[Athley]

Its my husbands first name and I don't know anyone else who has this name.

Mine is too common a name to use 'Chris'

[jump79]

No big mystery behind mine, I blanked out when asked for a username so just picked a random word like 'jump'... which I liked at the time as it made me totally anonymous. And 79 was my street # at the time.

[gen2]

King or Emperor would have sounded too grand and Jackass is too common. Fairy would just have been unthinkable!

[-Zorro-]

[Carakeel]

Cara = Gaelic (Irish) for friend ... as I am Irish
keel = from "keeping an even keel", as in keeping things balanced as in Buddhist philosophy.

Carakeel - also reminds me of the affix on one of my Irish Wolfhounds' pedigree - the affix was Carrokeel
