How did you come up with your Computer Name?

There are so many ways to come up with a new computer name. I'm interested in learning the thought processes behind some I've seen on various sites. Do they say something about the person? Did you get that little lightbulb over your head and shout "Eureka!" when you found the right name? Did someone else suggest it? Does it have a secret meaning you just cannot share with others? Did another person or thing that's special to you seem like the best choice? How did you do it? My computer name - Mysticmaggie - came from my enjoyment of shows like 'Medium' and 'The Mentalist' and 'Ghost Whisperer'. I've always been fascinated with the possibility that people really can see and hear things most of us can't. Did that special talent just happen and have to be worked at to keep or was it really something they couldn't help and would prefer not to have? Or, is it real or totally fake? So mysticism and my own nickname came out to be mysticmaggie. I like it because it seems to fit perfectly. How about you? Where did your computer name come from? Do you have more than one?

My usual one for forums is FordMNX which is born out of the fact that I love Fords and my plate on the car has MNX on it - Ford666UK is born out of the same idea. I have had so many names in the past but I wanted something everyone would remember.

I like it! I love Ford trucks. Had an F150 and drove it into the ground before giving it up. Yours is definitely a memorable name, especially to other Ford lovers!
