Explain your name...

[stevo///m3]

There are some weird and wonderful names on this Forum - I mean the screen names/member name as opposed to your real life name. Thread open to anyone for two purposes: (1) very happy to see those with quirky screen names perhaps shed a bit of light on why they chose their name and (2) specific requests for member's to explain their names - it's a two-way thread.

Thread prompted by an appreciation that my screen name doesn't hold many secrets or need a great deal of explanation and also coming across a few explanations recently. Sumpcracker I remember; Worcester Spoon was only partially explained. Shed loads of others I'd be happy hearing about...

Maybe Taz could start?...

[Marlon]

This is a great idea

Mine’s a bit complex so bear with me.
I’ve been writing a book for over 4 years, and decided that my pen name would be Marlon C Romnic (which is an anagram of my real name).
Anyway, when I joined the forum I thought I’d use Marlon. And for my avatar I found a quirky pic of Marlon (Brando) from the under-rated 1976 Western ‘The Missouri Breaks’.

[Roundozo]

Roundozo - because my surname is Round and when I made a Google email account many, many moons ago I liked the Greek drink Ouzo. I did however fail to spell it correctly and its stuck with me ever since. Used this screen name for 10 or more years now!

[Liam-O]

First name "Liam", surname initial "O". Boring I know, but it makes the forum meets easier, I still see people who I only know by their forum name.
