Okay when I was at university our whole course went out for a sort of getting-to-know-each-other drinking session. After a lot of drink we started calling everyone by nick-names..one guy got Sampras for looking a bit like Pete, another got Banjo as that was a nickname he'd been given years earlier.
Being the youngest one there (only 17) I hadn't really done as much drinking as the others before(yeah right)and as such i didn't drink pints of lager as they made me feel bloated. So I was sitting drinking my bottle of lager when someone asked what I was drinking I just said "bottle", someone turned round and said "look at the baby with his bottle..are you drinking milk?"..this then went on to become Milky the nickname I've used for 7 years.
Variations I use on the net are Millky and MilkyNo1 depending on whether Milky is available.

Tis from Due South. Season 2, the episode Letting Go, I think. Benton Fraser is describing how he got a scar.

Keen-angel... no hard "g" required
by Vix
And while we're on the subject of pronounciations - Keenangel - is that Keen-angel, or Keenan-gel (with a hard 'g')?

Mine is a combination of my surname and loving the vamp with a soul

My username is all Rally's fault...
More specifically, there was an incident at N3K last year when I fell asleep at our table and missed Joss Whedon wandering over. In a thread on the old boards, there was something about peoples names and what they could mean, and he came up with something like - 'If you're not careful, you'll end up in a state of Dan and miss all the action'
So I thought I'd keep it.

Mine's too simple - I'm a FarScape fan! In the famous Toon episode (Revenging Angel), at one point we see a tombstone that reads something like "R.I.P., Here Lies John Crichton, Human, Astronut, Natural Born Loser"...

It's my name. Short for Lindsay. It really is that simple.
On BUK of course, I was lil_Oz, lil (or L'il) because I'm "ickle" (as Stoo puts it) and Oz was my fave Buffy character. Everyone just called me Lil, and when Road to T21 opened, I decided not to have a Buffy-related name, and ended up as just Lil.
When T21 opened, I just decided to go with my real name. It's not to say I didn't like my old name, however, it's just what I ended up going with. It's taking some getting used to (I still sometimes try to type "Lil" when I log in here) for me and other people- of course if anyone here still wants to call me Lil that's fine with me!
On other boards where "Linz" has been taken, I've gone with "Invader Linz", like my favourite cartoon Invader Zim.

Um...Tannhauser was a character in a German myth. Short version - disappears beneath the Venusberg, lives with Venus, gets angsty, leaves, begs Pope for forgiveness, is denied. A sign from God tells the Pope that he is in fact redeemable, but he disappears back into the Earth before he can be told this.
There's a Wagner opera called Venus und Tannhauser, and also a never-completed serial in Savoy (the successor to the Yellow Book) called "Under the Hill", written and illustrated by the mighty mighty mighty Aubrey Beardsley, which is one of the finest works of decadent literature around.
Anyway, back in the early days of the Interwebnet my then-girlfriend used the monicker Venus, so when I joined it made sense ot be Tannhauser, and it kind of stuck from then on.

A friend of mine had been recording dance tracks under the name 'DJ Billy Gaze', so when I was looking for a name nopne else would have I thought that would probably do the job

This is what I wrote the last time I was asked:
(Edited by Random 15/03/2002 22:01)
Well now... it happened like this:
Back in 1988/9, when I was engaged to a witch, most of the circle of people I was involved with had adopted 'true' names, which we used as private nicknames and occasionally during rituals. For example, my ex called herself Noone - put a hyphen in between the Os and you get her view of herself. Sad woman. Her brother called himself Iruv - short for infra red / ultra violet, which was meant to express... well, I'm not sure what it expressed, except the first time I met him he stood on one leg for 40 minutes, motionless, staring at a lightbulb, which probably says more about him than his choice of name ever could.
Anyway, I picked Random.
I did it partly because I liked having a name that suggested
unpredictability, untrustworthiness and a certain shifty rogueishness (it's not for nothing that one of my main e-mail addresses is andy@artfuldodger.co.uk). I love that whole character-type - the dashing but sinister Mills and Boon villain, the sort of character Adam Ant loved dressing up as, the sort you'd cast Alan Rickman to play in the movie. (Remember my profile photo on BuffyUK? Evil.)
But the main reason I picked it was because, well, for exactly the reason your friend spotted... and he's picked a good quote, too. I lifted it from the character Random in Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber, who is an unpredictable, untrustworthy, shifty rogue - right up until the moment he proves to be the most noble at heart of any of them and is made king.
