Oh, my name, right.  It's not all that interesting.  Way back in the 90's, I got on the Internet while I was interested in astronomy, and I used "Quazar" for a handle on MUDs and stuff.  Over time, it shorted to "QZR", but I dropped it after a while.  Cut to years later, when I was joining this forum, I wanted a different handle, and remembered the old QZR.  I thought about it for a minute, bought a few vowels, and got "Aqizzar".

I like it, because it sounds like a real name or word, but is completely unplaceable.  When I came up with it, Google returned no exact matches at all, so apparently I'm the first person in history to put those specific letters in that specific order.  Considering it's still pronounceable, I think that's pretty cool.

No, I love astronomy.  How about "Zebrula"?

Nope, that's already a word too.  The trick is to reach something you can say, that one has ever typed before.

Huh. It's too bad Jackrabbit's so common, being a creature. When I made it, I was thinking of Max, not Jazz Jackrabbit, surprisingly enough.

Strife is pretty common.

Strife26 isn't that much better.  >:(

I'm the only Strife on star pirates though, and I take comfort in that fact.

Hence the 78963? Actually, I haven't had much problems getting the name Jackrabbit. If you see the name on another forum, it's probably me.

Heh, I wonder how many other random-sounding-gibberish names (err...no offense Aq) originated from muds.

Kinseti was my default for muds with fascist naming conventions and eventually became my default for anything because I can't think of a clever original handle...I think the original was a Mon-Calamari Smuggler. Good times.

WorkerDrone is a name that came to me one day for a reason that I forgot soon after.

I shit you not, I do not remember at all why I chose that name, but I can't quite see myself using a different one now for some reason.

Something as stupid as your screen name for a game or a forum starts to grow on you after a certain period of time I suppose, and I know for damn sure it isn't common, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Though it may not be rare. ITS UNCOMMON AT THE VERY LEAST.

Worst part is, I cant change it to something more original becuase I use it everywhere.

I just really hate being a number...
