Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
I DungeonMastered games a couple of decades ago and people had a hard time coming up with names. I cringed at hearing people use Conan or Drizzit. (I know, strange for a guy named Gandalf)
Anyway I would tell people to write out their full name, and maybe the well known one they wanted to use, then scramble the syllables around. It usually generated a couple of very unique fantasy-world names which still felt personal and "themselves". And often had a feel of a race or class to them.
So I often used Ganthony the Wizard, Ardony the Ranger, Gardell the Paladin, Garker the Merchant or Thief, etc etc. They all felt very personally named because they were my name just pieced together different.
