Sometimes Smell as Bad

There's really nothing in that title. I was checking out that Shakespearean classic, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Or something like that; I've only heard it a couple times. Names of course don't always smell that great, like the name Brunhild, but don't lash out because your name's Brunhild. It would rock, to have a name like that.
Speaking of names--where do y'all get your usernames? I suppose some people would just use their normal names online, but for me it was more enticing to think up a new one. "Ahaneen" isn't any anagram or summat of the sort. She's a character of mine. (For those of you who don't give a shit about my characters, go on to the next paragraph.) She's the Baraness, which is the equivalent of queen in her country, but is scared to death of torture because she underwent two months of it when she was sixteen and won't perform it upon her worst enemy...or so she thinks.
My last name is a contraction of two German words that when translated mean "Radiant Black Bird." I like to play with the idea that one of my ancestors was a headman or a mage who was cast out because they practiced illegal but strong witchcraft. "witchful thinking," pardon the pun.
Anagrams are my favorite types of mixed around names. I'm trying to avoid posting my real name, but an anagram of it is "Want A Mr. Beard?" If any of you have a story behind your usernames or screen names or anything like that, be sure to let me know! I love to hear about that stuff!
TFATF!!
