Don't know much about irony itself.

I admit name I'm using right now came from vintage game protagonist. And I'm not even live on same region with the game maker itself. But the game itself means much more to me personally, in which was the reason I'm sticking that name for almost everything I register in online stuff.

Too bad I can't use the name in XI since it's too long, have to truncate it to Bobbinthrdbare.

There's also rare case where I cannot use this name in certain MMO since it's under same company, so I had to use substitute which related to same game too. Also, I use this when I'm making new character on different server. If you happen to see a name goes by "Rusty Nailbender", that's also probably be me too.
