My parents named me Derek, but always called me Dez. Surname begins with B.
Stems from when I signed up to AOL years ago (duh, 1999) and needed a unique name - so dezb99. Dropped the 99 as STW was easier to find a unique name on.
Quite simple really so surprised I managed to drag this post out so long. I did think of a good username for my mate who signed up - Donkey Puncture - you know after Donkey Punch and a common mtb problem for those who don't run tubeless...

Named after a small stuffed polar bear. Who had a house. Actually it was an emporium. Which sold stuff.

I'm not sure how to explain that in any way that'd make sense.

It's Scots Gaelic for magician or wizard. My daughter used to believe I was one when I did slight of hand tricks for her.

The name crops up across Scotland in places like Aviemore - the Allt Druidh - and gives Inverdruie its name too.

my first name is Adam and my surname begins with G, but for some reason I couldn't get that user name approved...? Before my time, possibly.

So, my fave band Shriekback did a brilliant track called 'my spine is the bassline', and I used that to make my name for one of my CDs and I've used it for several email accounts, just recycled it again.

Still giggling at

'Biscuit' is stretching it a bit. Stale elephant bollock, more like.
by the way

I've played guitar since I was 15 and in my my first band the bass player called my distorted sound "greasy" and as my real name is Graham, the two came together. 25 years later and the name still sticks 🙂

Sometimes I'm one, most of the time I'm the other and occasionally I'm both. Mainly stems from years of enduro motorbiking and a KTM which suffered from this.

I got sent a poem, with the comment "Remind you of anyone?"

ESME ON HER BROTHER'S BICYCLE
One foot on, one foot pushing, Esmé starting off beside
Wheels too tall to mount astride,
Swings the off leg forward featly,
Clears the high bar nimbly, neatly,
With a concentrated frown
Bears the upper pedal down
As the lower rises, then
Brings her whole weight round again,
Leaning forward, gripping tight,
With her knuckles showing white,
Down the road goes, fast and small,
Never sitting down at all.
(by Russell Hoban)

I definitely do the frown and the white knuckles, but I'm not sure about "nimbly" or "neatly" - or even "featly"

I was anabaena on the old forum but I thought that if you're going to be named after a cyanobacteria, nostoc is a better one.

Because I'm old, irritable, and on my bike a bit of a duffer compared with what I would like to be capable of. Oh and amongst my mates I'm the one who generally does the ride organisation

Phonetic spelling of the initials of my maiden name. Do boys have maiden names? What's the male equivalent? Knight-in-shining-armour-name?
