TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Nov. 20 2006, 20:50 Mines pretty self explanatory and I can't recall the thought process before I came up with it, just that Belle is a female and I am obsessed with everything Tubular. (I even bought my kids Tubular Bunk Beds! he). I did not know about the aeroplane named TubularBelle until long afterwards when someone on this site spoke about it. Speaking of MyCoalField in the other thread, it is a little disappointing that someone who can come up with such a cool name does not contribute to the site at all, MyC, where are you? Did I win that by the way?????? -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

SoimSandheaver Group: Members Posts: 325 Joined: May 2006 Posted: Nov. 21 2006, 14:24 I think I must have explained the story about how I came up with my name somewhere. Okay, for those who haven't heard, I am a huge LOTR fan, and have been since I was about eight when my Dad used to help me read the books. During the huge hype surrounding LOTR due to the films between 2001-2003, there was a site where you could put in your name, where you lived etc., and it would tell you what your name would be if you were a Hobbit, a Dwarf, an Elf, or some other Tolkien creation. The name I would be if I was a Hobbit was Soim Sandheaver. The name stuck out a bit, mainly because I thought of myself as a Hobbit because I am quite a small person, and my nickname at school was "Ickledave". I tired of my friends saying "Ello, Dave!" almost every time they saw me as a result of being fans of "The League of Gentlemen", so I forged an alternative identity I could use on some Internet Forums, such as this one. I prefer being known as Soim Sandheaver or Sandy, as opposed to my actual name, mainly because I'm a very shy person in reality. Oh yeah, and I doubt they'd let me call myself "The Administrator" -------------- "Three blokes go into a pub, one of them's a little bit stupid, then the whole scene unfolds, with a tedious inevitability."

bee Group: Members Posts: 1227 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: Nov. 21 2006, 18:09 bee ~ because I like bees. Very much. I also like seahorses & dragonflies, but those words didn't sound so good. I love everything about bees, their social organisation, how they've been a part of our lives for many hundreds of years, honey & it's health giving properties, & the mystery bees have about them, their ancient knowledge. They make me happy whenever I see them. And it's also the initial letter of my surname -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

Me too.  Bill Bobaggins is a name I use from time to time on various forums, etc.  Obviously it has nothing to do with Mike.  It's just supposed to be a funny version of Bilbo's name. -------------- Speak friend and enter.
