My name came from a minor otter character in one of Brian Jacques' Redwall books. I picked it because I signed up for the official website, and that was the username I tried (and it was available!). So that's where it came from :)
Although I sometimes tell people it's because of a rice crop disease which is called Tungro!
Admittedly, if I had thought a bit more about it, there are a lot of negative aspects to the name.
But it's stuck, and I guess just like some other words such as "microwave" that take on a different meaning (people think of a microwave oven rather than the waves themselves), I'll stick to Tungro.
