Where'd you get your user name?

[lettered]

I woke up today and thought it was the 23rd. Yes, I was excited about Mole Day. I was prepared to celebrate celebrate things like Avogadro and stoichiometry. Now all I have to be happy about is avocados and Elvis Stojko.

Today I enjoyed this post (scroll to the end), in which yhlee lists reasons why she loves BtVS/AtS characters. One of them is, "Why I love Angelus: it may never occur to him that in all the ways he destroys people it shows how strong they really are." Go read and miss your shows. *sniff*

Lastly, stultiloquentia and I recently discovered that we'd spoken online four years before under different names. That made me wish I hadn't changed my nickname things so much out of sheer boredom. The user name tkp is from the Kora Personality, which wouldn't fit on lj. Kora is another name for Persephone. I was having some twisted, uninteresting thoughts about the woman who spent half her time being queen of the dead and raped by the damned, and the other half frolicking in the flowers with Mama and nymphs. Anyway, I'm guessing this has been a topic of conversation before, so sorry if you've been over it before, but I've been wondering:

Where'd you get your user name?

Even if it seems obvious, I'd love to know. Also: why Joan?

Bisi is one of those names a kid gets when their parents are running out of inspiration - oh well, here's another kid, it's all good -

lol! Just becomes too much bother after a while, eh?

But don't be too sure about it being impossible to mispronounce. By-see? Bi-sigh? Bees-I? Sometimes people misprounounce "Joe."

ah but whats in a name really ??
I gave my eldest child an unusual name in that there are very few Mallory's around but is she grateful. Bah she wants to have a common name like "Jessica, Ashley or Amber" cos you can buy cool stationary for these names & everybody can spell them. I ask you what was I thinking all these years ago.I picked an easy net name for myself & like Terrilyn only got seconds to consider it so I used some of my name (Mel)and something that was easy to spell. Yep boring thats me...............
Besides every combination with Buffy & Angel I wanted to use when I signed up for some of the lists was taken.
And dont despair people who came late to the Buffy/Angel party , it took me until the shows were over to catch on. I watched the original Buffy movie & thought the TV show would be more of the same crap so never tuned in. It took the teenager with the uncommon name to get me interested in them last year & then I became an addict. Books, posters, dvds, you name it I have them. Wonder if therapy is too late ???
By the way tkp, love your new fic. You rock !!!
