I liked Pirates at the time, and thought it was a bit of a conundrum. You know, like saying Seargant Soldier.
It's just meant to be kind of wierd.

Xaio is a mixed-up version of the chinese "Xiao" (meaning Short/Small).
When I was young I figured the mixed up version would mean "large" and used it since i was almost 60 cm higher that the rest in my grade.

The "30" part? Xaio was already taken on runescape...

Doesn't really mean anything. I have a very common Norwegian surname, so I took that and replaced a few letters, added a few letters, and here we are.

I use it in a lot of games where you can choose your gender because the "-ko" suffix is feminine in Japanese (I started out with JRPGs, as that probably implies).

It's a name I came up with on the spur of the moment many, many years ago now... damn I feel old.

Jon is obviously a shortening of my first name. Proverbial really came from whenever people use a popular saying and say something like "I'm sitting on the proverbial fence," which implies that the fence is in fact not real but a figure of speech and also that it has become an object of common reference and/or the source of a proverb.

So I guess my name literally means that I am well known and important enough to be the subject of at least one proverb, which in itself is ironic because I keep myself to myself. So yeah, enjoy your useless fact.

It's a crack at the adventurer trope in MMOs and the like. You may think that you mean something to that community you just saved from marauding orcs, but really you're just another nameless face to them. I'm adventurer #2,626. The number is my favorite number twice, side by side.

Very loosely translated from Latin

Spirit of the hero.

Its a deviation of my original online avatar name of Viroodiem, which again loosely translated from latin means Hero of the day, or Disposable hero.

Mine came from an old "Far Side" comic. There was an alien with a pet alien, and he was having the pet do tricks. One of them was "Xorph!" I liked the sound of it and it's what I've been using since.

Well... I like cacti a lot, and I'm interested in psychology. I had a conversation about the two with a friend who ended up saying I had a cacti complex. It just went from there.
