I loled at this.
Mine is because I love the game Chrono Trigger. (The original, not the one where Square Enix redid the dialog.)
I like solving problems and investigations and finding the Break in the case. Furthermore, I'm a Guy.
I just love the sound of the word and what it means (when using it to measure the quality of something/someone). The number is just the day I was born, which I happen to like as well. Lame, I know. 😱
My nick
There was an old early Sixties song Duke of Earl. Clever me... but by 1998 I was much too late. And I wasn't big on being DukeofUrl783214. However being a musician and a reader, there is a lower class UK pronunciation of duke which sounds like "jook." So take one old song, one net term, one colloquialism & Voila!
BTW a few years later, some guy in Australia shows up with a car modding website calling himself The Juke of Url. Being expedient & functional, I decided whenever my friends etc. saw that nick anywhere unsavory ---Hey! it's that guy from Oz! why would I want to look at Milfs Gone Wild. . ..😉

My name comes from 2001 when I was trying to decide whether to switch to the Mac platform or not. I had it as a user name on a different forum where I was looking for information on pros and cons of the switch. Which would not have been as big a deal except my workplace is all PC. When I joined Macrumors I reused the name.
I needed a name to play Starcraft on BlizzardNet in the late 90's. My interest in astronomy inclined me to look for names in that area. I started using it as my main alias, online, since.

I always thought the whole University of Florida taser incident when Sen Kerry was speaking was hilarious thus ... "Don't taze me bro!"
Funny how some people think my name is actually Donta ... Well yea Mr. Zemebro .... Donta Zemebro 😀
My real name is Jayson or Jay for short 😉

My parents have an angry, barky little Welsh Terrier named....wait for it...Crickett. Very often they'll yell out the window: "[My Name] SHUT UP!!! Get in the house NOW!!!" Or: "Oooooh that [My Name], I'm going to wring her neck!" Very awkward if both Crickett & I are out in the yard together. Like yesterday morning for instance.
They call me Crickett all the time, "Crickett, please hand me the blah blah blah, etc."
