It goes back to an old joke... Nibelung were dwarves in norse and early germanic mythology, but later the Bergundian tribes who forged Sigfried's ring that makes it's way into Wagner's Ring cycle.
I spent a lot of my time working away in a dank dark cave.. (read cold workshop) making treasures.. and being 6' 5" I made the perfect dwarf.
It just stuck as a username.
