I joined an RPG chat site a long time ago called WebRPG (which closed and we moved to OpenRPG) and Devor was the name of a bard I created on my first day for a pick-up game of AD&D. That game dissipated, I've never played as that character, and it became my screen name. I wound up DMing a lot, so having the screen name of a bard character felt right.
But the name does have a subtle super-cool-but-really-lame meaning for that character. It's a bastardization of the "The Bore," as in somebody called him "Da Bore"ing bard and it stuck. I wrote a short story about it when somebody started a challenge here on Mythic Scribes years ago to write a story about your screen name. I couldn't really get it to work as a story.
In other places I sometimes go by SperoAmicus, which is Latin for "To Hope, Friend." I just like it.
