Where does your username come from?

@DavidP you see that’s what happens when environmental professionals make up user names.

Just come across this post. It got me thinking, where did my username come from then realised it is my name . Never really got into this incognito user name concept , I try to keep my life simple after a pretty full on work life or maybe I am just worried I will forget who I am if i use an alias , that is probably most likley

@eric.lennon

it is my name

That was me on the old forum, plain old tobyjenner. Nothing to add nothing to hide. Well until the Mustang Preset Incident and ensuing insanity.

Nowt wrong just using your given name Eric but questions may have been raised, if your parents had named you John !

@TheMadman_tobyjenner

Toby is not my given name

Are you trying to confuse me again?

’ve wondered whether Mandy could become some sort of alter ego

You do know that we like to watch alter egos around here, right @brianlarsen ? perhaps another act could introduce Mandy to the wider audience?

Oh, it’s all starting to come out now.

Some fun stories & banter above… I bet there’s a whole lot of peeps out there who haven’t contributed yet though!!!

Let’s reinvigorate this thread… c’mon folks…

WHERE DOES YOUR USERNAME COME FROM???

Or, alternatively….

What would you change your username to if you changed it?

Once again, I’ll go first!

I would probably change it to “Acoustic Al” because I can’t seem to get a decent sound out of any electric guitar & Al is short for my middle name!!!

Oh, we can revive the guessing game too… my middle name is a bit unusual… can anyone guess it?

Tod

[oztelemann]

Mine should be obvious really. My first electric guitar was a tele and I’m a fan of that guitar form. I used to learn classical music so I thought a pun on Georg Philipp Telemann would be fun. And I am from Australia.

[CATMAN62]

Cool !!!
But why do they call the Land Down Under “Oz”?
Always wondered about that!

Tod

[JokuMuu]

Al… Tod, it can only be Alfons, right?

In my case the choice of an alternative username is easy. I have experienced so much luck lately, when things turned out to be okay. So it would have to be: Onni

“Onni” is Finnish and means luck.

[CATMAN62]

Alfons???

Nope. Try again!!!

Tod

PS I like Onni!!!

[JokuMuu]

Alberto?

[oztelemann]

@CATMAN62

why do they call the Land Down Under “Oz”?

I guess it comes from “Aussie” which is a shorthand term (Australians abbreviate everything because we are essentially very lazy). And if you can’t be bothered saying Aussie then you shorten it further to Oz.

Sorry, this long explanation has exhausted me. I have to go and get a beer now.

[CATMAN62]

Alberto???
Too… Mediterranean!!!

Give it one more try Onni!!!

Tod

[CATMAN62]

READING your explanation has exhausted me… I’ll join you!!!

Tod

[Helen0609]

I would join you too, but it’s 9 am and therefore too early for a beer.
Namewise I vote for Angus Ian !

[JokuMuu]

Okay… Okay… Hmmm… Alain?

[JokuMuu]

Wait… If that’s not an “L” but an “I” then… it surely must be Aidan?
