What does your username mean?

RE: What does your username mean?
Jehanne stands for Jehanne la Pucelle ("Joan of Arc", a name that she did not go by during her brief life, but likely arose from a poem that Christine de Pizan wrote that was called Le Ditie de Jehanne d'Arc); historians know more about the life of the Maid of Orleans than anyone in history who lived prior to her or anyone after for the next 300 years. I have always found that fact to be impressive. During her lifetime and for decades after her first name was likely pronounced disyllabic.

That's cool.

It actually could be taken in a number of ways. But, thankfully, your profile pic gives us some context.

What other ways could it be taken besides a lover of lobsters?

I wondered if there was a connection to Jordan Peterson. He apparently thinks highly of lobsters.

It comes from my favourite novel (one you probably had to read in high school, but somehow I didn't, though I did so voluntarily before then), and my being an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church. And, yes, the ULC is pretty much a mail-order ordination mill, although unlike a lot of similar organisations, you can at least legally perform a marriage. Hell, you can see one famous ULC minister performing an impromptu marriage here:

Yeah. Lover of lobsters is the content of the username. But what does that mean? Do you love lobsters so much that you oppose the killing and eating of them? -OR- Do you love the taste of their muscle tissue, especially when dipped in drawn butter?

That's two very different takes on the concept "lover of lobsters."

What's up with your username? Any subtle details going on with it that you'd care to share?

Mine also has its roots in Star Trek. I played a character named, "Alex Freeman" in a Star Trek role-playing game. The character frequently engaged in time travel. So, the initials, "AF" followed by, "TT" for time traveler. The, "47" is from the fact that the numbers 4 and 7 come up very frequently in Star Trek lore.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Noice! I had no idea your username was so cool. What game? Is it any good? Star Trek RPG sounds nice. I might pick it up.

Also, in all my years of fandom, I'm somehow unfamiliar with the 4 and 7 thing. What's that all about?

Potentially enjoys the ministration of lobster's claws on their genitalia? There may be more definitions...

RE: What does your username mean?
I googled it (Star Trek RPG). I assumed it was a video game. It's tabletop. I see now.

Are there any good Star Trek RPG video games I wonder?
