When my friends and I first got the internet, we used to use IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and had to have nicks. --Oh the days of 2400 Baud modems!-- My first one was Claire because that had been my name when I was in French class. I decided that I wanted something with more "personality". My friend picked Moesha for me. Brandy's show was on then. I've used it ever since. Everyone that I've ever met in real life that I had first met online calls me Moe.
