It is very interesting to read about people's choice of names.
I was pinkeye before - no particular reason for choosing it, except I like pink and somehow thought of redeye flights at the same time, and just combined the two. But later found out it was also a name for conjunctivitis and started hating my name, but nevertheless stuck with it.
And after I started feeling little better, I started hating my name even more, so wanted something nice and pretty. Ever since I was a kid, I used to have a fancy for Orchids. Saw a movie when I was a kid with a lady and a small kid where there were plenty of Orchids. And recently, whenever I travel through Singapore Airport, I always go through the Orchid garden and I love it. So decided to go with it.
