Hello, Christopher Booth here or NPX aka Nocturnal Principal X. Since I often get asked what my screen name means I will just post an explanation as an intro...to show you how nerdy I can be lol.
------------------------
Below is an explanation of my screen name. I wrote it several years ago. I was uh 20 something at the time. I am now closer to 30�lol. At any rate it is perhaps a little nerdy or even dorky but hey I like to think things through.
Origin of Nocturnal Principal X Screen Name
Alright I�m going to tell you all about the origin of my screen name.
Below I will give the meanings of the words in my name in what context I mean them, remember a words meaning is all about context.
Nocturnal: German word for night (and used in English when talking about say animals that are active at night).
Principal: Principal is both a noun and an adjective. Being the main or most important, consequential, or influential.
A leader, chief, or head; one who takes the lead; one who acts independently, or who has controlling authority or influence; as, the principal of a faction, a school, a firm, etc.; -- distinguished from a subordinate, abettor, auxiliary, or assistant.
X: An unknown or unnamed factor, thing, or person.
Christ (In Greek it is Christos).
So my screen name means �One who has the authority of Jesus Christ within them to provide nightvision so they can see the truth in a world of darkness.�
Jesus Christ is the bearer of light. When I became a Christian I accepted His truth and authority and made it a point to follow His commandment to witness to the world by baring His light (giving nightvision to see in the darkness) that now dwells within me. Christ calls all Christians to witness and I desire to do as He commands.
Notice these verses about light:
Matthew 5:16 (New American Standard Bible):
16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
John 8:12 (New American Standard Bible):
12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world, he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."
In truth when I first came up with my screen name it was because I thought it sounded cool and was unique. Other reasons I put the words together to form my screen name were because my favorite word is Nocturnal, easy to spell and sounds cool. I choose principal because that word means an authority and is therefore important. X of course means unknown and it was the first letter of my favorite show The X-Files (I know the show went off the air some time ago but I still love it over any other show on television.) Another key factor in choosing my screen name was the fact that Sam Fisher, from Splinter Cell used nightvision goggles to see in the night. For those who don�t know who Sam Fish and Splinter Cell are check the following links for a description:

I believe that everything happens for a reason and perhaps it is no coincidence that I would chose a screen name that speaks of what I now do because I know the Lord Jesus Christ.
