Where do people's forum names come from?

[vor_lord]

Lois McMaster Bujold wrote a series of SF (well, really space opera) novels about Miles Vorkosigan (and family members). My name is derived from this very enjoyable series, where the aristocracy has the prefix 'Vor' to their names.

There has only been one person that recognized the reference in all the years I've used it.

I think it's time for something new but I can't think of anything good that isn't taken :(
