monikers

I notice nobody on the boards calls me by my real name (Ellie, if you didn't want to move your eyes over to that column on the left and look). Which isn't that surprising, since I go by terra. I guess if I wanted people to call me Ellie I could always change my username to Ellie. Which would be logical. But ... weird. It's like those people who have their screennames as their Firstname Lastname (I know two). It makes so much sense ... but it just seems odd.

So my question is, why'd you choose your name? (I'm particularly curious about Dagger IX1 and SomeGuy. :-P) And would you prefer people to call you by that username, or your real name? (Neither of these questions apply to people like Ben. Or James.)

The reason I chose terra was because I once used the name "terra dewrim" for a pen name, because it's an anagram of "dreamwriter." Which I thought was clever ... at the time. Anyway, so I wouldn't go around calling myself "terra dewrim" anymore, but "terra" sort of fits. Plus, it carries all the prestige of the lovely half-Esper FF character. (Though I like Rydia better.) For some reason I don't like it capitalized as much, though people do that all the time and I don't mind or anything. I just like the way the word "terra" looks.

Well, it's time to start studying for p.chem. Oh yeah, I changed my introduction to that little banner. I think it's a little better than the sentence I had there before ... but not by much.
