Dominic

So on a mediterranean holiday I asked a local how he got his unusual name ...............
He looked around and pointed to a little village in the valley below
" You see those roofs ......I built them all "......but do they call me' Pedro the roofer "......"NO"
"you see all those Olive trees ......I planted them all "......but do they call me Pedro the Olive-Planter "NO"
"now, you see all those graves in the cemetery......I dug every single one ".....do they call me Pedro the Grave-digger ....No
But just ONE lousy Goat I fucked..........................

No regrets.

fandango

After a Floyd song ... maybe ... maybe not ... then I thought of Zero the Hero (after some Gong lyrics on the 'You' album), but then maybe not. Hey, I like Zappa, so surely after a song in his catalogue would work? Sigh, he wrote too many great songs with great titles. Well ... how about after one of his albums? Yellow Shark or The Grand Wazoo or Thing Fish? Maybe..... maybe not.

I could devote hours to answering this most benign of questions, and probably and eventually come to the conclusion that fandango is okay. Even if I'm not necessarily a ZZ Top fan or a ballroom dancer or Spanish.

However, I wouldn't mind capitalising the first letter, thus: Fandango.

EricTheWeary

As my actual name isn't Eric when I've met the odd forum member ( sometimes very odd...) I've struggled to know wether to say I am Eric or Eric The Weary or my actual name or just start with a convoluted explanation. So I either should have gone with something that included my real name or something clearly not a name. However, as between here and musicradar and one or two other places I've been Eric online for such a long time...sorry, what was the question? 

not_the_dj

I'm still not a DJ....but I think my namesake is....so all good here.

I have exactly the same problem as I’m not called Adam.  It gets a little tedious to explain it everytime which in itself is a little frustrating and I’m sure no one responds to a pm from @stickyfiddle with “wait your name’s not Sticky? Why?”  

Its an old screen name which I’ve had for 20 years now so don’t see the point in trying to change it.

Should be a forum amnesty, hand in your old tired boring id and get a nice new interesting one

munckee

Yeah I could be Goliath or Kong the Hunter....

munckee is my nickname for my wife as in the Johnny Vegas tea advert "I luv you munckee" (so for those who meet me it needs to be pronounced in a northern accent) I use it for various things so when asked to sign up I couldn't think of anything else.

I'd change it to OneWordDan and have fun only responding to posts in single word confab

Yeah?

Guitar_Slinger

Wouldn't change it. I nearly signed up to Intermusic with an ID I used in motorbike chatrooms - remember them? That was Real Leather... although that would still be relevant as I wore my leather pants to ride in this morning.

With hindsight I'd probably gone with something more anonymous, it just seemed logical to use the name I was christened with. Parents can be cruel.
