What's in a name?

[yourbank]

This is an old thread of mine somewhere, god knows where but this is my nosey curiosity thread about usernames. I love seeing many names on the forum, but is there a story behind it that you want to divulge?

 

Yourbank, is RBS name for Staff offers. Google yourbankrbs and you will see the link.

Over to you for a more interesting story......

My user name is quite simple. Its made up of the first initial from my names, T & C.

[Rooster-UK]

The first computer that I had was a Sinclair ZX81, upgraded shortly after to a ZX Spectrum.

A favourite game we used to play on it was "Chucky-Egg". Myself and my stepsons used to try and outdo each other with high scores.

On the high-score scoreboard, my youngest stepson was "Egg", followed by "Chicken" and the eldest stepson was "Bantam". I used the name "Rooster". The name stuck and I have been using it ever since.

Ahve bin, ah say, ahve bin a Rooster fer over 25 years. :lol:

[Robdblynd]

Mine is self-explanatory too ................ this is what Abbey did to me over a period of 8 years with their unlawful charges.

[GuidoT]

My middle initial is G, but it does not stand for Guido.

 

When I was around seventeen I thought it would be amusing to tell my work colleagues that Guido was middle name (who knows why). I showed them my payslip and it showed a G, thus to everyones mind confirming that I am Guido.

 

If anybody remembers there was a gay character in Eastenders at the time and for whatever reason that was my inspiration, not that I considered him a kindred spirit or anything like that.

 

The name stuck; stuck hard. I was at that firm for 10 years and people even thought that was my first name. To this day I have still have a group of friends who use Guido as my first name.

 

People remember you when you have an odd name, my real first name is not very memorable.
