My first name is Hugh, you'll be stunned to read. My last name before I married starts with an F. The woman I love 
also had a last name which began with an F. When we got married, we decided that we wwanted to share our names rather than one person changing to match. So we became the hyphenated FF, the firefly link is just a marvellous co-incidence.
PS in NZ at that time, the woman could change her name when she married but the man had to change his name by deed poll, so to do what Mrs FF got for free, I paid $88.

Yukari is the name of my favorite character from Azumanga Daioh. She's the insane teacher I always wanted. I originally used the name on my Xanga which was Yukari_baby. And when I registered here, I need something. And since 'Shiny' is such a great word...
Yeah, it's simple, but I love it. It's my name on all the Firefly places I'm registered at.

when i was in university, my nickname was kaci. our last year, my roommate and i had to take a government class (who knew?) and we ended up taking the same Latin America History class. the first day, the prof made some comment about quesadillas and my roommate turned to me and said "you're a kaci-deeya!" we decided since it came from the Latin American class, we'd keep the Latin American spelling...the double 'L' as a 'yee' sound.
it's just a screen name now...and the only way i sign emails/cards/letters to her.

I think mine's obvious. People who don't know me often call me "CallMe" in the chat, though.
Oh, and I'm nothing like Mr. Wing, I just like the name.
Except for the handsomeness, of course.

Mine is the name of one of the bad guys from C.J. Cherryh's superlative Pride of Chanur novels. Rather than the villain, though, he's the protagonists' untrustoworthy and dangerous ally. He is, of course, nonhuman; he is kif, a treacherous, brutal race with the all-pervasive drive to save face. Kind of like me, except the exact opposite.
I've used it on numerous message boards, mainly because it's never, ever taken. In chat rooms, people sometimes call me Sikk, which sort of amuses me.
On the few occasions it has been taken, I switch over to IssekOfTheJug, a reference to the best piece of short fantasy fiction ever written, Fritz Leiber's "Lean Times in Lankhmar."
I don't think anybody's ever actually gotten it.

It would be interesting to see who, from this thread, is still active.

Still here :D
My name I chose from my favourite Silent Movie : The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari. Wherein a nefarious Doctor manipulates a Somnambulist (sleepwalker) into terrorising the residence of an isolated Village....
°...Well here I am.°

Still active, relatively speaking, although I just checked and unless I blinked at the wrong time while scrolling I haven't posted in this thread yet. I know there was another one in which I did, or else I'm thinking of other boards.
E. C. Gordon is the main character in Robert Heinlein's Glory Road, a part for which Nathan would be well suited if anyone ever makes the movie. He used his initials only, since his parents saddled him with the awkward name of Evelyn Cyril. He answered to various nicknames over the years, including Easy, Flash, Scar and Oscar. To understand those last two you'll just need to read the book.
