My name is Mike, and I own a comic store named Phoenix Comics. When I signed up for IRC in the mid 90s, I tried to make my user name mikephoenix, but IRC had a nine character cap on usernames, so it got truncated to mikephoen. For some reason, I've just continued to use that for my online activities ever since.
In my head, it's pronounced 'mikefeen', but everyone I've ever met who saw this online has thought it was pronounced 'mike phone'.
