I used the sobriquet "Warthog" for years on other forums, chat rooms, etc. - even my law partners referred to me as Warthog. When I shipped on FR, Warthog was taken so I added my initials at the end. It was not long before I wanted to change to something that hearkened back to my Celtic heritage. I first tried to change to Cuchulain, but it was already taken. So I went for Conchubar Mac Nessa, High King of the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. I used the anglicized spelling rather than the traditional - thought the traditional spelling would seem bizarre to those not familiar with Irish Mythology.
"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
