Origin/Meaning of usernames

I got mine from a joke (around the Boatymcboatface time) which made me laugh. I can’t remember the joke but the name stuck in my head! (I thought it a hoot ?). I’m pretty unimaginative thinking up clever names myself and it was all I could think of when I joined!

I sometimes ponder over the meaning of posters' usernames and thought it might be an interesting topic for a thread.
My own "maydonoz" is the Turkish word for parsley, to reflect my many years living in Turkey, previously and also enjoy cooking so use many herbs, including parsley.
Some of you may wish to share your username meaning too.

How interesting!

Mine is the name of a blind snake, a character in a book my eldest had when she was little. The snake lived with creatures called hairy eyefuls who were so busy trying to see everything beautiful that they saw nothing so the little snake showed them how to slow down and appreciate life.
