What's in a username?

My passwords are generally 12 to 16 characters long, includes some caps and some numbers. 
Where some people make big mistakes are shorter passwords that are related somehow to their user names. 

I had a violent life. Billy the Klubb was a name I earned when I lived in Las Vegas. A Nazi Skinhead had come up behind me and smacked me in the right side of my face with a sawed off handle end of an aluminum bat. When I hit the ground he beat me with it for a bit. Broke some of my teeth pretty good and left me with some decent bruising. Nothing too serious. I ended up running into him later and took him down. I also took his club and returned his kindness. I had that club for years until I met my wife. I haven't been violent for a little over ten years now. I hold onto the name to remind me where I've been, what I've done, and that I'm not longer there.

Xuan and I are on our sixth doggie. One was named Bobo. She was deaf and clung to me every day since we got her when she was poor. When I first became disabled and home all day she was literally on my arm minute by minute. When we put her to sleep at 16 I still have my moments of regret, but worse (back then) was that I lost the creature that loved me and needed me. After she was gone I would think myself to sleep, often in tears, mentally searching the cosmos for her.
In one of my other posts I mentioned writing stories of our doggies as if they were Hogan's Heroes, tunneling under here to escape Sergeant Xuan. After Bobo was gone, i mostly quit, but did try writing about Starship Commander Cosmic Bobo cruising the universe looking for love.
Thus the name CosmicBobo

Haebar was a password that was issued to me back in the mid-90's that I could never forget. So when I decided to join a forum or website many years ago, all I could think of for a username was Haebar, so I used it thinking that I could always go back and change it. Not so! So, in order to maintain consistency, I continued to use the name for most logins. So mine is a random array of letters that came to be my username. Interestingly enough, googling the word Haebar, I found that it was a Japanese military hospital during WWII. It is infamous in history as the place where many Japanese nurses jumped off a cliff to their deaths rather than become prisoners to the American forces. Also, there is a group of friends in New England that call themselves HAE for "Half Assed Expeditions". They get together every year of so to go on outrageously extreme winter backpacking trips in the Appalachian mountains. They are known to partake of the weed and their name for one of the hand rolled cigarettes is a "HAEbar". Go figure...

Great thread. Stories are always great to hear.
