What's in a name?

Hey Seibertronians,
I'm bored of my dissertation again, so here I am with another generic topic on stuff.
I've always been curious about this kind of thing, as I take some time to come up with a suitable alias for message boards.
My question is: Why and how did you choose your Seibertron.com username?
Does it have any particular significance? Did you ponder on it for ages? Do you always use the same one all over the internet?
I'll start this time!
Va'al is there for a couple of reasons:
- It reminds me of Ba'al, which is cool.
- Because Ba'al is at the root of Beelzebub, and my previous screen name was Bestesbulzibar (from teh R.A. Salvatore Demon Wars books), it's a kind of progression on the demonic scale (or regression?).
- It's actually a mixture of my surname (Valente) and first name (Alex).
I chose it when I started playing Star Wars: KOTOR (which I never finished), and it jsut stuck. I have to use various spellings of it, due to the apostrophe, so on different sites I can be Vaal or Vahal.
Now the ball's rolling, your turn..!
