Mine was something I came up with around my Senior year in high School as an online gaming name when I was working at Blockbuster Video. Zuit Suits were back in style for Prom at the time, which I wore of course.
The "Kurdle" part was just something I came up with for whatever reason. I think I just thought it sounded good at the time for a screen name. I just always stuck with it.
Real name is Jake or Jacob

Just saw this thread, thanks to Keith67!
I use "Vorpal" in front of almost all my Video Game characters names like (World of Warcraft). I love Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and the term "Vorpal" comes from a magical enchantment on a bladed weapon, that has a magical "Chance on Hit" effect when a high number on the d20(20 Sided Dice) is rolled, it will then sever the head of the unfortunate victim.
It is also derived from a poem titled "Jabberwocky" written by Lewis Carroll in his 1871 novel 'Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There'...
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!..."
"He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum gree,
And stood awhile in thought..."
"One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back..."
Soooo yeahh Epic stuffs!!

I named myself after the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate who returned (however briefly) the Roman Empire to paganism from Catholicism. It's a cool moniker.

I chose the username at a time while I was heavily into identifying as a Humanist. "Humanism," is a non-religious philosophy/world view for people such as myself that don't belong to any major religion.
That said, I don't really obsess about it anymore, even if I still consider myself one on paper. If I could do it over again, I'd probably pick a different username. Lol.
The "1287" is my birth month and year. 12/87.

jbuck! Really?! Wow! That's crazy!  I mean, obviously, I do too. But still! My buddy is also a Humanist chaplain and recently released a book called "Humanism from the Heart." It's great to see someone who shares a similar view point though! |

Quote:Indeed. jbuck, I work in a large hospital chain in Southeast Michigan. They celebrate various religious holidays. I recently sort of won a small victory when I suggested having World Humanist Day being recognized by my employer. It is now being evaluated to see if it will be added to the list of holidays celebrated by team members and patients. It's a start! World Humanist Day is in June. Edited by Humanist1287
