Level 70 Elite Draenei Hunter (or Not Really)

A personal story in the experience: I Want to Know the Story Behind Your Username
M y username is horribly, wonderfully geeky. Alletha is the name of my main World of Warcraft character. I got the idea for calling her "Alletha" not from the NPC in Darkshire ("Aletha", Captain of the Night Watch) but from an original character in a Harry Potter fanfiction. There's an extra L tacked on because "Aletha" was taken. When Alletha is an available name and I can't think of what to use I use it. It's even more apt for Experience Project-- its root word is greek and means "truth".

*chuckle* Every time I make a character the name I want is taken! Most recent name-obsession is Fhaedre. Simply because "Phedre" is always unavailable. :D

Heh, I contemplated having my Username be WoW based but decided against it at the last minute.
