Default Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?

Karibu is similar (by outfit) to cariboe which is a common animal in Finland. It also has some resemblance to my real life name. Furthermore, one of my working colleagues called me "Karibu" in my ex-working place, where it was my unofficial nick. Plus I like the name so I decided to use it in here also.
