In my case, Yirg is a short for Yirgacheffe - my favorite type of Ethiopian coffee beans.

What's the meaning of your username?

Many years ago, in order to play with Age of Empires II, I chose the nickname "Lord Giacomo" (Giacomo is my real name). I thought it was suitable with the game.

Some years later, I decided to change my nickname in "Lord9600XT" in order to celebrate the graphic card which let me to play with Half-Life 2: http://techreport.com/review/5768/ati-radeon-9600-xt-graphics-card

It's from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and you should just read all the books. A Hoopy is defined as "a really together guy." and Frood is "a really amazingly together guy."

This is just the name I came up when I created a new character (priest) in dragon nest.
And it is almost never used by anybody, except it is already taken in Github.
Other than that, it is likely me.

And what do you know, my issue of that novel had a typo, hence the slighly difference username (I would only discover it years later). But I guess it makes it more unique now.

I was certain it's your name. I'm so so naive...

It also puts a different light on that other user. Apparently he just doesn't share your literary preferences, nothing personal :-)

Actually it's not popular, but I live near the Austrian and Slovenian borders. In that corner of Italy they play it quite a lot.

My previous name would be more to your liking then. It was Klipkop. 'Klip' meaning rock and 'kop' meaning head so basically 'rockhead' or 'blockhead'. I don't think you would want to know the thought process swirling around in my head :)

Gwar = my favorite metal band
Bane = Was the name of the God of death and destruction from some fantasy books I've read in the past.

So I called my self Gwar's Bane, or Gwar's God of Death and Destruction, So I just put it all together as Gwarsbane.

Thank you! Unfortunately long after I started using it a singer started using a similar name to me so people have been assuming I am referencing him. It's unrelated though or maybe a K-Pop star is a fan of mine. Who knows!

I tried to register a name on another site and all variations of my name "jac" were already taken, predictably. I got so frustrated that I started cursing and jokingly added "verdammt" to my name, which means "damn" in German, kind of like "my name is jac GODDAMMIT". It stuck and I kinda like it. :P

CCL stands for Crazy Cat Lord, 666 (as in six hundred sixty-six and opposed to the nonsensical "six-six-six") is tied to many things important in my religious system (none of which having anything to do with evil or the devil as it is depicted by the Religions of the Book).

I;m gonna guess your religious system has something to do with crazy cat lords... And that last part seems pretty fishy. So I'm gonna make that crazy EVIL cat lords.

The Crazy Cat Lord part is actually unrelated to the number, although come to think of it, Bast is definitely a recognised Godform in my system (and many interlocking others).
