My nick is not Tolkien-related at all. I came across it in my vague studies and liked it.

'saraphim', or, actually, 'saraph' is a very old word for angel, in either hebrew, latin or sanskrit. 'saraphim' is actually the plural form, and that is why i signature my PM's with Saraph.

It might sound familiar because one of the characters in The Matrix (two and three)is named Saraph, which I thought was a nice touch, considering how bad the last two were. But that is another story.
