    My name comes from a rather lame UK tv game show of the same name. On which I was a contestant. Nothing to do with Lady GaGa!

    I wanted a quick username that I could use without getting loads of spam or personal information being grabbed on sites. So I picked a good Welsh word. Then I used it so often I would find it a real pain to change for something else.

    Used to use variations of pugwash but decided a change was needed. Piloting ships is what I do. Pontious Pilate sprung to mind for some reason and made slight change. Mrs CP thought it was funny :lol:

    I used to study wasp sounds.

    I found a 12" record of European wasps from a second hand record shop and I didn't recognise any of them at all.

    I checked with the shopkeeper and it turned out I was listening to the B side.

    I had the same LP and I thought the best tracks were on the B side. I used to hum along to them all.

    Ocean because I have a love affair with the sea and all things linked to it like fishing, boats, swimming etc - Blue because its the colour of my football team, the Belfast Blues, the mighty Linfield FC!!
  • Piersy Boy
    Piersy Boy Posts: 60
    What I was called at school. I never had a nickname...'Piers'....is quite hard to abbreviate etc etc, so they decided to add a y and boy and it has stuck ever since. Its also my Hockey name, climbing name and well any sport I do I am called this.

    When I introduce myself to new people I just say Piers...but over time they then seem to find saying 'Piersy Boy' much easier to say.

    Another reason is..... I am hard of hearing and dont always hear my own name and so adding a lower noted word seemed to get my attention.

    Old nickname from some heroic fantasy game, where I played dwarves:

    I used to have a pet ferret called Tebbit, hence the username, he was an evil little sod, so when he developed his own personality (they're similar) which was an evil aggressive little sod, I called him Tebbit.

    I grew to be fond of the little furry psychopath, and hence use the name in memory of him.

    I used to use my own real name, until someone at work was poking fun, accusing me of a Lycra fetish.
    And I do like wearing lycra, but only when I'm cycling.
