Never shy in giving my opinion when I have knowledge HG - funny but I say very little on topics I don't have knowledge on

Raemond
I'm Raemond.

Across as many platforms and fora as I can be (I grumble excessively if someone has dared to take it already, but will reluctantly settle for Raemondo or The Great Raemondo. Never Raemond The Great, though, that would be weird), and in real life. I am far more likely to respond to raemond that the name on my passport/driver's licence/birth certificate.

When some people learn that name, despite me never using it, they try to call me by it and I will mostly respond ' who's that?' Some even try to introduce a different shortform of that name. If they're lucky I just tell them NO, if they persist I will probably cease to interact with them.

The pic is just one of few I have and don't hate of me doing something sportsy - in this instance trying out a new wetsuit for the first time.

McGoohan
In the great Before-Time, before there was a website called Fetcheveryone, I was a member of a fansite for the Chester-based, universally agreed best-band-in-the-word-like-evs Mansun. Their second album, Six, the greatest thing ever recorded in the history of humanity, is partially themed on the old TV series The Prisoner. I needed a member name (for Mansunite.com) and NumberSix, Portmeirion etc had all gone. So I picked McGoohan.

I've been McGoohan wherever possible on all internet-based things since.

My avatar used to be a b&w pic of Patrick McGoohan from the show, but for a few years now has been Puppet Abed from an episode of Community.

This was prompted by Fetch and KatieB on the podcast as they have started reading out people's Fetchnames, and I guess are sometimes not sure how to pronounce them - pedroscalls was the one (Pedro, when you going to come on here and explain please?!)

Podcast thread fetcheveryone.com/forum__60668__fetcheveryone_podcast

Be aware that Katie and Fetch say they may pick a few of the funny ones from here. Your chance to shine peeps!

Dio, that's a good explanation, very cerebral
Mandymoo - that must be fun at races, people shouting your name. I get "Go Happy" which I hear as "Be Happy" which is nice in races.
Calling Lizzie Wizzles now! :-) G

I think Wizlyn (?) did some of the same races, and was fast, so didn't want mistaken identity :-)

It doesn't help in races actually having my Fetch name on my vest. 'Come on... Mister Googans'

Watford Wobble
I relocated over 4 years ago Surrey Phil and never did change the Watford bit.

I was considering 'The Wobbler' but I think there is too much history now.

I now live in Weldon.

Hi Fetchies

Come here and tell me about your Fetchname:
- how did you come up with it?
- how do you pronounce it? (prompted by pedroscalls - is it Pedro-Scalls or Pedros-Calls?

There're are a few that um and I've summarised from answers in the thread in a lovely Wiki article here:

Here is the list to read AND ADD YOUR NAME !!

fetcheveryone.com/article-view.php?id=550

Feel free to add your own name here and also in the article, in the style above.

Remember, everyone can edit a Wiki, just follow the link!

Cheers! :-) G
