The Dink Network

I have seen a lot of interesting user names on the Board and was curious as to their origins. Some of them are fairly self-explanatory, like a first name, but others are more cryptic. How did you pick your user name? What, if anything, does it mean?

(I did a search for this topic under "General Dink Discussion" and "Off-Topic" and couldn't find anything. *Oops* if this has been posted before ).
