Where your name comes from... your nick, not your real

Now to set the record straight, before people ask questions, no, I'm not going to tell you where your name came from. This is simply a topic about what made people decide to make their nickname what it is today.

And to start it off, Mackilroy comes from two sources: first, my love of Macs, thus the "Mac" part of Mackilroy. The second part, kilroy, comes from the character Kilroy, who goes to places we have been to before we went to them, and leaves the message, "Kilroy was here," to all who visit the place after him.

Have fun.

Vecoriwen = My name in Elven.

-EmC

Oh and I nicknamed someone in my family Baldy McHottie... :-D
And I nicknamed a friend Scooner...but he doesn't know it yet.
And somtimes I call Moon, M.
Can you imagine if I was deranged?

No, please, no!

Ah, yes, I forgot to include my former nick: Cap'n Redeye. I'd been reading a book, and I saw "redeye flight" on there, so I combined it with Cap'n, and went from there.

Oh, yes, I'm also mentioned in a plug-in by Tim Isles...see if you can figure out which one.

And if I refuse? :P

Mine I took from Bond. A Lektor was a Russian coding machine used in the cold war, similar to the German Enigma machine. I just liked the name..

If by dreams, you mean nightmares. And by fantasies you mean drug-infused dilusions, then yes, yes you are...

It's from the game...

And Anaxagoras was a Greek poet/philosopher. Google it, if you don't know of him.
