What is your story behind your profile name?

So I was sitting in the chat room and there was a brief discussion about the story behind our profile names. I found it interesting to hear the stories behind the name and thought I'd invite everyone to share their story if they would like. I'll start us off:
ZKK007:
ZK = All New Zealand registered aircraft must have ZK before their registration letters. This lets other counties know where the aircraft is registered. For example, U.S.A is "N," Australia is "VH," Macedonia "Z3". They are just random assignments to each country. So ZK indicates my home country.
K007 = The "K" is the first letter of my first name, and we all know where "007" comes from . K007 came from my first online profile which was a car racing game that my mates and I played back in high school. Everyone used the first letter of their name and then "007."
So that is my story! What is yours?

Memnoch is from the Anne Rice vampire novel "Memnoch the Devil." It's been my username since I first appeared on the Interwebs many moons ago. I added the 73 (my birth year) a while back when I started registering on sites where plain Memnoch was taken.
Dang, you old.
Like Memnoch's username, John Galt is the ultimate protagonist in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, A book I read in HS (1987) and whose character I started using as my online username shortly thereafter when accessing online BBSs for the first time circa 1990.
FWIW, I'm older than Memnoch - 3/15/1971

And I am older than all of you...In Jewish traditions, many use the first letter or first name of a deceased relative. I was supposed to be named with an "e" after my great grandmother, but my father's father died 4days before I was born. They needed an "s" name. My aunt suggested this, so I was named after Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons song (my parents preferred spelling it with an "i")
Glad you asked???
