estiroseMy turn for the nickname meme:
I've gone by a few nicknames on the net over the years.
Angel Island: Used almost exclusively in Earth: Final Conflict fandom. Had fond memories of a school trip to Angel Island and so when I had to get a nickname for Philosophysphere, I used it. Got mistaken often for a Poltergeist: The Legacy fan often, so eventually dropped it.
EstiRose: A little more complex name, created as a nickname for an Earth: Final Conflict RPG. Esti, in Esperanto, means "To Be" (it's the infinitive), and Rose is short for Rosemary, my nickname in that RPG. Therefore, "EstiRose" means "To Be Rose", which was very true when I was writing a post in-character. (Esti is pronounced "Esstee" or "S.T." – my first and middle initials!) I signed up for an Ezboard account under that name, and later just ended up using it for everything. This one is still in use.
RavenHide: Used exclusively on RangerBoard. I didn't want to use EstiRose again, preferring to be more anonymous there. The name sounded good, popped into my head, and so I used it. Used every so often when posting to Rangerboard.
