How did you come up with your name?

[sharkbait]

I used to do a bit of shark diving back in South Africa. The crew used to tell me all they could see from the boat was my arm stretching out from the cage every time a shark swam past. They said it was only a matter of time that I ended up as shark bait... and it stuck

 

[slugger]

name of my old driver... the driver was from a company called Powerbilt, who are a famous sports brand over the other side of the big pond for the production of the louisville slugger baseball bat... i often used to think that i would have more success of the tee using a baseball bat than the club itself!

 

[Fyldewhite]

Simple, there's a branch of the Bolton Wanderers supporters club called "Fylde Whites" - I live in the Fylde and support Bolton. Sorted.

 

[Robobum]

From football days, everyone has to have a nickname that ends in y or o. Robo was already taken so, as my 3 yr old daughter likes to do to almost every word, added bum on the end of it.

 

[Doh]

My youngest daughter had this thing about saying "Doh" to me whenever I did or said something silly or was messing about with her. Of course she was into the Simpsons at the time.

 

[jammydodger]

Was always big into online gaming and all my names had some variant of 'dodger' in them (dodgerman,coffindodger,artfuldodger etc etc).

Our Scottish friend already has dodger so funnily enough at the time I was munching my way through a packet of jammiedodgers and hence the latest incarnation/variant
