What is the story behind you Username?

[Kajin]

My cousin and I were writing a play loosely based on FF7 and the main character was a magic user specializing in wind magic. My cousin suggested the name of Kajin for the character, because at the time he believed it meant wind. In actuality it means something akin to beautiful woman, but I didn't find that out until about three years after I decided I liked it enough to adopt it as my nickname.

I thought it was funny, so I decided to keep using it.

Fey-Lynn, though the - is lost in the maelstrom of Alphanumeric dominance of naming conventions and practicality of needing to type it every time I sign in to something.

2. attuned to the supernatural; clairvoyant; visionary
3. chiefly ( Scot ) fated to die; doomed
4. chiefly ( Scot ) in a state of high spirits or unusual excitement, formerly believed to presage death

[Old English fæge marked out for death; related to Old Norse feigr doomed, Old High German feigi ]

Word Origin & History

fey
"of excitement that presages death," from O.E. fæge "doomed to die," also "timid;" and/or from O.N. feigr, both from P.Gmc. *faigjo- (cf. M.Du. vege, M.H.G. veige "doomed," also "timid," Ger. feige "cowardly"). Preserved in Scottish. Sense of "displaying unearthly qualities" and "disordered in the mind (like one about to die)" led to modern ironic sense of "affected."

This accomplished what I was looking for in that meaning.
Whimsical, mystical, perceptive, dark, tragic, surreal, unearthly, shy, ties to death and magic.

Lynn is much less interesting, I felt it gave a sort of feminine and intellectual quality to the name and threw it on to round out the overall sound.

The components were together designed for a specific roleplaying character initially but over time I adopted it for myself as I outgrew previous screen names. Now it's sort of my mainstay when making online characters.
