Great thread, loved reading everyoneās stories! Thanks to all those that have shared, some super interesting ones for sure 
Mine is boring and probably should have tried harder 
NZ (New Zealand being where Iām from) Metal (being my preferred genre of music). I guess easy to remember and gives people some info about me.
But to add to the stories about namesā¦
I like my first name Jeff (or Jeffrey but only my mum calls me that 
), named after my uncle who I also very much looked up to as a kid.
My middle name is Mark because with having an O for the start of the my surname my parents wanted to avoid any unsavoury abbreviations that people would tease me with (not sure what they had in mind 
). So JMO didnāt stand for anything. But, for that reason another uncle took it on himself to always call J-Mo to annoy my parents , I kind of liked it though, reminded me of the Muppets 
Also with my surname being Ormandy, I have had a lot of correspondence over the years addressed to āJeff or Mandyā so Iāve wondered whether Mandy could become some sort of alter ego 
Finally, I had a lot of nicknames in high school, āslothā, āwombatā and most unfortunately āstonerā which was the one that stuck the most. Had nothing to do with a particular bad habit, other than early high school being very boring and always nearly putting me to sleep, so my mates decided I looked like a stoner. Canāt always choose your names! Did not go down well when they forgot themselves though and said to their parents that Stoner was coming around to hang! 
Finally, Iām typically known to my friends these days as Spuddog or Spuddy as they found it funny that I grew up on spud (potato) farm as a kid. Donāt know why thatās funny, butā¦ 
Not a massive fan of any of those nicknames, so hence why I just made something up on the spot when joining here
