A friend came up with It In senior/high school, and I've been using It ever since.

It was decades ago, so I don't remember exactly why I was named as such.

I've always wondered is it like "fathered" as in I was fathering him. But mothered obviously.

A lot of members have said something similar.

Some have also suggested "Mother Ed".

I must admit, my username is the same. A friend introduced me to this board many years ago. There was a joke going round that people would not be allowed to use the forum's Skype group chat (yes it was that many years ago we used Skype) without having a forum account. Therefore they made me this account, with this username, and it's stuck ever since.

I like the creativity!
Well ain’t that interesting, yeah I have 3 go to usernames and yaiba is definitely one I use a lot. Your name definitely sticks tho, cant see you with any other name.

Yaiba is a nice name.

It's odd to think everyone has their own real names off this board. I have met a few people IRL over the years, and often end up using board names to address each other, as it's hard to imagine them being called anything but.

It sticks, I like it. Any reason why you picked an Dismas? There's a lot of creatures out there just wondering why you picked this one.

Always loved Japanese folklore and the creatures (tengu/kitsune/etc.). Modern caricatures tend to show Dismas in a humorous manner (silly/drunken), which contrasts how older literature showed them (savage/evil).
