Just wondering, where does your forum username come from?

I'm sure many, like mine, are just their name. Or perhaps business name. But what about the others?
 
My nickname is chalker ( sounds like Walker) I use that username on the tiling forum, so it's chalked on here

When I came firing out my mums @&£)(;: She said to my father let's call him Kris, So that's my birth name lol
 
Mine is hugely creative. Basically when I registered croft was already taken. My surname is Ashcroft and so it's a clever abbreviation of my surname that happened to be available at the time.

I wish there was a more exciting story behind it but unfortunately not.

Croft might be available now if you want to change it?
 
I recall I only took a couple of seconds to decide on my username. I just thought something that would denote quality, (as with quality work).
With hindsight it makes me appear arrogant, but too late now and it is only 4 letters to type. 🙂

I can change your username if you ever fancy it mate. 🙂
Not sure 'Good' has quite the same ring to it, but same amount of letters for sure. 😛

Because I can wipe a joint, leadburn and boss lead, an old plumber ( past retirement age), in the local merchant always says " here he is, The last plumber" every time I see him.

The fact that It's once in a blue moon I work with lead anymore is irrelevant, I think I'm just the youngest person he knows who can still do it.
 
Its from my name Stan, however I do get called Dan and Sam a lot. Sometimes customers start calling me Sam even after a few jobs of me as Stan. One pensioner kept repeating "Dan?" after asking for my name and getting the answer repeatedly, eventually he gave up and just said "I've got a cousin called Dan"
