Usernames - Why did you choose yours?

[Courtenay]

I thought it was well-known that Enid Blyton is "racy" and "sexy"!

Oh, so THAT's what those critics are all on about!!

[Billy Farmer]

My username was inspired by a character who appeared in my all time favourite Comic Strip - The Leopard from Lime Street, which appeared in Buster Comic.

That's a blast from the past! I always had Buster comic, and remember The Leopard From Lime Street very well indeed!

[Lucky Star]

Me too. Buster was a great comic.

I was browsing through this topic and came across your comment Lucky Star.

Lucky Star is the name of the motorboat in The Sea of Adventure which was the first book I ever read on my own. I have never forgotten the awe I felt at the thought of careering across a vast, island studded sea in a comfy and powerful motorboat. When I decided to join the forums I realised that I needed a username and it was the first Blytonian name to pop into my head.

I had completely forgotten this name from The Sea of Adventure and to think all this time have assumed you must have been a fan of the Australian singer Lucky Star. But when I think of it, he is from my era a bit before your time.

I thought he was really groovy, way back then. Here is a link to one of his songs:

I just saw this link-interesting you ask this - I am actually one of the few here in my real name! Maybe I should re-invent with a Blytonian one!!

[Rob Houghton]

With Tony and Anita, you're in good company, Sayantani!

[sayantani]

Yes you are right-hallowed company indeed!!

Not a bad song Aussie Sue. I quite liked it although I have never previously heard of Lucky Starr. It's a popular name though.

Haven't heard that one for a while! Glad they've given a list of the places under the video, or I'd still be trying to make them out... my one gripe is that he mispronounces Geelong. (It's Gee-long, not Gee-long.) But he does include my birthplace (Dandenong) and the town my dad's ancestors first settled in (Bendigo).

[LightBlue]

My username is quite strange really. Though my favourite colour is light blue so there you go! That's where the name came from.Lol.

My story is that I was trying to think of a username, but my brain had gone blank so I left the computer to have a break. When I came back, my cat was sitting on the desk next to my computer, and had accidently typed the word "vfvd" onscreen- he uses the keyboard like a garden path. So, I decided it wasn't a bad username and kept it

Wow - hard one to top that!!

[Daisy]

But did your cat tell you how to pronounce it?
