I was Public Health Nurse in my working life. I worked with newborns in low income areas. I met a Mexican mother who named her baby Iraxy. When I asked her where she got it from she told me that it was Mayan for Princess of the Springtime. Being a sunny spring time person (May baby), and already having been named a "Princesa" by my loving Hispanic father, it was a perfect nom de plume for me. I asked her if she minded my stealing it and she said no. So, it has been my on line name for over 20 years.
