Story behind the mask

[bigbadwolf]

Hello East Dulwich. I've been using this forum for a while now and I'm often pleasantly surprised at how creative people can be when creating their usernames. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be interested in hearing some of the background and history to your assumed identities so lets hear them.

[Ladygooner]

Lady - that bit is obvious! Gooner = Arsenal supporter

[Michael Palaeologus]

Michael Palaeologus = Venerable words from the God-like one.

Bow down and tremble.

From Wikipedia:

Michael Palaeologus (died 1156) was an early member of the great family of the Palaeologi, which later ruled the Byzantine Empire. He was a general of the emperor Manuel I Comnenus (1143?1180). The general was known as a womanizer and a drunkard; he was rumored to have over fifty mistresses.

Thatsmaboy!

[Jah Lush]

Hi Bigbadwolf, are you really a good little doggie?

[TillieTrotter]

Tillie Trotter, Catherine Cookson books. My aunt and uncle used to call me it when I were a little girl. Boring really!

[Tony.London Suburbs]

I'm Tony from The London Suburbs and ingenously used that as my Username::o

[ratty]

I look like a fooking rat

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Actually Ratty's real name is Rod Ent whistle and he just abbreviated it.:))

[mockney piers]

Should be 'sticks piers' really as not of London but live here, so a bit of a mockney frankly.

Originally created for the thisislondon forums (horrible place, steer well clear), thence to flickr and finally here.

Err that's it I'm afraid.

[Brendan]

St Brendan invented America, apparently, for those who believe it and none do to be frank. I didn?t want to be Frank.

[LuvPeckham]

Erm

I don't know really.....except maybe I do B)

[Mogs]

Mogs - Surname Morgan - But now Dunn - But I prefer Morgan

[david_carnell]

Errr....

[Ant]

I like co-operative insects.

[Applespider]

Mine's the English translation of my surname - nothing to do with a love of either apples or spiders although I quite like both.

[Izodia]

Mine's an imaginary country where I am the Queen.

[mockney piers]

great name Applespider.

I so hope you're spanish Do?a Maria Manzana-Ara?a Gonzalez.

Cooooooooool

[SeanMacGabhann]

Sean MacGabhann = straightforward Irish translation of m'English name

[Keef]

Mine's totally obvious, but have been spelling like that since I was in a band when I was about 15, and the guy who did the inlay to a demo listed "Bass - The Keef". Nothing to do with Keith Richards, although he is a God!

[lozzyloz]

My mistake. Should've been lazzyloz but I kant spel.

Sadly not although I'm tempted to use that as a Facebook name should I ever sign up!

[bigbadwolf]

No I'm quite a well behaved mutt Jah lush but my username has little to do with dogs. I work as a demolitions expert and people say I'm like the big bad wolf from the 3 little pigs story as I essentially huff and puff and after asbestos abatement survey and engineering reports come in I blow your house down.

[lozzyloz]

How much to blow up Foxtons?

[????]

My name is Sterling

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

Glen Campbell No relation,no Cowboy boots and darn it no horse.
