Mine is in homage to my dad who emigrated from Scotland to Canada in '67 and, although his name is Bill, got called "Scottie" by EVERYONE (as he tells it). Since I have been in Scotland since I was 3, I figure that if I moved to Canada, I'd be given the same nickname so I've pre-empted you all!! 
It sort of also fits the idea of Scottie being down in the engine room of the Enterprise and me being a tech guy for this place.
The lower case "s" is just to see who's paying attention when they mention me in posts or whatever! Heh!

I know what you mean about the lowercase "s" mind you I naturally capitalize proper names, so I probably did/will still call you Scottie, and not scottie
my internet handled used to be "the Greatest" (and for those who get board and check out the junior board I sometimes post a link to
*cough*cough* my handle there is still the same. I have the lowercase "T" just to see who's paying attention.
The story on that handle is that one day the editors of the high school newspaper were nagging me to write a coloum to fill the paper. I told them I was too busy, finally after a week of them bugging me I said "FINE I'LL DO IT!!! But it'll be on how GREAT I am" around the same time I started posting on messageboards and couldn't think of anything other than the name in my coloum. I've gravititated away from it now because well I've graduated a while ago, but still keep it on one board just cause it's tradition.
