[Hellybee]

Just my initials HB

[Tamsaddle]

Tamsaddle because I used to breed Tamworths and Saddlebacks, which I miss dreadfully now that I have given up keeping pigs.   For some unknown reason, I always imagined "Daisy", as in Daisy's Mum, was a pig, not a jack russell!

[Foobar]

Foobar - means absolutely nothing at all. It even has a wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar


I work in computing, and understanding the risks of the internet and for the sake of privacy I chose this name so that it in no way reflects or suggests any information about my actual self.  Sorry to be so dull.

[benkt]

Mine's fairly straight forward, when I got my first 'proper' user account at the start of my PhD on a cluster of old Dec Alphas and Sun Ultras, the usual naming convention was first name+initial of surname, but some one decided I wouldn't want to be called 'bent' so stuck my middle initial in there and I've been benkt online ever since.

[Clansman]

I'm Scottish and I have a clan 

[Louise Gaunt]

I was totally unoriginal and now I realise, a bit formal using both my first and surname. My Ravelry name is Knotsonsticks, as that is what my family call my knitting, so with Dan's permission, I think I might can age in here as well to Knotsonsticks.

[Victorian Farmer]

Victorian  farmer the name is about me. When I started farming I liked the old way of farming. So when some one said you're like the victorians I used the name.. I think the victorians were the best farmers after the war farmers kept the country  going. Whot they would make of the EU I don't no.

It doesn't mean nothing at all; I'm afraid on this occasion Wiki is wrong!

In the 70s and 80s it was widely used in computing and derived from FUBAR, which I think we pinched from the army, and meant F**d Up Beyond All Recognition (or Repair) 

So I've always wondered why you'd chosen it as a username 

The one we used to really mean nothing was 'xyzzy', which was one of the magic words in the orginal (and in my view, still the best) text-based Adventure game.  (Called ADVENT because we only had 6 charcacters for file names.  And no lowercase.  lol)

[SallyintNorth]

OK, what about Coximus and Big Light?

And kingnigel - hope it's nothing to do with 'aagh I just tripped over the 'king cat'.  Sorry

And we should hear from [member=25919]HappyHippy[/member] too

[kingnigel]

just because really, no other reason, when i joined this forum i needed a name and earlier that day a guy from work called me "the king" because i own a small amount of land. i think the nigel bit is obvious.

You (or any other member) don't need my permission! You can change your display name here, but please bear in mind the disorientation it will cause some other members:

Your username (i.e. the name you sign in with) can't be easily changed.

[Possum]

My father's nickname for me when I was a child. (He was brought up in New Zealand)

[Ghdp]

Ghdp. Oh dear how dull. They are my initials. I think I am going to say it is now 'great handsome daring person' but Mrs ghdp would never let me get away with that.

[paddy1200]

I used to own an FJ 1200 which i called Paddy, ( it's a motorbike )

In this case it means nothing at all, regardless of the derivation of the word.  If I was fubar I would have spelt it correctly.
