This has probably been asked before but I wanted to add another layer/an alternative.

So, I ask, where did your username/pseudonym/nickname originate from? What’s the meaning behind it?

Or alternatively, which is the most creative/interesting nickname origin you have come across?

    It’s from my favourite Shakespeare play, Much Ado About Nothing.

    Beatrice (on the subject of getting married):

    Would it not grieve a woman to be overmaster’d with a piece of valiant dust? To make an account of her life to a clod of wayward marl?

    It doesn’t make that much sense as a username for me, because the piece of valiant dust would be the husband and I’m a woman. But I thought it sounded nice.
