What does your username mean?

in Chit-Chat
With all the funny and sometimes odd usernames I was wondering what they mean or what was the inspiration behind them. Mine....

I was a rather volcanic child/young woman, my gram used to call my temper either a beautiful storm or a perfect storm and told me

never to apologize for it, it was strength and as I got older I would learn how to harness it.

    My name is Kayla.
    My favourite play is Peter and the Starcatcher.
    And so Kayla and the Starcatcher was created.

    Although, I think I'd actually rather be the starcatcher instead of with the starcatcher, but whatever, that's another story.

    It's what kids call me because no one can say my last name right. The foremen at my job call me that too.

    Mine comes from a few different things.

    Dark - combination of my haircolor/eyecolor and my sense of humor. I was "tall, dark, and funny" in highschool (where the nickname started)

    Guardian - comes from how protective I am of the people I care about. Started at a party where I stopped a rape. The cop who refused to arrest me for putting the other guy in the hospital called me that.

    419- 4/19, my son's birthday.

    Funny thing is, most people don't know the first two :D

    I think I identified with the comic character when I was younger because he was named after the animal which is described as - "[The wolverine] is a stocky and muscular carnivore, more closely resembling a small bear than other mustelids. The wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times its size."

    and the 66 was my jersey number when i played sports.

    i've used some variation of the screenname since the dial-up/ AOL days.

    As a rather "robust" and "adventurous" Marine in the early 70's, I found myself getting in trouble a few times. On one of those occasions, I found myself incarcerated for a time.

    Being the alpha male, I found myself in a rather bad situation while incarcerated. Another person by the name of Dan, came to my aid. It improved the odds a bit and probably saved me some considerable grief. He was a biker. His handle was "Road Dog." I'm just paying homage to a guy that helped me out of a tight situation. That was 40 years ago. I've often wondered what happened to Dan -- the original Road Dog.
