I chose the name Diop in honor of the Sengalese scholar Cheik Anta Diop. He was a historian, cultural historian and anthropologist, and the director of the radiocarbon laboratory at the University of Dakar.

Hmmm. I chose this username because it slightly describes who I am.
I also chose it because..... I don't know.

[PiecesofAeris]

[BloodBathedAngel]

Normally, when I am on forums and mmorpg games (which I play alot of) I have usernames that I made up by creating names for anime chars I draw. The most commonly used is Sahimeru and Chiioko. But on a new forum, I needed a new idea, and I am a gothic, dark person. People always say I am such an angel, and they are proud of me but if I was an angel, I'd be covered in blood from all the times I have wronged someone or myself in any way, shape or form. So Blood bathed Angel is basically just my inner self, the angel who isn't an angel.

@ BloodBathedAngel You have been busy with this posting. Keep at it! You should post in explore and the writing forum.

[Tzela Vieed]

So, my username. One time, when I was buying a ferry ticket in Greece, I had to give my name. The word I saw printed on my ticket where my name should have been was ‘Vieed’, which bore so little resemblance to my actual name that I found it funny, and I thought it would make a good internet handle for some reason. And signing up here happened to be my first opportunity to use it.

The rest is a secret.

[Inzababa]

The name comes originally from Linbaba. A character (actually, the hero) in Shantaram.

Lin means "penis" and Baba is a way to show respect in India. I also love that word because it means lots of different things in lots of different cultures.

Anyway, Respectable Penis, I thought, was very funny

This name is one that I used for online gaming in a MMORPG.

When I made new characters, I decided to keep the "baba" theme and simply play around with that.

Inzababa was one of my other characters / avatars and is a play of words that stems from what I described above, and French.

In is English
Za is how a french person might spell The
Baba in french (as in "dans le baba") means trouble.

Inzababa is therefore inthetrouble

though that's just one interpretation / meaning of that name.

I decided to keep it seeing as Linbaba was taken by Gregory David Roberts.
