What’s in a name?

[CentralCommuter]

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?

I was in a funny mood and was worried that I would be criticised for riding an ebike and hadn;t mentioned it

and only expected to make one or two comments and then ignore it
and had just read an article and security and keeping your idenitiy secret

wish i could change it a bit to be honest - not sure if that is possible

Describes how I experienced cycling when I joined in 2018.

I suppose I could change it, but "A mixture of coffee stops, uphill and downhill" doesn't work as well.

 

[DCLane]

I'm lazy. Mine's me. Although I also appear to be a Plymouth-based estate agent

However Google's AI description of me is almost entirely incorrect.

I used to run quite long distances. When the going got really tough I would say to myself " sod this for a game of soldiers, I'm sticking to 10k runs in future "
