Title: Why The Name??????
Post by: Squealey on 18 February 2010, 16:56:07
Why have many of you chosen the name you have on this forum. I know there are loads that are self explainatary but theres also loads that aren't.

Personally, my nickname has been Squealey with my mates since I was about 21 and came about because of a stag do, some strippers, my belt and my bare botty ;D ;D

My surname is Healey and it just became a natural progression.

Ddraigcymro because Ddraiggymro I felt had to many g`s ;D

But originated from registering on a poker website where i was looking for a sharp name, unfortunately it was taken so translation was Ddraigcymro well DdraigGymro to be grammatically right but didn't like the look of the two g`s. If you come across my name online somewhere else there's a good chance its me as it has stuck ever since. :y

Used to be Methuselah on a game forum, 'cos I was the oldest one there by a long way.  Then I joined another forum, but there was already a Methuselah there.  I remembered that "Methuselah" was also a champagne bottle size, and opted for another of the same - hence "jereboam".  It's more commonly spelled as "Jeroboam", but I don't care.  I've stuck with the name through several forums now.  I've forgotten my real name... :)

Jeroboam was the first king of the Northern tribes of Israel.  And 4 bottles, before you ask. :)

I'm pedroMV6 cos they made me start again.
I used to be Pedro (as I am on other VX forums), but one day last year, the site died and I had to re-register.
I was informed that there was already a Pedro, (no shit Sherlock - it was me!) so I went for the easy option and had to think for a while...........my name - Pete, Dad and most peeps that know me call me Pedro and I drive an MV6. Hmmm, I wonder................no, surely not!
But wait...yes, I know, Pete Omega! :D
Err, nope, don't like that one. ;D
