It's shortened from what I actually wanted, NorthernLightMountain, since that was too long. That in turn is based on the main antagonist (MorningLightMountain) in my favorite book from my favorite author, Peter F. Hamilton.

I live quite far to the north so I figured it would be a nice twist on the name.

Used to go by other handles on other sites but figured I'd start fresh over here.

Still hoping for a change to a bit longer display names. :)
