Default Why Did You Choose Your Username?

Sorry if this has been done but I couldn't find anything.
So
mine is hennessy because that's my surname
it was ghostface77 before because I like the name Ghostface from spirited away and wu tang member and 77 the year I was born and star wars released.
so how about your?

Appearance Of A Junky.

Trying to come up with a user name that is different and unique so I can use it for mutiple things (previous forums, Xbox account)

I'm tall, skinny and generally scruffy appearance.
I have an interest in the counter culture and certain writers of this, and the lifes they led.
One Writer in particular was William S Burroughs, and one of his best known books is Junky (which also is the reason why my names Junky and not Junkie).

Not that I look like him, but I like the imagery.

For your eyes only - William S Burroughs

Naked Lunch is very hard reading, as did a lot of his 'cut and paste' stuff.

Junky though is an amazing read - or, if you prefer to be lazy, you can find it as an audio book read by Burroughs his voice is amazing.

Mine has quite a good twist to it
I am in love with Leona Lewis and it is her name backwards. If I was called Harry I wouldn't have chosen it, but my name is Lewis.. so it makes sense

Lewis is my name
Leona - I'm in love with her

LewisLeona is Leona Lewis back to front

My first name is the Jam bit and my surname in the Lemon bit.

Mine was my nickname, confusing story. Kind of links with the fact people from manchester can't pronounce their 'Th' sounds and I took the mick and said Thomas as Fomas... and it stuck.
