Mine is a combination of two different things. I am a pagan, but specifically a discordian-a follower of Eris, goddess of chaos, discord, and confusion- therefore Erisian. Monkey stems from the theory that man is descended from apelike primates, often misinterpreted as "monkeys." I would have to say that the "monkey" portion of my name is therefore a three or more way jest. First at those who do not understand the concept of evolution and think that we really did come from the monkeys or apes that you see in the world today. Second at those who reject any possibility of the concept of evolution on the basis of blind faith. Lastly at those who hold the concept of evolution as one of their sacred cows and can't stand when someone substitutes monkey for primate.
Which is not to say I'm completely convinced of evolution, but I can't rule the theory out as there is a serious dearth of solid evidence.
