Had to Google it.

Turns out I passed it a hundred times when living in Dublin, in Harold's Cross, and never knew this.

Anyone who grew up in my town and is my age (+/- maybe 10 years) will know what it's from.

Anyone who's studied kitch aspects of my country's culture will also know.

Anyone who didn't or hasn't doesn't need to know.

It was a completely random name that I was given in an online game about 15 years ago. I don't use it anymore and don't particularly like it now but that's what I'm known as here so no point changing it.

I'm a Harry Potter fan, and Pottermore put me in Ravenclaw. Who's the best known Ravenclaw? Loony Luna Lovegood.

My real name has a foreign origin, even in my own non-Irish birth country. I tried to transfer it to something Irish. Failed. Anglisized it. Failed. So I just thought bugger, carry on with whatever. Et voilà.
