What’s in a name?

[craigwend]

Secret love child of a famous actress, I've said too much...

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I need a new name!

Signed up years ago and I was predominantly cycling to work and doing so in Central Scotland, I went with CentralCommuter. It’s just not catchy!

The best ones (in my opinion) seem to be mononyms and highly evocative - for example, Drago:

From Google: "Drago" is a word and name with multiple meanings, including "dragon" in Italian and Slavic languages, translating to the mythical beast, but also meaning "precious" or "dear" in Slavic languages. In English, "Drago" can derive from the word for a "male duck" or refer to a "dragon" through Old English roots. It can also refer to a Mexican tree or be a character name, like the formidable Russian boxer Ivan Drago from the Rocky film series.”

I mean, his name might actually be Drago and he’s landed very lucky, but if it is a chosen moniker it is inspired!

How did you all come up with your name?

Mad Central Biker, there, sorted it for you!!

Carried the name over from C+/BR, had two removed from where I worked, and trying to track them was my first post on there.

How about CenCom.

You could make up an elaborate story of what it means(if you can't then many on this site will have a go at it😂😂)

Name yourself after a whisky.Cardhu or Caol ila.

 

[Drago]

Could there be a monk out there called Harry, or perhaps a woman called Helen Back?
