User:Nneonneo/name

How did I get this username? Long story, and I don't really remember the details -- I chose it years and years ago.

Back in 1997 or so, I was bored one day and thought I should sign up an account with Yahoo, but was stymied at my inability to choose a username. Some keyboard bashing later, I came up with "uugy". So, uugy@yahoo.com was born. Of course, I totally did not like that username, so eventually, I chose the similar (but more English-like) "nneo". Sadly, it was taken, so I just duplicated it and -- voila -- my present username. At least, that's how I think it got to be.

By the way, it has nothing to do with the Matrix, and I, for some reason, prefer it spelt out letter-by-letter rather than pronounced (though various people have pronounced it "n-neon-neo" or "n-neo-n-neo").
