I thought of mine after watching a film from the states called rubber tramps . It was a film about ppl living out of need in vehicles of all type. As i have a landrover i just put the landy in front on rubber tramps . Landy is the well know shorten version of Landrover in th world of 4x4. I was on here the other day tho and noticed someone had a name rubber tramp. Im sorry about that if i had know i would have used another username. hopefully it will not confuse anyone

Mines easy, fofeg = Geoff and 101 = binary maths = IT = Computers = Cyberspace.
 
not especially good with computers,memory not what it was, so i thought i would choose something i"m not likely to forget, born and lived in god"s own county all my life. By the way good idea for a post, i must admit i"ve been curious about some usernames.
 
My younger sister couldn't say lisa so I was always seesa - it's carried on and her kids call me seesa too - on fb I'm seesa wilde (after kim, oscar, camping and the occasional night out with the girls)
 
I have been on a bike forum for quite a few years, and obviously own and ride a BMW.

Many many years ago my brother was listening to Stanley Unwin doing "Goldiloppers and the Three Bears" and he started calling me Teffiloppers (my name is Stephanie). My family have called me Teffy ever since. I really like "Mandrake" - cool name.

what we shortened our names to (Lesley & Terry). It's stuck ever since.....Simples!
Now how our dog got the name Marmite, needs no explanation! :)
 
Working in the Royal Navy you normaly get cool or just plane stupid names, but mine is less inventive as it's my last name with a Y added, not very exciting I know.

I was called Squelch at school after having a nasty case of the runs and not making the loo in time, but I lost that name thankfully when I left school and started working.

Squibby.

I was born in Barnes SW13 by the River Thames and lived there for 30 years.
Married and with a family we moved to West Sussex and now live in a village surrounded by woods and fields, within 14 miles of Brighton.

But my first love is London.
 
Easy - I had a KangooRoo campervan at the time, although I sold it earlier this year and am now back to camping in a Kangoo panel van.
 
Family tradition OR lack of imagination

Just like John H, it's a family thing. My granddad was Robert W Keeble who named my dad Robert W who named me Robert W. I named my son Robert W, and he named his son W Robert :confused: - oops I must have a word with him about that one day.:)
