How did you pick your username?

I've been using sturmhauke since ancient times. Back when I was a teenager in the BBS days, I spelled it "stormhawk". I listened to a lot of heavy metal, and there was also a ship in the old Thrawn Star Wars trilogy called the Stormhawk. I thought it sounded cool so I started using it. I occasionally used other "element-animal" type names, but that one became my main.

When the internet started taking off, I discovered that there were other "stormhawks" out there. So I changed the spelling to fake-German. I even threw some stupid umlauts in there at one point (you know, like Mötorhead or Queensrÿche), but that was too hard to type.
