Pseudonyms

resonantI've always been fascinated by pseudonyms. One of the things I loved best about Samuel Delany's Dhalgren (other than the sex, of course) was that everyone who came to Bellona got to choose a new name. So of course when I came to the internet, I jumped at the chance to rename myself.
Just out of curiosity (and because everyone's away watching television shows that I can't see, damn it), I've got a poll on how people feel about their pseuds.
I like mine OK, though sometimes I wish I'd chosen something more like a name, and I definitely wish it were easier to google it without getting ten thousand irrelevant hits.
If anyone cares to give me a comment explaining the origin of their pseudonym, this would entertain me to no end.
