Mine involved very little thought at all really.

Hursti - A play on my school nickname, Hursty, that is derived from my surname Hurst. :rolleyes::p
Con - Derived from the name of my favourite race of Sentient Robot life. ;):D

Put together = Hursticon: pronounced Hurst-e-con. ;):)

For my username -
The Skywarp part refers to my favourite seeker-deco while the 91 part refers to the year 1991, when I was born! :D

1991?!? Now I feel old... :(

Is there a history behind the "Towers" limb of the name?

I like it!

Mine is quite plain and not inspired by our beloved Transformers in anyway, aside from a minor tie-in with TT's homeland. My real name is Jai (pronounced 'Jeye'), and the love I have for Japan (the history, culture, the martial arts, the womenz XD), my friends referred to me as Jai-san through my teen years. So with 'san' being the Japanese name suffix for adults (unless my Jap teacher was wrong, which she probably was, she wasn't even Japanese =oP), I altered it to Jaisun as my common username in games/forums etc, as Jaisan often got me called Jayson. So yeah, very long-winded explanation of a simple name =oP

I'm not sure which 'verse it came from but its stuck with me and i'm pretty sure its canon. Mirage hails from a wealthy district of Iacon called the Towers. Only rich, elite and noble bots live there in luxury. Hence, he's from the Towers, and he's a Spy :)

This stumped me for a moment, then I realised that by Elvish you mean Quenya. So you're right... it's just for me usually when I think of Elvish I think of Sindarin, and the Sindarin equivalent of John is Eruviluion (which isn't too different from Eruntalon). :) :cool:

How do you say "Till All Are One" in Quenya? (or any other Elvish language)

Unfortunately I really don't know how to say anything Goktimus. I've seen multiple translations of my name also so Eruntalon might not be the most literal translation. It was pointed out to me by a friend back in 2002 and I've used it ever since as an online alias.

I sometimes use Elvish (Sindarin) in class -- on the odd occasion I'll say to my students things like:
Havodad (be seated)
Hannon le (thank you)
Lasto beth nin (listen to me - lit. "hear my voice")
Dartho / tangado haid (hold your position)
