What Does Your Username Mean?

It's interesting seeing some names here, but instead of asking each and everyone of you, I reckon this is a much better way.
So I'll start:
My HS friend Christine once gave me a nickname The Jackster (I am Jacky, by the way), and so I am dajackstah. How awesome is that?

Mine is made from the first two letters of my first, middle and last names.
JOshua NI*****, HO*****
It's more mysterious if you don't know my full name.

That's sad. That's like saying you only have 1/9th of his firepower.

Oh man, my username has a looooooong story behind it.
Condensed version: It originated in me playing this game online for almost 6 years,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infantry_(computer_game)
. That's pretty much it. Most of my accounts, passwords, etc are derived from the game.

My name is derived from the only point in space where general relativity and all of known physics fail, and also happens to be where god divides by zero.
aka the singularity of a black hole.

Well, we can't actually be sure that the systems break down, because we have no measured data from the "infinity point".
It's theorized by various people that bad shit goes down, but experimentally, for all we know, physics works just fine in there.
There I go, criticizing someone with a username that actually makes sense....

I just like seeing the contrast between "mmmpotatoes" and "The Infinity Point."

My username is derived from two different Utada Hikaru songs, "Kremlin Dusk" and "Hotel Lobby". That's pretty much it.
Also, I wonder how many mirrors are in the Kremlin...

Fear not the Wolpertinger...

Well, my name derives from the ancient Germanic word Wolper and the Latin root Tinger.
Here's an etymological breakdown
Wolper (Ancient Germanic) = f**king (English Translation)
Tinger (Latin Root) = Awesome (English Translation)
Thus Wolpertinger translates into... f**king Awesome.
The Wolpertinger itself is a monster that dwells in the Dark Forest of Germany, feeding off the local population of animals in the dead of the night. The monster, as can be seen in my avatar picture, is half-duck, half-rabbit, half-deer, half-vampire. He lurks in Germany, where his all powerful intellect and magical abilities lay dormant until they are needed, such as in World War II, when he sided with the Allies and led the Russians to Berlin solely with his magical power. That's a Wolpertinger. Wiki him if you want more info.

Partial Lyrics to "Hotel Lobby:
"Meet me in the hotel lobby
Everybody's looking lonely
Watch me as I walk in slowly
When your eyes meet mine
It's in the mirrors of the hotel lobby"
Long ago I wanted the username "Kremlindusk" but it was always taken, so I just started using kremlinmirrors.
