Its my initials. And easy to type in. Most forums won't let you have 2 character usernames so I am something different on every forum.
 
I did a lot of theatre when i was younger. One of the rolls i played was in Damn Yankees. Her name was Lola. She sang a song called "what lola wants, lola gets". The other cast members jokingly said that I as a person fit that song very well. Even after the production was done they kept calling me Lola.... and it kind of stuck.
Also, the Wiz part comes from my married last name. Very Polish and long so just like my hubby Iamwiz82 shortens it, i did as well. 🙂
 
German ancestry + last name derived from German word frei (free) + I like Rammstein and it's the title one of their songs
 
:music:Z is for the zinfandel I've grown so very fond of
Y is for the question "why" it helps me figure out stuff
S is for the sillyness that I can't seem stay away from
O and C, what's that I see? They stand for Orange County
L and A, merely to say, a dream of Land far far Away
P, it seems a trifle thing, it merely stands for pimple
L and E, all 90 degrees, I quite enjoy the angles
M means man, that's what I am, I'll even show you on my cam:music:


Actually it's just a combination of letters I hit one day. It sounded cool.

I always thought the word SOAP stood out but no one ever sees it. zySOclAPlem
 
I was playing Chrono Trigger, and tried to name one of my characters "Cannabis". Didn't fit. Somehow ended up with Canai. yep.
 
I do everything ever so slowly, because I can afford to take my time. I only move quick when I have to or needed to be, and I do fly a lot so just a little bit of play on words.
 
We should just link the post to the last time someone asked this 😛.

My name came from an IRC nickname I started using a long time ago. I used this name that means "The Lover" because I am in a sad delusion that I am God's gift to wimmenz 😛. Then I later found out that this name is more closely translated to "The Fan"... which would be more like "The Stalker" than "The Lover." To top it off, people tend to shorten it to "Aiko" which is a Japanese girl's name 🙁. It's Aik or Aiky for short, darnit.
