I'm intrigued by the Australian aborigines. Your ancestors travelled from Africa. The African tribes look different from each other, but your people and those of New Guinea all look similar, so presumably you come from one tribe. Plus, the language is similar to Swahili. There is obviously a story to tell.
Hope you're not offended by my comments?

 

[MarciKS]

I just mixed my real name with my middle name. I slapped the KS (Kansas) on it because most places online have a Marci already.

 

[Lara]

There was already a male member at the time named Laurie

 

[old medic]

Well been in Certified EMT since 78, worked as a Paramedic since 86...

 

[Lewkat]

My initials are LEW and I just added Kat to it for the heck of it. Those are my birth initials, but my baptismal initials are MLETW. Mary,Lois,Evalena,Therese Winters. I always simply used my birth name.

I love the word Mob used here as tribe or team or people, I assume.

 

[Mr. Ed]

My name is Edward hence Mr. Ed

yup and he's still here posting occasionally... I like the name 'Lara' tho' very pretty like it's owner...

 

[horseless carriage]

Forum names can be a great source of amusement. When I was searching for something original I came across a lady who was a lawyer. She called herself, Laura Norder, (Law & Order) and she referred to her husband as Orlin, (All in Order) very droll.

My name simply stems from a love of old cars, but I love lots of other vintage things too.

 

[Camper6]

The idea behind a member name is to be anonymous. So if you give the reason you lose your anonymity. Why does anyone want to know?

 

[Lara]

...One that I used years ago on a forum was sikofants.....that took a while for people to get their head around

well, if "sikofants" is an anagram then all I can make of it is "sofa stink"
Sorry about that holly So do tell...I guess I can't get my head around it either

 

[Kathleen’s Place]

My real name is Kathleen but have always gone by Kathy or Kate. So I always thought I would go by Kathleen when I got older. Jump to today, and I am indeed older so thought I would try the name out here. But you know what? I hate it! All of my friends call me Kate and this Kathleen business just feels phone to me.

My goodness but they gave you a lot of names at Baptism!!! Is there a story behind that???
Our red headed son,who is so proud of his Irish heritage on my side, hated it that our last name didn’t sound Irish. So when his son’s were born they gave them a first name, a middle name, and added on another initial of O. So they are
Sean Robert O (last name) and
Connor James O (last name)

 

[moviequeen1]

[Chet]

It was just a name I picked out of the air for no specific reason other than being short and a male. The avatar because Pitt happened to be on TV playing a game.

 

[charry]

My youngest grandsons.......charlie and harry.........Charry........

 

[JimBob1952]

We used to make jokes about the names on the TV show The Waltons. That's how I became JimBob. 1952, unsurprisingly, is the year of my birth.
