth grade I brought a bunch of Beatles records to school. Soon everyone started calling me Beatle including my teachers and parents. All through high school I only wrote Beatle on all my papers. A lot of people never new my real name.

Simple. Rahne is my middle name (and its pronounced 'rain'). Kat is a derivative of my first name. Together, I am Rahnekat. I've been using that as a screen name since I started surfing the 'net years and years ago.

Mine is a veiled Transformer reference.
One of my favourite TF characters is Skybyte, the Predacon shark from Robots in Disguise. Like Skybyte, I tend to be somewhat angsty, highly literate (English Major, which around here means English Lit Major), and somewhat clumsy and silly. I'm also known for being really sarcastic/ironic (nothing like the feeling of tellng someone off and watching it fly right over their heads. It's beautiful).
Skybyte's toy was a repaint of the Transmetal Cybershark mold, and "snarky" means sarcastic.
On other forums, I tend to use "Beast"-related words, both 'cause of "Beauty and," and because I'm one of those wierdos who talks to animals.
I'm known as BeastMaster (a type of Jedi who communes with animals --my Star Wars RPG persona, for JK.net), Flying Beastie ('cause I'm still the "BeastMaster" persona, only airborne on XWA.net), and JediBeast (AMV.org, KaZaA).

Well, back along, I started writing fan fictions, and I decided that I wanted a unique nom de plume.
Now, I have an interest in legendary animals (e.g. dragons, griffins etc), and there is one called a manticore. See link for more info on said beastie: http://monsters.monstrous.com/manticore.htm
Anyway, the Greek for it was 'mantikhoras', and I thought 'How'd you pronounce that? Mantichorus, perhaps.'
Later (weeks or months), I was looking at another book, and learnt the old term for a narrator was 'chorus'. The two things linked together, and I decided that it was unique enough for my pen name! Phew.

Mine's the letters for "Out of Gas", cause it's my favorite Firefly ep. And I couldn't think of anything else.
The other name I use on boards is usually "fsfanatic" cause, I'm a huge (both literally and figuretively) Farscape fan. But I didn't think the Firefly boardies would appreciate that ;) I occasionally use "dolfuns4me" as well, cause I like Dolphins.
