What's In A Name?

[Mystil]

Mine comes from the fact that my cats name is Mysty and it evolved from that over several years...

 

[modaz]

mine is a mix of my christain and surname, Daz as for Darren and Mo b/c its the 1st 2 letters of my surname and I usd to be called Mo when i was in my late teens.

Thanks to everyone for such a great response and brightening what seemed like the longest work day ever!
There are some fantastic names and great reasons behind them, mine feels a little dull now.
Keep 'em coming!

 

[oswoldy]

Oswoldy because when I was younger someone had trouble saying my surname which was my nickname so they said the first word that came into there head and it stuck!

Mike

 

[jourdy288]

From my name, Jourdan, and the 288 from my first username, because Jourdy was already taken, Jourdy288 was offered.

Kids are so original when it comes to giving nicknames....

 

[fish are friends....]

Anyone who has seen 'Finding Nemo' will know mine.

The famous quote "Fish are friends, not food!" lol

 

[stang1]

Finding Nemo has a lot to answer for!
If I had a pound for everyone who said "Oooh, Nemo" when they spotted the clowns in the display tank, I would own a lot more fish tanks....

Sounds familiar...

 

[matchstickman47]

hahaha
i saw a kid call the regal tangs dories.........................why dont they just put that on the tank ppl would find em much more efficiently an i think it is key that fish shop staff watch the film inorder to deal with children


hah

stang you are small to, i hope when (if i can) i get a job at a lfs i can reach the top tanks

 

[stang1]

I know that I can't reach the top tanks, I'm the only one in the shop who can't.
I'm glad they don't put Dory and Nemo on the tanks as no-one would become educated. When customers come into the shop asking if they can have a Nemo fish, you can guarantee they don't know the real name and haven't got a marine tank.
