With the facade of finding out about other people, but with the real reason of wanting to answer publicly a question I hear far too often..,
@ everyone
What does your user name signify/mean/point to?
My son and I used to watch the scifi show, "Firefly." He liked the stupid character Rygel, and I liked the Supurb character Ka D'argo.
When he and I started joining gaming sites online (back when we used Morse Code,) he chose the name RygelKaD... and I chose the name Dargorygel. He has long since stopped playing internet games. But I have kept the Dargorygel.
Your turn. (Unless your UserName is FredJones1005... then I don't care.)

My username is based off of the character Donny in the Big Lebowski as I am sometimes called that. And Dude is an excellent way to be.

I have had so many theories. None of them were this.

Senlac is where the invaders under Duke William of Normandy defeated the Saxons under Harold Godwinson in 1066, commonly known as the Battle of Hastings. I visited as a history obsessed schoolboy on the 1966 anniversary & was always fascinated by the story of the last successful English invasion.
I’ve used the name ever since where a “nom de plume” is required.

Durga (pronunciation: [ˈd̪ʊrɡaː]; Sanskrit: दुर्गा; Bangla: দুর্গা), meaning "the inaccessible" or "the invincible", is the most popular incarnation of Devi and one of the main forms of the Goddess Shakti in the Hindu pantheon.

When I was a kid back in 2009, I needed a username to play Bloons Tower Defense 4 on MochiGames. I was playing around with a magnet at the time, and my favorite number is 24... there you have it! (although I have gone by many different usernames in my time on the Internet, Magnetic24 was my very first.)
And Durga, you should listen to the song Durga by E.S. Posthumus. One of my favorite songs.

by Octavious
Shortly before I was born my parents were being pestered by various family members about what they would call their new child, and bombarded with countless suggestions that would be a tribute to certain grandparents and great grand parents.
Eventually their patience ran out and in an act of vengeance declared I would be named Octavious Daniel, which is the story they stuck to until the Christening. I've been using the name ever since I found out :).

My dad used to do business with a company called ChemAqua. I had a hat that said it and when I started playing games it became TheChemicalAqua. Then I shortened it to Chaqa. This would have all been circa 2004 or so.

I guess mine is a derivative of my real name, other than that I don't know what ovic is. I used to read it like its pronounced in Turkish: ovige (I don't know pronunciation alphabet like Durga, I only write a word it would sound like). Later I started to pronounce it like Google Translate does (c like k).
I wish I could change it into something meaningful, or someone find a meaning for ovic so I could explain it to other people.

911 is because i am born at 9 november. And you write that as 9-11 in The Netherlands, where i am from.

Mwhaha, the English like to believe that's the last successful invasion.. I forgive you though, as a history obsessed schoolboy in '66 you didn't have the luxury of wikipedia and had to rely on state propaganda.
