Partly because of the "sub" and the other part is low profile, or when it comes to cars-- stealth or sleeper. :-)

I made it up 5 years ago based on some biology terms and some Latin mingling.

Manar - kind of like "Monera"
ius - genitive ending for demonstrative pronouns in Latin ("eius, illius huius")

Not that I was looking for my name to mean that, but it was kind of cool. On my buddy list of 100 some people, I'm the only one whose name doesn't include a real word.

suby = Subaru
luvr = lover
2212 = exact displacement in CC's of the EJ22.

Yeah, it's pretty gay, but I came up with it when I was 15 or something, started using it everywhere (from AIM to eBay), and now I don't bother changing it because I'm too lazy.

When I moved to Montana when I was 12 some kids at middle school thought it would be funny to make up a ghetto sounding nick name for me and so began Jamal Brown.

I'm a white Canadian.

my username technically changed.

when I first joined I was ' 91legacy_sleeper'. after a few posts and personal encounters I was dubbed tris91ricer. tristan is my name, and they (well, she-who-must-not-be-named) thought I was a wicked riceboy at one point (ive grown! ) and so called me tris 91 ricer.
after it got used a few times, I had josh make it official, and add my standing as 'title whore', cuz I loved posting so much to see what different title I'd get at each post milestone.

damn it feels good to be a gangster.
