Re: What's in a name?
Hi FL. Very interresting things surrounding names or nicknames. Thanks for bringing it up!
Mine comes from Le Maní¨ge Enchanté, some french cartoon for kids (more puppets than cartoon characters) in the mid sixties. Zebulon is the magician who jumps here and there saying Tournicoti Tournicoton all the times (he has a spring or sort of instead of legs).
You can see him in the beginning of this video on Youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOVw-R-hTeY
Cheers!
Zebulon, tournicoton.

Mine stands for FOOL FOR CHRIST. I wanted something meaningful to me yet short and indescript.

Re: What's in a name?
Mine? Well, Gman is actually what people call me at work. Since the first letter of my name starts with a "G" and that I'm a man, hence Gman. Some think it stands for God, but I'm too humble for that...

Re: What's in a name?
B. W. are the initials of my firsts and middle name… first name is Bryan and the Middle — you'll have to guess…
B. W. is Not that original; however, I was given a nick name used on a computer game design/test team of — Marauder Mel
I thought of using it here but it just did not fit. (Yes, I worked with MatrixGames, Battlefront Games, and John Tiller Games. I helped deign campaigns, scenarios, maps, Table of Organization data entry, as well as testing game engines for various tactical Military style games).
