TheMutt because I'm a mutt (14 different ethnicities). It came about because everyone kept asking me what exactly I was, and it's really a huge pain to rattle off 14 different ethnicities everywhere you go. I eventually just started calling myself a mutt because it's so much easier, and it's stuck since. (my email account is mistermutt...)

Rondo, and its French equivalent rondeau, is a word that has been used in music in a number of ways, most often in reference to a musical form, but also to a character-type that is distinct from the form. Although now called rondo form, the form started off in the Baroque period as the ritornello, from the Italian word ritornare meaning "to return" indicating the return to the original theme or motif ("A"). The typical Baroque ritornello pattern is ABACABA. Although there are a few differences, some people use the two terms, rondo and ritornello, interchangeably. This is probably familiar to everyone here.
The "hd" is because 'Rondo' was alredy taken as a user name...it is for Harley Davidson. Rondo has been a nick name of mine for 35 years and actually is a diminutive/aglacised form of Reinaldo, but my High School music teacher tagged me with it for good
He thought it fit rather well.

Well, it's my name. Edu is short for Eduardo (portuguese version of Edward), and Fettermann is my middle name (german for 'fat man', LOL).
I just moved to Florida from Washington and am a "left coast transplant", which was too long, so I abbreviated the first part...
BassLand - when I registered my domain name my name was not available, bassman was taken also so I chose Bass Land which also are my initials (BL).
Etymology of my name(also my musical alias) is the greek word "oneiros" which means dream like in quality and "gen" to create. Creating a dream like state. I came up with this name to make fun of myself and describe my music. I make music that is pretty, relaxed, and very ambient. My wife and others have commented that my music puts them to sleep (in a good way?) And I have actually played people to sleep, not at a gig thankfully! Also of note, certain drugs that induce dream like states like dmt and salvia have been labeled oneirogens.
Isn't oneirogenic more like "coming forth from a dream" or "created by a dream" than it is "creating a dreamlike state"?
Not sure though, I bass (ha) this on words like entheogenic.
Edit: really like your name though. You ever dabble in lucid dreaming?

Hmmm I'm not sure how it originally happened, but mine is a conglomeration of several online personas I fathered over the years. When I first started becoming active on the internet... it was specifically to cause trouble wherever I could. I performed all manner of unpleasantness on the WWW under the name MISTER MIGRAINE. Later, around 2003... there was a local messageboard for the Albany Raver / Dace scene. At the time I was throwing parties for money... hated the music but I could get these *Famous* DJ's to come up from NYC for a hotel room, a bottle of liquor and $100 in cash... and kids would come from 5 counties around and pay $30 a head to stand in an abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere with no drinks and no working facilities just to see these guys spin records and drop E. I made a killing. Anyway... the messageboard was literally called the Albany Drama Board... a place for gossip and smacktalk... and I began posting there anonymously as PABLO or alternatively, THE MIGHTY PABLO, PABLO THE INIQUITOUS, PABLO THE VILE etc. At one point there was a $500 reward for proof positive of my identity... which was never revealed.... until now I think....
Somewhere along the line I combined the two.....

Obvious really, I'm a Brit (living in Australia), and I use a pick most of the time.
Both of these things have a level of ambivalence about them, and I like that.

Ralph S. Mouse, a mouse who could own Stewart Little. My first name which is highly recommended if your thinking of a name change or thinking of becoming pregnant and giving birth. So yeah, that's it.

Dabbled yes...not much success but I also spent very little time on it. It is however very fascinating to explore lucid dreaming if you realize you are in one.

For mine Amadeus in a name book means "God loving" and Xeno in the dictionary means "stranger or unknown person" so basically it means God loving stranger. It looks like a real name but in all honesty it's not my real name sounds cool though and I'm thinking about using it as my stage name if I ever start giging again.

Mine was a second choice. Among my musician friends/associates, I am generally referred to as "Chief" or "the Chief". But, both of these were taken when I registered.
So, my fallback was a nickname bestowed on me in the early 1990's by Jim Martin (Faith No More) and Dino Cazares (Fear Factory/Brujeria). Sorry for the name dropping, but it is an important element of this story...
Jim, Dino and I were on a three-day drinking binge and I started to develop gout. My foot hurt like he--, and it became difficult to stand. Jim and I were shooting pool at a dive bar and I could barely move. So, Jim cut off the toe of my boot with his pocket knife to give my foot room to "breathe". He commented, "Damn Chief, you sure got a funky toe." And that's how it came to be.
