I read this story in a book of fairy tales years ago and became fascinated with it on account of a) it's kind of awesome, b) it's fucking weird.
I used this as a "backup username" for a while but did very little with it, so it seemed like an obvious choice when I decided to change usernames after my spark ignited. Especially since it refers to a female character anyway.
That is a question steeped in richness and existential depth. One may as well ask, "do universals exist as real and distinct entities?", "how many roads must a man walk?", or "what's the deal with airline food?" Truly, these questions enhance and stretch the human consciousness, and we are all better for them.
My evolutionary methods of procreation and self-defense both involve ripping my body in half and dying in a pool of my own guts. Insane seems a good word.

Back when I was 14 years old and just getting into Akira Kurosawa films, I was going to register as "Kuwabatake Sanjuro" but it was just over the character limit, so I went with namelesssamurai instead and once I registered on websites with a larger character limit, it became thenamelesssamurai and then I just got attached to the name and have stuck with it for 13 years.
The current variant dates to when I was 18 going on 19. XIX is no longer accurate, but it has a good look to it
Eh, it's a story that can stand some retelling
Back when I signed onto Neopets (and inadvertently came in contact with Scientology??), I needed a name, so I picked one out of two things I thought sounded cool at the time: the medieval mace (though what I was actually thinking of was the spiked flail) and the name Yarrun from Yarrun Firetamer, a minor character from The Circle of Magic series, which I presume I was in the middle of reading at the time.
It takes on an increasing poignancy as I grow older. Yarrun Firetamer was a man of great pride who was confident in his ability to tame fires, driven by his envy towards the rich and famous. But there was a period of drought, which increased the number of fires, so he overextended himself keeping the entire region from burning to the ground, and died while failing to stop a fire. It always seems rather significant nowadays.
Viani was derived from Vorpy. I normally make usernames that 5 letters long and start with a V. I wanted V Annie, but would've come out like VAnnie (Rhymes with Fanny) so I went with a different spelling. Also a play on "V Any", as in Anything with a V"
Vorpy was the shortened version of my username Vorpal Evanescence.
Vorpal Evanescence was the Limit Break attack my character released in a now-lost game I made in RPG Maker XP, that allowed you to [Disintegrate] enemies so they could not regenerate and inflicts extreme damage to Jabber-typed enemies.
Tnophelia was a mispelling of Ophelia, a poem I read a long time ago.
I thought my name sounded cool when I was like 12. There is no meaning beyond that.
I don't really think that anymore but......... okay. I think probably even by the time I joined TVT I was getting kind of sick of the name actually. But since I used it there I figured I'd just use it on any tangentially related sites forever?
That and I never bothered thinking of a replacement username that I didn't already want to use elsewhere.

Mine's pretty transparent: It's from a Saki short story which I like very much. I also happen to like mustelids, so it suits me on a couple of levels.

Fairy tales are frequently quite bizarre. Take the tale of the seven pairs of iron shoes. That one is downright surreal.

bleeding in silver because
red hurts too much.
scarred over skin that
used to be infantile.
tearing apart my body to
keep my mind in a state of
disassociation. keeping
away the feelings until i
become reptile. honey
pouring from skin worn
from the days gone by, but
this is not eternal. just a
way to feed the monsters
taking over, if i let you see
me tomorrow, you will still
see the angel i’ll
always have in me.
