What's in a name?

[naomi24]

There are some weird and wonderful names on the Answerbank. If yours is an alias, what inspired you to use it?

[welshlibranr]

because I'm welsh and my star sign is Libra, the r at the end was a mistake! but I liked it so there we are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peppy]

After me two Jack Russells, Pepper and Molly. And yes I know that it's balanced more in favour of one than the other, but I don't know how to change it ! xx

[peppy]

P.S, cracking question ,and to Thicko2006, I don't for a second think it's because you are, taking into account your
answer to the 'simile' post before.
Proper double-edged answer there, much admired xx

[luna-tic]

Thanks "joko" for correcting my spelling, it must be the Latin influence in my ancestory that made me spell "Lunar" without the "R" on the end. :0)

[Llamatron]

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

[naomi24]

Thanks everyone. Mine's not nearly as clever as most of yours, and rather more boring - it's taken from an ancestor whom I admired very much.

[pilotlight]

I'm always going out.

[naomi24]

pilotlight - that's really, really funny - I can't stop laughing.

[scottie2002]

scottie because I used to have scottie dogs(not westies) and 2002 is the year I got the internet.

[zipadeedodah]

Mine was because I had the song in my head when I registered! Unsurprisingly it didn't help me get the song out of my head...

[Alibobs]

Mine is the pet name my parents (both now deceased) called me as a child

[unruliejulie]

an old friend of mine always used to call me unruliejulie whenever we spoke! I loved it but im not at all unruly!

[-Zorro-]

Im a masked avenger at heart

[devilwoman]

guess?

[Ollie_P]

Ollie Plimsolls, a character from the League of Gentlemen. They printed Ollies email address as a spoof e-mail address in the programme from their last live show. I sent an email to Ollie , assuming I would get an auto response, but it can back as undeliverable. So I registered the e-mail address & spent the remaining 2 months replying to other curious individuals as Ollie P.

[choc lover]

kinda speaks for its self - i do seem to have a real addiction problem tho haha

[wizard69]

used to have an interest in all things occult so my friends used to call me the wizard...
69? better ask MRS. wizard.

[Kacee]

Mine sounds like my initials, I tried loads of others but they were already 'taken', although I've not seen them on AB.

[fly258]

My favourite windsurfing board....well it was at the time.

[shineybomb]

Shineybombhead was my nickname at school - from my best friend whose nickname was Laura bowlhead (i think she had a dodgy haircut). Its nothing rude, just because I have long shiny hair.

When I left someone drew a little picture of me on my school shirt with "shineybomb" under it and the spelling mistake stuck. Anyway it gives a little reference to the internet and email I use it for.
