Uh, no, it doesn't, mariantonia.
It's a given nickname to me by my family as a young kid. Named after the character from that famous movie...oh, what's it called? I forget.

PassionF,
I agree, and leave it to me to write about a subject that may piss people off, but still, it had to be said. I mean, something like WileyCoyote isn't hard, even yours, PassionFlower is easy. I just wanted to express that creating a username that may be personally significant to you, may not be for others. (For instance using a high school nickname + your real initials + the address number on the street you grew up on....etc.) COME ON!!

I'm glad you wrote this. I wanted to but figured it would piss off people. But I add my voice to yours. It's just not sensible to pick a user ID that's difficult to spell and completely un-sayable. It's really hard to remember how to spell those strange ones. Sometimes a person will just not comment cause they have no idea how to spell the person's user ID.
