Posted:I was first called Spanner by my friends in year 8 when I was 12. It's inevitably the first rhyme of Anna people call me by so it's stuck, but I'm happy with it.

you are nice woman.

JoKoPo is a nickname I acquired while in a canoe somewhere in Center Parcs, weirdly enough. DOn't remember exactly how it came about but was something to do with a joke about cowboys n native americans.

DeletePosted:I have a couple of nicknames, but this is one I used to use years ago 'cos it was the name of an album I liked. Resurrected it because it feels comfy and 'poly' sounds normal if people can't remember my actual name (flid said how being greeted as 'flid' at clapham was weird!)
The optimist claims that we are living in the best of all possible worlds.
The pessimist fears this is true.

Posted:mine's an anagram of nudsoaw which is a mythical city in my small intestine. I couldn't tell you this before because I thought you'ld all think I was crazy so I disguised the true meaning of my name. Those who know names have power you know. As for stage names I was known as alias but dropped it when that bad american T.V series came out. Now I kinda like badly burnt boy, people can identify it with some-band or some-thing I think. I recently changed my name by depol to National Park World Heritage Listed Area Newton but every one chooses to ignore my cries for spiritual inlightnment and still call me smelly, but seriosly I am just an illegitament russian bastard, but my name means customs officer in french.

Posted:well, if anyone is from australia, or knows of the surf-brand mambo, then you will know how wacked out their t-shirt and advertising art is. but the long and short of it is that i collected some of them out of a few surfing mags, and it was either this or fart_in_a_bottle, which has a nice ring, but not quite as funny, if i can ever be bothered i'll post a pic of the actual ad on here, or in a photo gallery when i work out how o make the size smaller, to show everyone the origins.
The weekend has landed, all that exists now is clubs, drugs, pubs and parties, I got 48 hours off from the world. This could be the best night of my life, I've got 73 quid in my backburner and I'm gonna wax the lot, man.THE MILKY BARS ARE ON ME!!

Posted:Bump for aaaaaaall the newbs 
UCOF, originally stood for "the United Chains Of Fire" which was the name of the fire spinning group I was/ am in.
The name has since become synonimous with me, rather than us, after UCOF Chris stopped posting here.
Then I got bored with it, but seeing as people still called and still call me UCOF, I thought I would keep the UCOF letters, and make up a new name along those lines.
Hence the name changes, which happen when I can be bothered.

There are lots of myths and legends about the origins of my monaker.
There is a theory that it is a natural transition from Katie...Katieboo.
The other is that when I was little, my nickname was BumbleBee - because I bumbled around and buzzed about - that got shortened eventually to Bum. Nice, eh?
When I hit puberty, apparently, my bum was not the most obvious part of my anatomy, and the name changed accordingly...and was shortened again.
I don't honestly remember.
But I always get asked and it really stumps me.

If it costs "a penny for your thoughts", but people give you their "two-pence worth", who is getting the extra penny?
Posted:So, this is going to sound really stupid.
1.) My real name is Kathryn. Ask my Mum and she never wanted that, but she won't let me be called by anything but that.
2.) My friends in high school dropped it down to "Kat" because it sounded too formal
3.) I worked at GARF for three years. My first year, I developed a stalker, who knew me only as "Kat."
4.) After that freaked the hell out of me, I decided it was time to either change names and move to another state, or just adopt a false name for fair. "Kathain" came out of an angry discussion about this..... and.... admittedly.... the Witchblade tv series.
5.) When I needed to dodge out a sticky situation with another potential stalker at GARF..... again, and he was asking for a last name, we were strolling past the Archery Booth. "Bow."
6.) And, in a Peter Griffen quality move from Family Guy, I added "en" to the end so it sounded official and put on my best smile.
Kathain Bowen.
Other aliases: equusk (latin for Horse.. and obvious), k@, Kitty, Kate, Katie, PyroSlinky (a friend of mine wanted to give me a nickname involving the word Slinky), FyreFox, and, as you can see by my title : Good Ol' Yarn For Hair.

Posted:people started calling me m monkey man because I climbed and looked like one 
and when I started saying monkey in a funny accent it came out sounding like minkey so used the welsh (from gorkys zygotic mynci) for monkey (also a big fan of the great sage) loads of other stuff too but that'll do
thus I settled for monkey spelt Mynci and monkeys have tails

Posted:My name is Sam, but most of my mates call me Sambo, hence the first bit.
Apart from the spinning, I'm also a bit of a dance producer, and go under the name State Of Flux as a musician. That comes from an interest in complexity theory and the idea that everything is constantly changing and evolving, in a state of flux.
Hence, Sambo Flux.

Posted:Not too exciting. I drink a lot of espresso, and I like alliteration.
It was either that or "FireCrotch," which my friends back home called me after they saw me spin and do leg wraps. And I thought that might not make for the best of introductions. (or maybe it would do exactly that...)

Posted:My name is Lois, and my friends used to call me Lu (they tried Lo, but it's silly to call a tall person Lo and it used to bug me). A boyfriend at the time changed Lu to Blu and it just stuck. The valley part comes from a festival I used to go to in South Africa...It was Blue of the Valley, and it just got shortened to Blu Valley

Posted:I was pronounced the Tea Fairy years ago by my best friend whom I was working with. It was largely inspired by how fussy I am about my own tea and the fact that I ended up making tea for everyone in the office, even those in different departments. If I made an extra cup by mistake, or put sugar in when I didn't mean to, the tea would not be wasted but would end up randomly on someone's desk when they weren't looking.
Oh, and I do make an absolutely smashing cup of tea!

Posted:well Clavey is my surname and has been my nickname for years because there was more than one lianne in my year at school plus another couple we used to hang around with.
The burning of the Clavie is a festival carried out in burghead (up north east way of scotland) in january to celebrate the new year. the Clavie itself is a half barrel filled with tar and woodchips. The barrel is nailed onto a carrying post - the same nail is ritually used every year - which is hoisted onto the shoulders of a local villager, then lit, with tradition by a peat from the hearth of the burghead provost...
Each of the ten or so men (traditionally fishermen) take it in turn to carry the burning clavie clockwise around the streets of Burghead, occasionally stopping at the houses of former upper clsas villagers to present an ember of the clavie in the doorway for good luck for the year.
The men proceed to the stone altar of an old fort on the ancient Doorie Hill, then they relight the clavie there. The flaming embers are snatched up by onlookers and used to kindle a special New Year fire at home or are kept for luck
so thats where my names from.
