AB usernames

[zgma]

Anyone have an interesting explanation for your username? I don't know if it's against site etiquette to ask, but I am curious.

[Lindy Loo]

After L V Beethoven. I have a theory about Andy Hughes user name. I reckon his real name is J.Zorgle McSporran so he's had to invent a normal sounding name for his AB user. Come on Andy, own up.

[WaldoMcFroog]

Actually, my real name is J.Zorgle McSporran. Well, let's face it, it's not much more stupid than Waldo McFroog...

[IndieSinger]

Copper knob, Copper knob, Copper knob, Copper knob... *tee hee*

[secretspirit]

I was just feeling a bit dippy hippy when I picked mine, which isn't like me at all!

[Robinia]

I was talking to a lovely little 3yr old on the phone, who's now my step-granddaughter, & I heard my son whisper to her "Say something, she can't hear you nodding". Obviously mis-hearing she shouted "Hello Noddy!". So that's me -grandma Noddy!

[nicola_red]

It's just my nickname, cos I have bright red hair. Nothing more exciting than that.

[MissCommando]

Need you ask!? lol

[Closer]

Because AB wouldn't let me have CloserThanMost (which is my usual online identity)

[hertz]

mine is short for my full name - Hertz van Rental

[enigma]

This is a bit sad really. I had been watching teletubbies with my baby Holly and was listening to Toyah Wilcox's voice (You know , the bit where she says "Over the hills and far away ... blah de blah ")and was thinking to myself that it was a bit sad that she had been reduced to being the voice of a rather naff toddlers programme. Anyway , I put Holly down for her afternoon nap and grabbed the chance to go online for a while. I stumbled upon Answerbank and was desperately trying to think of a clever user name , something inspirational,perhaps even deeply profound.Unfortunately , after sitting through a full teletubbies video and trying to sound enthusiastic about "The lady with the crown " , a dancing teddy bear and barely containing my surprise at Laa Laa's discovery of a door , my brain had well and truly melted and all I could think about was Toyah Wilcox's song "It's a mystery" to which Enigma popped in to my head. God I need to get out more !!! It's a sad state of affairs when you know what time of day it is by what's on CBeebies !!!

[brawburd]

because I am!

[clarabel82]

Some of my family have called me Clarabel since I was little and 1982 is the year I was born (original) Yay Fakeplastic, I was wondering when I saw your post in the items on your desk bit if you were a Radiohead fan and now you are :)

[SKCOLL]

My initials and my first home.

[hertz]

It's a shortened version of my full name - Hertz van Rental

[SKCOLL]

Does entries make it MegaHertz?

[The Ponderer]

Because I'm the type of guy who can never settle down , they call me the Ponderer , I'm the Ponderer , I ponder round and round and round and round !

[Yinzer]

Didi you get the job secretsquiz?? One of the major idiosyncrasies of my city is everyone's use of the word "Yinz" to address more than one person. "See yinz tomorrow." And outsiders call us "yinzers" with as much reverence as they might call westerners "rednecks".

[zgma]

I wondered about that Yinzer, or if your name meant something else. Glad I guessed right!

[Yinzer]

What's that "something else"? What if you had guessed wrong? Is it vile or offensive?? Do tell!!
