I love irony.  I always wanted to become a DJ (though I know it will never happen).  When I created the name, I knew of a few DJs that adds "ica" to the end of a word (e.g. Prophetica).  Thus, I made up Ironica.

Making a DJ name even though you know you won't be a DJ is ironic, isn't it? ;)

Freshman year of college the other girls on my hall decided that everyone needed nicknames. Two different ones stuck on me. To-To (pronounced "Toe Toe") and Toriquah.
To-To came first and was supposed to be temporary, as it came from the first syllable of my name.
Toriquah came about because someone decided I needed a gangster sounding nickname.
So, naturally, I decided to stick them together.

Professor is a nickname given to me by my grandpa, in reference to the Absent-minded Professor, who was a mixture of brilliance and scatter-brained-ness, similar to myself. The story of where Alstad came from is much longer, and would probably be better answered by my forebears. The lack of a space between the two, unlike my colleague the "other" Prof, is just a stylistic preference.

Underwood is simply my last name, and I am a teacher.  But "Teacher Underwood" sounded dumb.  And "Professor Underwood" sounded too collegiate, while I only teach high school.  So I decided to go with "Prof Underwood" and call it a day.

My typical gamer name is "Sir Pent" which has a more interesting story.  The "Sir" part recalls knights and chivalry, which I try to live up to.  The "Pent" recalls controlling emotions, which I also try to do.  And combining them sounds like serpent which I actually take from Jesus' instruction to be wise as serpents in the book of Matthew.

First initial in my name is C, and my last name is Zepp, shortened from Zeppelin (just kidding). Wish I made up a cooler username and had a funny reason behind it.

Complete lack of imagination. My initials are MJB, and when I first signed up the user names EmJayBee through EmJayBee82 were already taken.

Koalas are awesome and since I'm part of Fortress Alstad I figured I might as well be the king.

I play a lot of sports and my initials are CJS.

I have changed my general online name to CJStupe because it sounds cooler I think and my last name is Stupienski so it kind of just stuck.

White and gold are my two favorite colors.  Gold is valuable, and white is purity, and the number seven represents perfection since man's number is 666 each time  one away from perfection, and so my name was born.  I remember TKP (might have been a member cannot remember (pleads the fifth...)  Redemption rocks, aka The Karazy Vicepresident used to call me wag for short.

Well redemptioncousin has the same last name as me which is probably who you are thinking of and he's my brother...and redmeption101 is my cousin but he has a different last name.
