This name stuck with me ever since I saw it on someone's music page. I thought it was pronounced bew, but I learned that it was pronounced boh. I've been using this name for online computer games and decided to stay with this nick for this site.

My nickname at another forum is Sprite Sedai, and I am often called Spriteling over there. I chose that original name because I love faeries, and a sprite is a type of faery.

The reason I chose my nickname was Captain is a comissioned officer rank in all of the branches of the service.

Well I chose mine because it means "God from Machine" basically, or an artificial solution. It is also used in films and other story situations as a plot device, as an explain something. Plus it's latin which looks pretty cool in my opinion and kind of implies a kind of combination of the macabre and the intellectual (Which is what I strive to be in everything among other things).

By the way, I like reptiles too and have kind of a facination with dragons too, plus my chinese sign is the earth dragon. ^_^

Just not equally ranked. Well, Capt. is an O-3 paygrade for the US Air Force, Army, and Marines; but in the Navy and Coast Guard it's O-7, the equivalent to their full-bird Colonels.

:arrow:

As for my name...just something that came to me. As a very-recently diagnosed (or at least highly suspected) Aspie who is a Christian, thus I am "for J.C." -- Jesus Christ my Savio(u)r.

Because of the song Darts of Pleasure by Franz Ferdinand. It says:

Mine is also my eBay username, but why I chose it in the first place is because I thought it sounded cool, and I like technology and techno music.

I chose KBABZ because it's an acronym for the main characters in a 65,000 word story I have:

Koise
Booger
Aiko
Bob
Zoe

Oh, and I also like eating various meat, vegetables, fruit and lollies that have been impaled on sticks... :wink:

I love Latin, and right now I'm reading the Satyricon by Petronius. The real Trimalchio's a rich ex-slave in the novel who gives a dinner party.
