William Jennings Bryan, a lawyer and presidential hopeful, went by the nickname "Silver Tongued Orator." Though, this was also the same lawyer who was against teaching Evolution in schools during the infamous trial here in the states.
The name sounded cool, and since I had joined the debate team, I increased the value of the metal, switched it to Latin, and made it one word.
Since then, I came to the realization that the name could be considered a might bit naughty. Ah well, I've come this far already.

Mine's from an article I found about making a linux-powered zombie badger. You can find it here: http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040405/badger.shtml
It is my year 12 jersey name (well inconsistent actually) but i like to say that short phrase often or somehow induce my friends to say it with my funny attitude.
I also made the 'e' in it an 'a' to add my own personal spark to it.
Though i feel shamed that no one has tried to ask why i spelt it 'wrong'.

Broady is part of my last name.
Brio, as in Doctor N. Brio from Crash Bandicoot.
Plus it's alliteration.

I was reading a newspaper when at a relatives house, and in the word games section there was an anagram of discotuna. I couldn't figure out what the actual word was, then when it came time to getting Xbox Live, it was the first thing that came to mind. I have since refused to attempt the anagram, to preserve the magic.
nope, cuz i'm one tooTheMatt said:
I like heavy metal, added the extra m to make sure i can get it on other occasions.
I play 5 string bass and also I hide in small shrubby areas waiting for people to ride past in horse and carts whilst wearing a black mask with eye holes and a black cape.
Somehow at concerts I always manage to get right up near the stage...so my friends nicknamed me "strength of 7 men" and the rest is history!
Mine is pretty simple.
I wanted LockN'Load,but someone had already taken it...
So that night,the film 'Lock,Stock And Two Smoking Barrels' was on TV,after watching it,a lightbulb just clicked in my head,why not LockN'Stock?.
And no one had it,so I just stuck with that.
As for xbox live,my gamertag is SillyMrFluffles.
I can be a silly person,and do silly things at times,and I also have long fluffy hair,so SillyMrFluffles fitted perfectly!

It was decreed on me by the World Wide Web Weaver after I took my vison quest deep in the dangerous lands of 4chan and getting in touch with my MSDOS ancestors.
Or like most people I just picked it out.

I had gotten mine while I was in the military. It was given to me by my squad-mates. It was my call sign. It refers to the Slain God, sometimes referred to as the Divine King, evolved out of the early hunter/warrior cults that existed before the agrarian societies.
In the earliest tribal communities the hunter/warrior held the highest social status. He was honored as the most bravest and cunning member of the tribe and chosen to be its leader. The well being of this individual affected the well being of the whole tribe. Such beliefs are predominant in the Arthurian legends of northern Europe, where the king and land become one. This also is reflected in the southern European mythos of Rex Nemorenss, and King of the Woods.
The appearances of the Slain God have taken on various aspects throughout the ages. His images can be seen in the Jack-in-the-Green, the Hooded Man, the Hanged Man of the Tarot, the Lord of Vegetation, the Harvest, and the free untamed aspect of the forest.
Perhaps the best image of the Slain God is symbolized in the Green Man. He is the spirit of the Land manifested in all plant forms. He is both the procreative power as well as the seed of life. The Slain God bridges the gap between the two worlds. This is why he is frequently depicted as hanging from a tree; the tree symbolizes a bridge between the Underworld and heaven, for its roots are in the earth and its branches reach into the sky. The Slain God is one with both heaven and earth, and to be one with him is to be one with the Source of All Things.

Hmm...let's see...
Well, on Wikia (specifically Halopedia, Gruntipedia, etc) I went by ShadowyLeftHand to be sneaky around my then-boyfriend. I then used BeyondPerception as a sockpuppet on the IRC, which became a forum username as well. For my signature in a lot of places, I used the phrase:

Well...turns out, I mistyped it once on a forum I used the username on. I typed in, rather than "veil", "fail". So, the signature line was changed to:
Sometimes I capitalized the whole word "fail" within this. When my old AIM screenname died, I couldn't get BeyondPerception as a screenname, so I went with BeyondTheFail, because, AIM didn't just fail, it went BEYOND the level of fail it ever could. This became my current forum identity.
