Where does your username / nickname come from?

by Firemonkey
I'm sure there must have been another thread at some point about this but after a 'quick look' I couldn't find one so I thought I'd start one.
Fire - the bike...obviously
Monkey - because I have unfeasibly long arms for my height 5'7" and look like a gibbon. Maybe Firegibbon would have been better
Stormmonkey looked too weird with the two 'm's in the middle.
On other forums I am RRmonkey, SP2monkey, SVmonkey and just Monkey.

I like a nice cup of Earl Grey. Plus most of my life seems to consist of Storms in teacups

Embarasingly nerdy reasons.
In my youth I used to Play a lot of MUD's, it was the vogue to have a latinesque name..mine was Draconis Nobilis..sort of stuck and got shortened to Drac in the Alpha/beta testing i do and always keep it at retail.

I would very much like your guitar.
In the dark old days when t'internet was new fangled - I couldn't find a suitable e-mail address. You know the thing... sorry that address is not available.
So, as I used to use ADF as my hip hop type nickname in school.... added a SKI to it just to make sure it was as cheesy as possible.
Never had a problem getting a username with that!
