OO61
My avatar OO61 was chosen initially for Runners World. I lived in a place called Olney at the time so chose the OlneyOne (like 'the only one'). This got shortened to OO when I moved away from Olney. I added the numbers to show my age- Iwas 50 at the time, updated each year until now, I'm 61.

Thanks for explaining @OO61 I find it fascinating all the different reasons.

Any of the other new arrivals from Runners World want to share theirs?! :-) G

Nellers
Not a "How I got my name" thing as such (It was GregP's fault!) but I've finished up being known as Nellers in the real world. One of my son's friends' dads is a cyclist who uses The Orange Place and told his son that I was called "Nellers" on there (I'm not on there any more) so all my boy's mates started calling me Nellers. Eventually my son also joined in and so has his girlfriend. I'm now hear "Nellers" more than my actual name.

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
