I have always thopught my name was pretty cool, but it has probably the dorkiest roots around.
Back in '99, i got into online gaming. I went through a bunch of names, but eventually started using "Vlad O'Vostok", thinking i was clever making an irish/russian name.
I got ridiculously hammered on New Years that year, entirely on Vodka, so i decided to make it "Vlad O'Vodstok".
I realised that Vodstok was pretty cool, especially without the nerdy "Vlad O'" moniker at the beginning, and it just stuck. I use it for everything. Even named one of my sites after it :) (
