Choosing a username

[gibbo]

Just a bit of fun, how did you chose your username?

Gibbo = Gibson my surname. So lazy picking that one
Another one on a different site is Shippo, thats short for my maiden name of Shipman.
The most fun one is giblet I wanted gibbo but on that site that username was used so i thought giblet sounded pretty good, wasn't until later that i thought it reminds me of a turkey Daveham, Gus would understand that

Yes, took several years of searching. $18 solved the problem - death cert had 'no issue' !! No Fred junior.

Oh well you eventually found out about Fred

Frederick playing games by sometimes using 'Fred' and appearing to be in two places at the same time.
