Not sure how I stumbled across this old thread, but it deserves a bump after eight years. Sad to see that many "old timers" who posted here don't frequent TC anymore (and ones like Tiki-Kate and Tiki David who we've lost).

Wendy asked me about my name when I met her and Dan last November. This is the first message board I've ever joined, so I didn't have a pre-existing internet persona. When looking for a good "tiki name", I decided to translate the meaning of my real name into Hawaiian. Except I must have been drinking a Mai Tai at the time; instead of looking up "appointed", I searched "anointed" and discovered "hamo", which was short, simple, and not taken by anybody else. Now I also use it for Critiki and the Grogalizer.
