Thought this might be a fun one

What does your username mean and why did you choose it?

Mine is pretty obvious I think and I chose it because I like Mustangs from the 60s. I don’t know why I chose 66 as you can get a 65 Mustang and up to about 69 are the ones I like, just a random number I guess.

    While I was in America a few years ago visiting family. I was talking with my 8yr old 'step' grandson about my like of dragons and both of our like of fantasy books, films ECT. We got talking about middle names and jokingly I told him I didn't have one because we couldn't afford it. So quick as a flash he gave me one. Dragonslayer. Its the name I use on here and in others places. I love it. it's a great middle name.?

    I'm on a lot of forums but wanted to keep a 'personal' forum totally separate with a name unlike the others.  Also didn't want my real name on here, or anything that could be linked back to me on other sites. 

    This was the best I could come up with at the time, but I've never really been content with it!  'ObsessivelyAnxious' would have been more humorous in hindsight.  But even then, it still focuses in on just the MH problems, giving other members preconceptions before they even read a post.  Maybe I'm overthinking this. :D   Not sure if mods can change names on here but if I do ever think of a better one I'll ask!

    Mine stands for the 2 genetic disorders that run in my family; Chiari 1 Malformation (pronounced key-ah-ree) & eds which is short for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so chiari + eds

    Years ago the BBC had a sitcom script competition that I took part in...needless to say I didn't get anywhere but enjoyed writing comedy scripts  as a hobby and sharing stuff on the forum that went along with the comp and Cress was the name of  a character in a scene I wrote...

    @Username_removed I actually wasn’t going to go for the obvious as I know you don’t like sharing personal info online! I’m guessing the CQ is from what people use on radio.

    @cress that’s interesting, always just assumed it was your name!

    Have a guess.
    I doubt many will know what the cq stands for!  Originally misread it as 'esq' for esquire myself...had to Google it.  :#

    Edit - Just realised I Googled qc...so I'm still none the wiser!  :D

    Well mine compared, is just plain boring, the 123 has no reverence what so ever. 
    @cress go you with writing scripts for BBC, they do need new comedy.

    I don’t suppose it’s to do with a Latin word that I can never remember nor would I ever be able to spell it but I remember reading about it years ago how it’s often put after a name. I could be way off though. Was just a thought.
