burntcopperOkay, query. We all picked our usernames due to reasons that are often completely incomprehensible to most people. I only have burntcopper because I needed a new domain for other stuff (back when i was kabukivice) and, as was the trend at the time, your random domain was often two words smudged together, and i started playing with *random word* + *random metal*. burntcopper sounded better than burntsilver.
And then, a few years down the line, I got sick of kabukivice and in the search for a new username (the one I'd really like was taken on lj and is almost certainly taken everywhere else due to it being a very common word and naming device), thought 'why not use the one you've got the domain for? relatively unique and you don't mind it.' (it's almost completely unique, except for the bloke on myspace who managed to grab the gmail addy before I did)
