What is the story behind your Fluther name?

I am wondering if there is an interesting story behind your Fluther name. How did you come up with your handle? Was it on the spur of the moment? How long did it take you? Was it totally random or meticulously thought out?

In relation: How many of you use an avatar photo that is not you? Does it go along with your handle?

“Valdasta” was a nick-name given to me by my roommates at college. They couldn’t pronounce my last name…so Valdasta was the next easiest choice for them. It stuck.
