legless · « **Reply #5 on:** April 26, 2005, 19:30:17 »

in 1999 i went to the british grand prix with a load of people i met on a formula one forum. i wore those trousers that zip off to make shorts and earned the nickname legless because of that. i use it everywhere on the net now.

By the way Lankylass I used to live in Lancaster, where groups of lads on a Saturday would roam the streets shouting Lanky Lanky Lancaster. Imagine my mates joy when they re4membered I am from Doncaster. Donkey........ ;D :D

It was a motorcycle name that I owned at the time of joining, I should change it to electroglide now.

Anne Robertson · « **Reply #8 on:** April 26, 2005, 19:35:05 »

And there was me thinking you permanently walked around with a drink in your hand, legless ;D

Ceri · « **Reply #9 on:** April 26, 2005, 20:13:41 »

mine would be er...welll.... Ceri!

It's unusual enough that it doesn't get kicked off as described by wattapain - great name by the way! I'd only forget a made up name anyway

honeybee · « **Reply #12 on:** April 26, 2005, 21:09:27 »

Well i always use my mums name Mollie as my username but for some reason i changed my name on this board as i wanted something more befitting ;D

foxyglove · « **Reply #13 on:** April 26, 2005, 21:12:36 »

Well I checked out all the other names before I chose one. There was Rhoda Dendron, Too Lip etc. I thought we had to be flowers - hence Foxy Glove! :-*

Roy Bham UK · « **Reply #14 on:** April 26, 2005, 21:24:30 »

;D Well I guess I was lucky that there wasn't anyone from Birmingham with the name Roy that lived in the UK 8)

simhop · « **Reply #15 on:** April 26, 2005, 22:10:39 »

Hi - my name is made up of the first three letters of first and last name. First used wayback when signing up for yahoo email and is now my username everywhere.

Wicker · « **Reply #16 on:** April 26, 2005, 23:18:14 »

Mine is because I originally hail from Wick (tho people from there would pronounce it Weeker!)

Doris_Pinks · « **Reply #17 on:** April 26, 2005, 23:36:24 »

The person that taught me all my gardening and was my godmother and aunt to boot was called Doris, so I picked the name in honour of her!

Gadfium · « **Reply #18 on:** April 27, 2005, 00:19:00 »

Gadfium is one of the characters' names in an Iain M Banks book.

My real name is generally unavailable as an e-mail/registration possibility; so long, long ago... I became a 'Gadfium' for no better reason than I liked the sound of it!

:)

Amazin · « **Reply #19 on:** April 27, 2005, 00:19:41 »

Mine's based on my wit, charm, style, intelligence, phenomenal strength of character and sparkling personality...

...or maybe just my first name
