When I was a kid I liked Star Wars. Being creative, my online alias was Skystriker.
However, when I joined a role-playing game once I realized that this was not always appropriate for a name, so I wanted to think of something more fantasy oriented. Well, I was raised Christian and had read up on angelology at some point for some reason (probably just browsing the net) and heard of the name 'Jolrael' that was an angel. I thought it was a pretty if zany name and figured I'd make mine a bit more unique, so I inserted different consonants all the way through the alphabet, and knew I liked the name Jozrael (especially since the shortened version Joz, which everyone online seems to do to names, I particularly liked).
I've slowly been shifting my aliases from Skystriker to Jozrael over the years, though my gaming names tend to still be sky oriented, if not Skystriker. It holds a special place in my heart.
