User blog comment:AYET/Why the (nick) name???/@comment-4493594-20120416063243

I thought I already explained that... I wanted to come up with something original because I loath nicknames with numbers and those using the names of characters.

The "-witch" part originates in the anime Ojamajo Doremi, a show I enjoyed a lot when I was a teenager. It was also the first fandom I participated in online. (Funnily enough I never used this nickname on any site related to it.)

"Neo-" means "new". Well, duh. I had Latin and Language Analysis in German at that time and I have a weird love for technical terms. (Neologism is such a lovely word. Right? RIGHT??? *sound of crickets* ...Forever Alone.)
