How did you pick your lichess username?

I choose this name, and use the same name on chess24.com and chess.com because I am a scientist of sorts; I am an Assistant Professor of Biology and have a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, with a variety of ongoing research interests (which tend to limit my chess playing and studying).

The name also matches that of a blog I used to maintain (http://scienceonthesquares.blogspot.com/) and my current youtube channel (www.youtube.com/channel/UC64kRWvQsUoqOOq6hHxk-Ew), all chosen for the above reasons.
I don't remember if I posted but ill post now chessanalyst is my first and last name.
1. I like Bongos (instrument + animal)
2. DR Congo is a cool place
3. They rhyme

Arise: BONGOinCONGO
I use mine because it's a constriction of my full name as well as a (admittedly very strained) latin pun for 'I play'.
I took mine because of my biggest issue in Chess: I play fast but wrong, just like a Dumb Robot would do.
#67 Surely "Ludo" is "I play"?

My name is that of an old Gallic God, which some readers may remember from the Tales of Asterix...
