how did you come up with your username?

I chose my nickname from a rare and unique piece of heavy equipment I used to see on pipeline construction. It's called a Hydro-Ax (without the e). It's like a really big lawn mower monster that can mulch small trees and brush to clear ahead of the bulldozers. I used to call my guitar hydroaxe because it sounded so mean and since I've been on the web, I've always found it available whenever I want to use it as a handle. Here's what it looks like:

I chose mine cause it's my child-nickname from my Dad. In LOTR (the books, Lord of the Rings) there's a minor character that lives in the Shire named Lobelia (also a flower). And my middle name is Louise, so...my dad took Lou from Louise and Belia from Lobelia and created my screename. Any internet forum/domain...I use that name.

it's my first name with the first letter of my last name

It's a tribute to my little guy Toby, he'd just died ... he was a terrific friend and joy to have and I love using his name as my ID

I am a kiwi and deus was hubby's user name before i met him so we merged ours into kiwideus - gamers will know 'deus ex machina' (yup, I am a gamer and so is hubby)

We have four black & white (a.k.a. Tuxedo) cats...tuxedokitties!

The warden is a nickname someone stuck to my name when the nieces were little and I would try to keep everybody straight. I have a lot of neices and grandneices and grandnephews now. so I am still busy with a bunch of kids I always liked Kitties too.

I bought me a coffe cup from Garfield in Germany 14 years ago and it says Cats are Purrfect and I belive it is true . I love cats and love for cats is purrfect . Well there you got it : PurrfectCatlove

Hope is my first name & Hacker is my last name, hence HopeHacker. I'll bet you all thought I was a computer "hacker", didn't you? LOL!

Ummm... actually yes, I thought you were a very proud hacker.

Usually I use my first name, but it was taken. My cat is black, so littleblackcat. Is that creative, or what?
