My entire internet career, I was never able to come up with a handle that stuck. I always had a different, random, nooby name for everything. After a while, I realized that
1. My last name belongs to about 5 people in the entire world, thus it's pretty unique, thus It would never be taken
2. Most people IRL (except for really close friends) call me by my last name
3. Minimalism is so in right now
And thus, "Elbirn" became my name for pretty much everything. Attempts to come up with a better handle were made and quickly discarded due to lack of originality or ridiculousness. (Examples, Draxx, Orphaeon. The latter I still use for "fantasy" settings, the former is used by everyone for everything. Snore.)
