Why «Pretinama»

Anyone who has seen the 1980s TV series «V» you will know that this is the Visitor word for «Peace».  It seemed apposite for me to have this word as my online name and presence.  I like it; I’ve used it probably since the 1990s in some form or another online either on AOL (I know) or IRC (I know again).  So it made sense to me to keep the name. 
They don’t seem to say it in the new version, which is sad really.
