What's in a name?

A bit off topic, light relief on a Sunday morning. OK - blow your anonymity.
How did you choose your login name?
Are wasabi peas really that hot? Did Iank miss-spell? Just how blue is the baby? Does Biiiiink really liiiiike so many eyes? Who's souvenir is Souvenir? Bombards - why Bombards? Anyone else that I've missed?
Mine is dead simple - I'm from Wales, so it's my lastname - miss-spelled.
"A palendrome of Bolton would be Notlob" - Monty Python, circa very early 70's.

Morwenna is a name adopted for a character in an online role-play game I wasted many happy hours playing! Morw was for short as most of my online buddies wrote it for quickness. 
I picked a number of Welsh names as I was at college in Cardiff and I named my characters after friends from back then!, but Morwenna has been my most enduring!

A haiku (I think).
Little peas, big pain.
Mouth a flame, delicious.

Commonly packages as:

Aren't you sorry you asked?

Mine's dull. Needed quick inspiration for a nick on IRC way back when...and had a "Life in Hell" postcard on my desk at the time, so was variously Binky, Bink. After a while I kept getting nick collision kills before Ircnet and Efnet split (I'm old you know!) so it was quite fortuitous when my student keyboard got a bit sticky with fag ash, PopTarts and White Lightning, and I ended up one day as Biiiiink. It stuuuuck.

Me? Dragged kicking and screaming from the UK by a returning French Canadian soldier. Maybe I should have called myself Warbride (Warhubby, anyway).

My very first email address I ever had back in 1983 for my first job out of university was sysclp. I was the system admin and my initials then were CLP and the character limit was 6. It is pretty unique so I use it when I have to register at new places since it is unlikely to be already in use.

Bombards- when this whole adventure started we had just finished building work on our beautiful home and had traced the land history via ordnance survey. Previously a building called Bombards was build on same spot. Our house was going to be named this but as we had to sell, I used it on here instead. The name will now stay with us forever!

Mine was invented for another board, one rife with po faced feminism and political correctness (http://www.guardian.co.uk/talk). I needed an anonymous name at short notice for a debate about child support. One of my daughters suggested deadbeat dad. I contracted it to dbd, added 33 as it was the next free number at hotmail and ploughed in.
