What is it with some people?
I love my user name on here. I don't really think it describes me at all, I don't think it really means anything at all... bar the thought behind coming up with it... but it's just quite random, and I love it for that reason.
But why do people often have really, really crappy user names? And oddly enough, they always turn out to be crap writers if they have a BoRiNg user name.
Perhaps:
You need a name to stand out. Something to get you recognised. So, instead of really thinking hard about a cool name, you just steal something from a band/wrestler/sexual position, and then capitalise every other letter. Stands out then, doesn't it?
GrIx ThRaVeS
And then you have people that seem to believe that putting character next to the name make it more interesting too. No it doesn't. You just look like a mong.
<[(~--GrIx-ThRaVeS--~)]>
Then of course, when you still discover your name is still as boring as ever, you try to make it "clever", by changing letters to symbols that look like letters. Not clever. Boring, and pathetic.
<[(~--§®!×-†#®ÅV˧™--~)]>
Oh dear.
It doesn't mean you're original, creative, or anything. Really. Any idiot can go into character map and see a symbol that looks remotely like a letter.
But it will continue, because nobody has the creativity to come up with a decent damn name.
Ah well.

i now have a witty and original name
I admit I ripped mine from Red Dwarf (name of Listers fav band) I took it for 3 reasons... 1) It's paying homage to my favourite programme ever created. 2) It flows off the tongue quite nicely 3) I'd been watching Red Dwarf for 4 hours before I signed up :-D
You're right. It's Pingouin.
My username sucks
Doesn't show anything about me and I hardly ever type in capitals.
Meh

I know too :)
My name was just random and it just stuck. InspectorIguana actually has a story behind it.. Infact, it had stories to do with it.
But that is another story and shall be told another time.
And no one cares anyway :D

Well if it wasnt from mortal kombat i wouldnt worry, i went to a lord of the rings site and found out my orc name was glunguno. Perhaps you could change your name to what it spits out?
