    Re: How'd You Get Your Username?

    Raymond Lee Ditmars was an American herpetologist from 1899 until his death in 1942. He was considered the foremost herpetologist in the country during his lifetime. He authored a number of reptile books, including "Reptiles of North America" which I fell in love with when I was in high school. Hence my Username, rlditmars. My avatar is actually a picture of him.

    I used to participate in a type of Brazilian martial art called capoeira. It's part of the culture for your mestre to name you, and from that point on you are known to everyone involved in capoeira as your nickname. Mine doesn't have a Portuguese translation like some, just a situational one. It's pronounced "chee-la."

    Mine is from the manga/anime Death Note. Basically Kira = killer.

    I've always liked the name anyway but I signed up here shortly after binge watching the series so it stuck.
