Where does your username come from?

… which sounds like some alcohol and / or a cleaning product? :thinking: No wonder that Tod chose to keep the name secret …

Alex?

Didn’t we have a quite similar quiz with the @TheMadman_tobyjenner, who isn’t a Toby, as he told us… was it ever solved?

Lets see…

Nicole… Nope.
Toby… Uh Uh.
James… Ummm, No.
Andrea… Not even close.

We didn’t solve Toby’s question, he took mercy on us & gave the answer about where his nickname Toby. Came from but we still don’t know his real name.

Here’s another hint…
My middle name is the first name of a very famous big band musician from the 30s & 40s… but he apparently didn’t like it either because he went by his middle name….

Toby @TheMadman_tobyjenner should be able to figure this one out!

Tod

Is there also another famous historical person with that name, we don’t want to remember as he had started the 2nd WW :see_no_evil:?

Nein!

It isn’t that name… besides, was he a musician? My namesake was a VERY talented, famous musician!!!

Tod

Gotcha! It’s Alton, right? :smiley:

Cheers - Beenie :stuck_out_tongue:

You win!!! Sorry there’s no actual prize other than knowing that you figured it out!
Was it my last hint?
Tod from Disney’s The Fox & the Hound was my mother’s inspiration for my 1st name.
Alton Glenn Miller was my middle name’s origin!
Good job Beenie!!! :grin:

Ho
I copy past this from the site of a band called SAMAEL.
One of the bands of my life.
I think this answers to the question of the topic.
ā€œā€¦when brother Vorphalack (Guitar & Vocal) and Xytraguptor (drums) moved their musical gear undergroundā€¦ā€

Mine comes from my 7th grade year when my teacher accidently called me bacob, and now that’s used more than my real name. Even though I’m now in high school.

Hey, that’s cool! :sunglasses:
What a noob the teacher was (do you use ā€œnoobā€? My grandkids do all the time!)
OK, Bacob it is from now on my young friend!

Tod

Thank you Tod, and yes I still use that term lol. Your name seems a bit more thought out and interesting, however.

Borrowed Wishbone Ash’s ā€˜Argus’ from my musically cool uncle’s equally cool record collection back in '84 and have been hooked ever since.
