How did you pick your username?

I am always intrigued by user names and why people chose to use theirs. So my question is how did you decide on yours? With me it is a combination of my favourite kids show (Strawberry Shortcake) love of dessert (pie) and favourite number (7).

Leo isn't my star sign (it is DH's though!) - I'm actually Piscean! Leo is a name that has great significance to me and seeing as I'm female I used the feminine form of lion.

How grand it must be, to be the chosen one...
A bit dull really - the year I was born and part of my name.

I had a boring UN. I was feeling craptacularly miserable and changed it to Bad (after one of my favourite U2 songs). Then I cheered up and felt like something more fun than my original UN was in order. I identify very strongly with cats, being kinda furry and extraordinarily lazy, so BadCat was born.

Should be cleaning!
I have been chaning my user name a lot lately to reflect whats going on in my life. At the moment it is because we got a very cute bunny who DS3 named Roger (which is a big achievement for him). And as DS2 says "he is our baby isn't he mum"

When I was 15 I was hitting the US BBS boards to chat to the college students I needed a username then. I had a much loved budgie named DJ and we all affectionately called her deejie. So I named myself deejie and have continued to do so for every username since.
