I guess basically this a link to find out how everybody decided on their pen names.
Mine was kind of influenced because I had the nickname of Nova Cain (it's a sort of play on words of my first name. If I gave it to you, you'd understand) from an upperclassman while I was in junior high and high school. At the same time, I liked watching the Digimon movie (still do, actually) and I liked Greymon's "Nova Flame" attack. That in and of itself gave me the inspiration for it, and since I was writing fanfiction, it just sort of fit with my name and theme and everything.

Your pen name is much more creative than mine. My note name (me, Jupiter, and three other friends had this system going so if we were to ever lose a note no one would know who it was for or from back when we were in 8th grade) was Blondie and that's where the basis of my pen name stemmed from with a 91 stuck to the end.
I used that name as an anonymous reviewer on ffnet for a long period of time before I finally got an e-mail thing worked out (I had to start out using one of Jupiter's o.o;) and got me an account by that same name. ^.^

My name is an anagram. The letters, unscrambled, spell the name of my favorite Harry Potter character. I originally was going to scramble it from the title "Mrs. So-and-so" to refer back to me, but because the letter "s" showed up too frequently, I left it as Mr. "So-and-So." The same anagram applies to my fictionpress username, "Calibur Kiss," only without the title "Mr." in front. I wonder if any of you can figure out who the character is?

I've been using Jupiter Lightning since 7th grade. It started out as a user name for neopets and I thought of it when I was a big Sailor Jupiter fan. At first it was Jupiter_Lightning_44 and then on ff.net it's Jupiter-Lightning. Anywhere else, it's just jupiterlightning or JupiterLightning. It's just kind of stuck ever since and it's easy to remember since I've had it for so long, so I use it for everything except my e-mail address.

Mine is a nickname that was given to me awhile ago. My fav Zelda character is Saria and people who know me well think I have some traits like her so the name grew.

Okay, I can understand the Forest Girl part, but what about "Kaz"? Is that part of a first name or a different part of the nickname?

My actual name is Karen, people just took to calling me Kaz for a nickname so it kinda stuck.

Hehe, I don't know where my pennames came from. It just came to me one day. Actually both of them did. i just wanted one that sounded cutesey and another that sounded depressing. Hence, Sparkly Faerie and Hopeless Maiden were the ones I came up with. mirablickruss... is your name, by any chance, taken from "Mr Sirius Black"? Major Harry Potter freak right here!
