My all time favourite movie is Blade Runner, and if you know that movie, you'll know that androids play a big part. On top of that, it suits very well with my fascination for Kraftwerk and the man-machine image of theirs. :D

What's your story?

My mother was 9 years old when she became a flowergirl at the local flower-shop and had to go with flowers and give flowers away at the concert-house in her town at that time. Then in 10 years time she was madly in love with the conductor who was Everett Lee and so she played around with his name. This was back at when 1969 turned into 1970. That game was finnaly making it through and got the name Leelene on her mind. So I was given that name because I was what she had dreamed of, a baby daugher. I am really Leelene in real life!

Love Leelene

SHARPBLUE

If you read Iain M Banks 'Consider Phlebas' the main character is a Changer called 'Horza' which is short for 'Bora Horza Gobachul' - he has glands that secrete chemicals into his bloodstream for any given purpose - SHARPBLUE is one of the drugs he can secrete which impoves his mental focus and keens his senses to what is going on around him.

Consider Phlebas is recommended.

At the time I started using this name, I was obsessed with Paul McCartney and Wings. 'Jet' is a Wings song and my real initials spell JET. I added an extra 'T'. :P My favourite Wings song was and is 'C Moon', so that's where I got the 'Moon' part. The 'wing' part is obviously from the band name.

Heeheh... well mine has a long story..

Those who look see Leo Da V wich obviously stands for Leonardo Da Vinci.

When I was on junior school I liked to do a lot with electronics and my attempts to invent things. My class mates saw me as, and called me, leonardo. It was also because of a comic book build arround leonardo with an assistant who got all the beatings of Leonardo's failed experiments. I also like the real Leonardo and the work he has done. He was far ahead of his time. Back then I hoped to become like Leonardo. Did I succeed? guess not...

When the 27mc radio rage was in .nl I decided my callsign should be LeoDaV. I've used it ever since.

My Latin teacher in high school once mentioned that one of the forms of a verb meaning "to lie" would make a good name for a pet or something.

Fallo, Fallere, Fefelli, Falsus.

I just switched the doubling of the letters. If you spell it correctly and translate literally, my name means "I lied." This is always amusing to me because I like to think that I'm a very honest and open person.

The surname "Andaleio" I took from my mate. ^^

Finland + Aero

But I didn't form it refering to the Aero concert, more like, to the former name of Finnair corporation, Aero Oy.
