OFFTOPIC-Somewhat. Screen name stories

Since we aren't really doing that much I figured we might as well do something quasiproductive. How did some of you arrive at your chosen screen names? Is Saint actually a saint? Or is he a huge Val Kilmer fan? Is brhynno actually his rap name, given to him because his name's really Bob and he has an unusually large nose? Since I am the one and only angelesoterica, I figured that some might be curious as to how I got mine. I read "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe and in the book there is a scene where the Hell's Angels show up at Ken Kesey's place and get high with the hippies. The phrase "Angel esoterica" appears when Wolfe is describing Hell's Angels tripping on acid. It was stuck in my head and when I had dreams of starting an epic black metal band it was going to be my stage name. So that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. What's yours? Feel free to indulge in a little fun and create an epic tale, or be a turd and blandly say something like "I'm a huge fan of Todd Marinovich and that's why my name is ToddMarinovichRules". Not that anyone in their right mind would say that. But that's the joy of being in the Nation. No one here is in their right mind.
