Personally, I usually go with InvaderGashloog, 666_Maggots, or 6(Sic)6_Maggots. The last two are because I'm a Slipknot fan and the first was inspired by my favorite cartoon as a kid, Invader Zim.

    It's from Homer's The Iliad:
    Anger be now your song, immortal one,
    Akhilleus’ anger, doomed and ruinous,
    that caused the Akhaians loss on bitter loss
    and crowded brave souls into the undergloom,
    leaving so many dead men — carrion
    for dogs and birds; and the will of Zeus was done.
    Begin it when the two men first contending
    broke with one another —
    the Lord Marshal
    Agamémnon, Atreus’ son, and Prince Akhilleus.

    Also the name of a song my band's recording.

    I generally use song lyrics. I couldn't think of any that would fit in the number of characters allowed so here we are.

    As a teen I was into Wicca and came up with the name due to several circumstances. Aradia shows up in several myths and has been used in Wiccan books.

    "Magliocco suggests that the legends surrounding this figure, known as Aradia, Arada or Araja."

    "The Romanian historian of religion Mircea Eliade also noted that Arada, along with Irodiada, was a name used for a Romanian folkloric Queen of the Fairies, whom he believed was a "metamorphosis of Diana"."

    "Aradia has become an important figure in Wicca as well as some other forms of Neo-Paganism. Some Wiccan traditions use the name "Aradia" as one of the names of the Great Goddess, Moon Goddess or "Queen of the Witches"

    Silvermoon was because a favorite character of mine n a D&D novel was called Goldmoon. I prefer silver to gold so I used that instead.

    I have just used it ever since as a net handle/gaming tag/email etc.
