I use "torridd" pretty much for everything online (my chess games,. etc.) I just sort of like it. I've always liked comics, but I don't have a special affinity for my avatar, Human Torch though. 

I 100% thought your name was a poor spelling of Torii'd, as in Torii Hunter.

Wait, it isn't "not her halo"?

I always thought your name came from that time when you safely landed a plane on the Hudson River. No?

Close, I suppose. 
 

I was First Mate in a tall ship and the Capt. yelled out “Sully, Hands to sail” and it stuck.

I always thought Tank was tank because he loved James Garner in the movie Tank.

And Lou was Lou from the Mary Tyler Moore show.

Adam was a big fan of the TV Show Adam 12

Boy, do I feel dumb now.

Mine is a cricket reference.

A 'maiden' is a set of six balls bowled (an over) that concedes no runs at all, if you also take a 'wicket' during the over (get somebody out) then that is called a 'wicket maiden'. It's the holy grail of bowling in the short T20 format and is incredibly difficult to do (I've done it once in 30 years of playing  - but I don't count it - long story, so I'm still chasing that goal).

The closest baseball equivalent I can think of would be a perfect inning.

Truly a waste of the use of maiden.

I think it's quite poetic, it hints at purity and an unblemished nature. Perfect for an unblemished over in a game where the bat more often than not dominates the ball.
