Any meaning to your alias/name and where are you from?

[Zesti]

Some people have chosen names/aliases on this forum which seem to have at least some meaning to them.

This sometimes gets me curious.
It might also be interesting to know where people are from.

I'll start things of with a short explanation of my own alias.

Zesti
= Greek for "heat" and heat is of course an important factor in HVAC. (I am Dutch but have friends in Greece, so I chose a Greek alias on this forum)

[TheBlacksmith]

One of my hobbies. Was told via a work group Hermann Brain Dominance test that my artistic tendencies were lacking so I found a medium that involved high heat, large hammers and a modicum of artistry.

KiwiMace - I'm from NZ (US resident at present) and Mace is short for my last name, Mason. Not much of an abstraction, but if the alternatives are tumor samples and pyromaniacs, i'm ok with it.

I resemble that remark! heh!
