1) It sounded awesome.
2) The reference was to obscure literature(I got it from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress) which is both cool because I like the intellectual reference and because it was not a well known enough character to make it difficult for me to register screen names. Unfortunately with the recent Sherlock Holmes movies my name has been popularized to a degree I dislike. But oh well, at least it's Stephen Fry, couldn't have asked for a more awesome actor to play Mycroft.
3) The character as it was described in Heinlein's TMIAHM was a very good description of myself. Very intelligent, prefers to spend all his time thinking, but is completely lazy with little desire to actually apply himself or prove any of his theories.

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone with the name Hallvard, are... are your parents actually from Skyrim?Hallvard Dovakiin said:
My name came from Robin Hobbs 'Tawny man' and 'Farseer Trilogy'. One of the Characters was called Fool, and I related to him...plus Im Blonde. Hence the name!
Ha, that's probably the best reason I've heard yet!Lord Beautiful said:
As for myself, it's from a song it is, a song by The Apartments famously covered by This Mortal Coil.
It's specific yet vague.
I usually prefer to just go by Tree but that was taken (even though I have never seen a post by this mysterious Tree).

A paradox is a logical statement or group of statements that lead to a contradiction or a situation which (if true) defies logic or reason, similar to circular reasoning.
I mainly remember the word from MGS 3 when you kill Ocelot.
The "x"es are the unfortunate result of all the other variations being used already

Well, when a day ends, things fall into the twilight hours of dusk. After dusk comes night, but the twilight soon returns as under another name, dawn.
I like the thought of twilight, something about the way it ushers in day and night. Plus, I think the sky looks the most beautiful during these hours, that strange "in-between" period.
I don't know how to describe it, but there's something poetic about the words "Day, dusk, night, and dawn".
So, that's why I picked my name. I use it, or some variation of the words "Dusk, day, dawn, night, nocturnal, diurnal, crepuscular". I like having a common theme among my usernames.
The twilight based usernames tend to run into some trouble when people mention a certain book series, however.

My username is a name i use for everything, type it in and all my stuff comes up on google.
The history behind it is that it is what my characters name would be in the pokemon world. His name would be proxima but because he is the leader of an organisation named Team Dimension he is called LeaderProxima

I've had this username since like. AOL dial up days. I was a huge Timberwolves fan back in the day and the numbers are my month and day when I was born. now it's really moved to Raptorwolf0924 as per my gamertag and what not. But still. I play this name like a boss!
In life, I am stuck between chaos and order, total enlightened devotion and utter darkness.
So, I like my handles/usernames/things very farming random. Usually, it's a mix of the two most current things that keep me busy at the time of account creation.
And I like my 'avatars' to go with the random user name. Black on white, no fuss, like old, genuine Volvo or Saab cars. Because you can't go all Ferrari all day and then expect to feel special and blessed on Sunday.
I don't like usernames with numbers in them. They make you look like a droid, which, if you don't happen to be mostly artificial, seems just plain wrong to me.

Bloodtrozorx is my XBL gamertag, I got XBL and tried to use my trusty online handle that I had for years and discovered it was taken, so I slammed the song Bloodtrocuted with Zorx and thus Bloodtrozorx. Damn you Dethklok.
