Pulled out a dictionary and jumped around until I found a word I liked.

Mispronunciations and various nicknames have led it to become a significantly shorter username than it initially was.

If my handle is taken, I add a suffix that my friends came up with years ago. It works well with what I normally go by, and the solidarity is neat in games.
