What's the story behind your screen name?

[Revo]

My name is shortened from "revontuli", which is Finnish for the aurora borealis or the northern lights. Literally translated it means "revo's fire", which in turn is based on an old folklore by the Sami people living in northern Finland and Norway. In said folklore, the northern lights are created by a fox ( = "repo") whisking the snow with its tail and causing it to sparkle.

So I guess it would be more appropriate for my avatar to be a fox rather than a lynx . Meh.

Lynxes are winter-y, I've seen wildlife photos of them dusted with sparkling snow, it works What a lovely folktale that is.


Sombolia, I always think of "sonambulence" as the root of yours when I see it, it's just how my mind fills in the blank though I guess

And Kasei....boy I mangled it. I've been saying Kay-sigh. D:

Haha, I never thought about that!

Man, I don't want kids either, but I know if I have a son I would name him James I've always loved that name.
