I'm gonna bump this even though it's years dead, but in short:
I did a bit of soul-searching / "scene" identity reboot in 2012 as most 
of my other handles were either dumber or longer/more cumbersome than 
this one, "Telerophon", which I remember having pop into my head and 
deciding I like the way it sounded. Of course, now I kind of regret how 
much it sounds like "Telephone", but whatever; that's not really a bad 
thing. As for why it sounds nice, I was only subliminally aware of this 
when I chose the handle, but look up "Bellerophon" if you are bored 
later after you log out. ;]
