How did you pick your lichess username?

@ThingsFallApart Funny, I feel the same when I play 10+0.

My name is just a black metal vocalist, Nattramn, plus M&Ms, because I like chocolate, kinda silly, but original.
I have a dog named Louie. When I signed on to Lichess he was 11 years old.
I was in the military; reveille was a wake-up call. The knight is my favorite piece for its symbolism. Having just reawakened to playing after a long quiet, the chosen name represents my sort of phoenix, if you will.
@Biellafan I live in that city and used to play in that club years ago, it would be great to play together sometimes!
I picked phnx, for phoenix... Since I haven't played chess for almost 10 years (few games now and then don't count :p ), and I thought it's symbolic. :D
For some reason, I was thinking of my favourite movie (Django Unchained) when I created my account, so I chose my favourite character from that movie as username.
The letters a e i l n r s t are important in competitive Scrabble. You want to save some of them for next turn so that you'll have higher odds of making a valuable word, instead of just using all your good letters right away. Starline (or entrails or latrines, etc) is a good mnemonic device for remembering these letters because they're the eight-letter English word with the most anagrams: http://new.wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=starline&t=500&a=n
