Names

[Herlock Sholmes]

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

[Abby Normal]

I’ve often wondered where some posters names come from? Some are obvious - my own, Wickerman, Dupin, Fisherman for example but some aren’t.

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.....

[Losmandris]

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.

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
