The name with the annex "the Giant" was primarily used by my little brother as warrior-name, when he was playing basketball for two or three seasons in the highscool. After years I remembered on the one side this name, because it was very unusual and therefore suitable for an internet nickname, which normally is free,so it has not to be combined with numbers (such as "Jo523"). And my faible for "giant" in plain German : "Gigant" has to do with the poet Christian Morgenstern and the genial translations of his poems by May Knight, as I wrote in another thread:
Anto-logy
Of yore, on earth was dominant
the biggest mammal: the Gig-ant.
("Gig" is a numeral so vast,
it's been extinct for ages past.)
But off, like smoke that vastness flew.
Time did abound, and numbers too,
until one day a tiny thing,
the Tweleph-ant, was chosen king.
Where is he now? Where is his throne?
In the museum pales his bone.
True, Mother Nature gave with grace
the Eleph-ant us in his place,
but, woe, that shooting anthropoid
called "Man", in quest for tusks destroyed
him ere he could degenerate,
by stages, to an Ten-ant's state.
O noble club, SPCA,
don't let Man wholly take away
the steps of that titanic scale
that leads still farther down the trail.
How greatful will the Ant survive
if left to flourish and to thrive,
until he, in a far-off year,
as Zero-ant will disappear
