What's in a name?

[Tony]

Hey all
Now with some of the names in here it is quite easy to guess the origin, like mine or rickthebrew etc.

On the other hand there are names like muddydisco. Now until the weekend and while having a conversation in the chat room, I thought MD ran a nightclub in an old cowshed I know better now

So .. would anyone care to explain the reasoning behind their name, or just share their real name?

I'll start

My name is Tony

 

[BarnsleyBrewer]

[Moley]

My real name's Adrian.

Wife-to-be was reading Adrian Mole when we first met and it just stuck.

I've never particularly liked my real name and rarely use it in full, so I was quite glad to get rid of it.

 

[Hawks]

My name is Paul,

this one just came from another userid, its not clever or funny I just struggle to remember too many... :wha:

 

[unclepumble]

Real Name Shane

Unclepumble is a shortening of Unclepumblechook, who is a Charles Dickens character from I think Great Expectations.

I use it because its pretty unused by anyone else on the net & I don't have to think of something new every time I need to sign up to something on the internet.
