I really don't know.... I think I wanted to get away from the variations of "phate" that I had been using. I got phate from The Blue Nowhere, a mystery about some hackers and stuff. Meh book, but I stole the name.
idk, the coolest name I've ever seen is one of my best friends goes by Kranberry, he's a short 1/2 chinese kid who's a blackbelt in taekwondoe, so it suits him... idk how it does, but it does.
