Well, in the Poser/art community, I've always been elizabyte, a play on my middle name (Elizabeth, obviously). In web design circles, I go by Alicorna, which is the name of my business. Alicorna is Italian for unicorn, with a specifically feminine gender (the masculine would be "alicorno"). And in talker (MUD) communities, I'm generally known as Duchess, uhm.... just because. I think it had something to do with the mad duchess in Alice in Wonderland, and also something to do with the Duchess of York (Fergie), but it's been so many years I honestly can't remember the specifics of why I chose it. And, of course, I do go by my own (first) name, which is Bonni (yes, that's it, yes, that's how it's spelled ;-). I generally sign posts and emails with all lower case letters because that's how I sign my hand-drawn pictures/paintings, and I've done so since about 1978 (long before it was trendy). bonni <-- Like that. ;-)
