smiley - groan - you picked that name just to make the bad joke, didn't you?

I would think most people would be able to work out the etymology behind my nickname.

most people don't believe how I got my nickname.

I saw it in a memory of the future (which happened later) and then started using it as a nom-deplume.

clzoomer- a bit woobly

I had a memory of the future once but it turned out to be a thought of the present.

Stealth "Jack" Azathoth

*C&P's the explaination on his space*

Stealth is

...the alias I use. Stealth as a noun, began as a relitively obscure referance to a charactor from Robert Rankin's > The Dance of The Voodoo Handbag. It has formed a part of almost every alias I have used with various different suffixes attached over time and from one site to the next.

podamonkey

I used to be "Encapsulated Life Pod No. 3" which was a name that just popped into my head, fully formed, for no real reason.

Then in RL I met the researcher known as "minimonkey". She got her name after we both watched a program about minimonkeys on "Discovery Channel". They are small and cute and really exist.

We got married in RL two months ago. The names got married too. Hence:
"Podamonkey"

Elentari

I am thinking about changing my name - Phoenix s a bit obvious and, dare I sayit, boring. There's about 9 researchers who have it too, and loads who have it as part of their name. Only thing is, it's a bit of a hassle changing it...

I'm looking for a fantasy name, sort of what you get in The Lord of the Rings, any suggestions? I want something unusual but short.
