My crap username was a mistake because the first time I tried to sign up, it didn't work. So I tried quickly a second time thinking it wouldn't work, and threw in that crap name. It stuck.
I might change to a Stevie Wonder related name sometime, but I'm not bothered.
Mine is what my friends call me and what some idiots call me because my name "is so hard to pronounce".

Mine's is a reference to the political power of gardening to heal the individual, society and the planet.
Guerilla Gardening is the practice of covertly cutting through red tape to plant useful plant species on unclaimed or unmanaged pieces of land to effect positive environmental, or even social, change regardless of land ownership or legal permissions.

When I first came here around October 2002, I wanted a name that was Beastie-related, but not anything uber-cliched (such as the glut of "Beastiegirl" variations).
What popped into mind was the track "The Sounds of Science" (the part: "Now here we go droppin' science, droppin it all over..."). I know a few people thought of it as from "Sure Shot" ("...we're known for droppin' science"), but I wasn't thinking of that song.
I thought that was so cool, I went with the name. I'm still happy with it. :)

Have used that name since '98 or something, needed a hotmail-name that was individual, didn't wanna use my own name. There was a time I called myself stargirl as well, had to do with when I moved to a small town to study, my favourite band (who's guitarist I had a huge crush on) played the night before I moved and I gave a necklace with a star on to the guitarist as a memento, and so he'd recognise me on their messageboard/guestbook I named myself stargirl. There is some sites where I still use that name.

But I have Britney Spears' greatest hits too, and I own all of her other CD's. so it doens't really bother me. it's cool, plus there are always bonus songs and stuff on it.
