It was a week less than thirteen years ago, when RL me finaly got a haircut after long long while. And released of its own weight, the hair popped up in little springs in all directions from the scull. It wouldn’t have any consequences that it wasn’t She that started laughing, with scissors still in her hands, saying the name of that plant. And yes, mirror witnessed it was quite like dandelion’s head, only difference I was black instead of white.

Soon enough, serbian maslačak (pronaunced something like maslachack) turned to french dandelion (it iriginate from dent-de-lion dent) and got its additional l. Double l is sexy :p And, as it will show up in the following years, it is good thing to e,liminate most of the nutrition and botany sites when doing an ego-surf. And it really looks good in my hand-writing.

Yes, I did some of my signatures with that name. And as soon as internet came, it was an username to use. All the way to coming to second life. Those freaks asked for my last name! And I didn’t have one. So I just picked from the list (ok, it was not “just picked”, it took me more time than going through Orientation Island, checking many of them, writing them, pronouncing to feel the sound of it. The same sort of lunnacy Mygdala describes on her blog.) But Kimban now it is. It goes fine.

And non-capitalized d? Well, I must admit I was surprised when I saw capitalized names in SL. Usernames was always low-case. So I sticked to that. Recently I found that first lowercase first name was feniks Stone (registered 11/25/2002). Hardly that I thought about that in the moment of registration but lowercase goes more immersionistic. Or is it just another of my trippin’s?

Burro: I’ve always loved the word (just makes me smile, especially said in a faux spanish/Mexican accent) and it’s sort of a net nickname now.

Head: This comes from Head Gardener in another internet life.

Antfarm: Simply because I love ants… not in an inappropriate way, you understand.

There ya go

Actually, I do have another Av that I created just for RPing (after several tries, I ended up at, and stayed in, The Wastelands) whose name I chose deliberatly to sound cool & PI-like (well, in my head anyhoo), Ryne Beck.

Neva was the only Russian-sounding name in the list, or at least, one that I could stand, and of course relates to the Neva River, I used to live on the bank of the river looking across to the Hermitage in Leningrad/St. Petersburg when I went to university.

Urizenus named himself for Blake’s Urizenus I believe.
