Thus far, I have the most interesting story...
Fabry. It's a crater on the moon. There was a time a while ago when I couldn't think of names for all the kitbashes that I was making. So, I grabbed an encyclopedia and looked at the moon. I copied all of the names that I liked, and due to my poor handwriting, Fabry looked like Fabrx. And so, I added a vowel to make it right. Fabrax, no. Fabrix, no. Fabrox, no. Fabrex, no. Fabrux, yes. Then I named a ship after it. And all was content, until someone hijacked my Hotmail account. So, I wanted a name that wouldn't need numbers in it. I looked through my ship list and saw Fabrux. So I put it in. The rest is history.

Well, my name comes from Richard Wagner's "Der Ring Des Nibelungen" opera cycle. Siegfried becomes the central character in "Siegfried" and "Die Gotterdammerung." This is one of my favorite musical works, so I picked the name of the hero.
As for The Pompatus of Love, well, I explained this way back in the very old "Interrogation of Charles Capps" threads (TM).

I'm a part-time fantasy/scifi writer. I was writing a story where there was the captain of a ship who sailed the seas of Astelbania (a world my bro and I created back in our D&D days) That captain's name was Alshrim Dax (Dax cuz I like star trek and that was my paying homage to it in a fantasy story)
I came up with names like: Eylan Goldenbane, Brandyn Lorenquick, Loreena Silvahart, Dannoa Dax etc... Alshrim Dax fit me .. cuz my actual name is in it .. (Al) .. so .. I picked that.

Back in the days of the dial-in bulletin boards, I tried "The Great And Powerful Turtle" (from the Wildcards seried edited by George R. R. Martin) but that was too long. The acronym, TGAPT, meant nothing to nobody. I then tried "Bat-Winged Hamburger Snatcher" (from Odd Bodkins, the only underground comic I know of that made it to syndication in a major newspaper). Same problem, and BWHS made no sense to anybody either.
Finally I settled on Baloo, the character from Kipling's "The Jungle Book", and Disney's "Tale Spin". Just about everyone knows who that character is, and I have (approximately) the same build, and nearly as much hair.

Mine's from a name I used for a BPeM RPG... the character was a Betazoid, so I wanted something that sounded Betazoid-ish (or is that Betazoid-like?) Dane is short for Danai. Oh, and my real name's in there somewhere too.

Baloo's post reminded me of an episode of Tiny Toons. Plucky and Hampton go swimming (skinny-dipping). Something happens and Plucky runs off with the clothes. Hampton has to walk home naked, and gets gasps of shock from everyone. And Bugs walks buy wearing just gloves, and is fine. And what about Daffy eh? What exactly did he wear?

We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid.

*LOL@the cartoon nudity argument*
Mine is my name.
I used to go as 'C. Capps'... During my days in the Adjective Army, I adopted the nickname Obsessive, courtesy of Obsessive Behaviour, the predecessor to The Behaviour Group. From 'The Obsessive C. Capps' came 'The Obsessive C.', which evolved into 'TheObsessiveC', which eventually got shortened into 'TOC'/'TheObC'/'ObC'... And now it's taken another transformation into 'TOCie', and 'eiCOT' when I feel different.
But I use Charles Capps for pretty much everything. *L*
