We've heard the stories behind most of our online handles already, but what about our actual names? My birth name was Daniel Erik Evanson. Erik I assume was chosen because my dad's family is from Norway, so there's some Scandinavian roots in it. From what I understand, Daniel was chosen because one of my dad's favorite songs was "Danny Boy". Since I came out, I go by Erika Arabella Evanson. Erika is basically just the female version of my middle name. I always liked my middle name more than my first name, so it felt natural to just use that. Arabella is from one of my favorite Arctic Monkeys songs, and because the lyrics basically describe the singer's perfect girl.
