Lizzie W
*goes to check own profile pic* = my best running pic and a goal.
My name is Liz. Liz x has always been taken and I didn't want to be too blatantly obvious eg to work, also lacking imagination, so went for Lizzie C, then later married Mr W. My unofficial Fetch name is Wizzle (and variants of, thanks to Grep), which gets used elsewhere if Lizzie W is taken!

Nellers
I can imagine you on the Island of Sodor, V'Rap, but you'd have Sir Topham's job rather than being an engine.

Sigh
@larkim - the work abbreviation thing here is first two letters of first name and surname. They didn't expect we'd have someone called Andy Alford working here at one time

Gobi
LOL Jock - sport related issues :¬)
Gobi - pronounced GOBBY
Started as a joke as I am a Star Wars fan so I was briefly Gobi_Wan , then Gobi_one pronounced Gobby_One and just became Gobi but the spelling was never corrected.
Really I'm the Dark Lord but Gobi works :¬)

Brilliant, some real revelations here that I genuinely didn't know. Nellers, I guess I wasn't around yet then (I'm 2008/9 vintage in Fetch) or didn't hang around on same dodgy threads as you and Grep.
Carpathius - thanks for the thanks, but did you actually give an explanation of yours?!
Jock, lol! I can't imagine, or would rather not.
V'rap - liking that, very PC, but in the early millennium.
Elsie, it never occurred to me that your name wasn't Elsie, didn't even think LC!
Cottam Runner was Lytham Runner, or the other way round Phil, so yes, people do change when they change location.
KatieB - lol!
I knew Gus (K 5 GUS) because I knew his car (we're in same club!)
HB, that's a good set of reasons!
Goofee, cruel, but well done for reclaiming the name and boo! to your oppressors!
Badger, lol at hair colour!
Keep 'em coming folks! G

Hmm... I don't know why mine is what it is
In all honesty, when I was a lot younger I got into an online argument with someone who hid behind a username (though I knew who they were IRL), who decided to sling a lot of criticism at an event I was involved with.
I made a point of using my real name, standing by everything I said, and allowing people to confront me over it, while they were a two-face POS. I think if more people were forced to be held to account of what they say online the better...

Mandymoo
Mine is simple - name is Mandy (not Amanda) and mandymoo has always been a nickname. People seem to enjoy shouting it out when name is on a t shirt in a race too. Quite amusing hearing the "mandymooooooooooooo" shouts
