    Cheers Azarna, I always thought that your name sounded like one from a fantasy novel

      Does anyone want to enlighten me/us without giving anything away that you don’t want to of course?
      Mine comes from Young Frankenstein and was the name of my band back in the day, and since i came up with the name, it subsequently became one of my nick names in certain circles.

        Mr Normal, you’ve escaped.

        Good to see you back Abby

        Young Frankenstein was great. I can never hear “Puttin’ On The Ritz” without thinking of it.

          Mine is pretty self explanatory and mundane!

          As an animal lover I always tend to pick up on any feline or canine reference.

          It also gave me the opportunity to use a pic of my beautiful and beloved cat in my profile picture.

          On reading some of the other posts, I kinda wish I'd picked something a bit more imaginative.

          Yeah, Anonymous Bosch is an absolute belter!!

            Nice cat Ms D

            Obviously there’s an x-rated version of the above which I’ll avoid of course

                      I started to write Steven as that’s my first name. Then I thought. There’s millions of Stevens. I had a quick look around.....

                        When trying to finish a particularly tricky psychology essay back in my student days, I was doodling rather absent mindlessly on a note pad and for for some unknown reason I wrote Losmandris?, I have absolutely no idea why but rather like the word, so for he past 20 odd years have adopted it as an online alias.

                        Tristan
                        Best wishes,

                        Tristan

                          It’s as good a reason as any Tristan. Maybe you were called Losmandris in a previous life.

                            Quite possibly? Still baffles me to this day!

                              Nice. My wife is called Frances. I decided this is too complicated for me, so I always called her Frankie. She was studying Neurology and one day came home with soiled shoes from dissecting a human body in class. Since then, I refer to her as "Dr. Frankiestein" from time to time. Seems to have caught on with my daughter too
