 ==Are you alright? )== 
 Hi, 

 You've asked a question I never thought would arise, and it makes me worry for your sake a little  Wikipedia might be getting to you! ;) 

 The name had no meaning or signification for me at all when I concocted it (whilst intoxicated no less!)  Originally, I pronounced it  ""ZOH"" (as in Zodiac) - loz (as in the Wizard of Oz.)  A friend later suggested that another possibility.  Take a music (or a Han) ""Solo"", pluralize it: Soloes, and change the intial sound to a Z.  ZOH-lows, I guess I'd write that. 

 I am a rather odd fellow, as is well-known, so this is what I decided.  The first use of Xoloz by me was NOT on Wikipedia, but elsewhere.  To distinguish between this other use and my Wikipedian name, I use the ""original"" pronunciation (The Wizard of...) for non-Wikipedian purposes, and the more recent suggestion when referring to the Wikipedian. 

 Aren't you glad you asked? ;)  My answer gives further insight into the depths of my insanity; I am proud of myself, though (and pleasantly surprised), that I managed to keep my explanation of the name this short.  My verbosity and my sesquipedialism must be both coming under control. )  Best wishes,  "
