I'm not good with an alias, but I should really get one. So here I am.

Character name from a short story I'm writing. I don't publish, I just write for fun, so no worries about anybody making the connection. Plus, I think it has a nice ring to it, and it's different to every other alias I use online.

Just used the Keepass random username generator to get something, mostly to avoid anyone trying to discover who I am.

I'm not very creative  ;D

Good question. I like to dance. That's about as much relation there is to me. I also was trying to avoid picking anything that was related to me, so I decided to go with something so lame that there was no way I would want to use it on a clear net site where my anonymity wasn't as important. Thus, I went about choosing a name that a 13 year old might pick for their AIM screenname.

No one on AIM by that name, but hilariously enough there is someone on twitter who goes by you handle. Guess twitter is the new AIM for the kiddies. Makes me feel old :(

I wanted something with a ring that was nothing like any other screen name I use other places.. this one just came to me really quickly.  I like it because it ties you and me together, we fly together in bliss :)

It's my real life last name. It said user name so I put my name.

I just look around whenever I feel like using something that is not habitual.
I was with my roommate who happens to be an Asian with a Canadian passport
So I guess he's the one taking the fire when the cops show up at our door :-\  :-X

I already have used all my good ideas on other names for other accounts so I just chose something short and easy.

I couldn't think of anything I would remember that I haven't already used on other sites, plus I was watching the RDJ Holmes movie.

has nothing to do with who I am in RL.
My name isn't david and I am not really a gnome.. I know, disappointing right?
The real david the gnome is dead now. So I try to carry on his legacy.

In a desperate struggle to choose an alias I've never used before I remembered reading about Heracles when deciding whether or not to read Plato's Symposium. "Knows" just happened to fit onto the end, I don't know why - it just popped into my head.

Anyhow, it turns out there's a machine called the "Heracles Nose" which is a laboratory smell analyzer. So...
