My name was chosen because I'm such a ditherer and because I'm a Dad (and love being one!)
You can keep your "King", "Prince", "Duke", "Lord" and "Sir" cos "Dad" is the best title in the world! (for a bloke anyway).Mortgage Free in 3 Years (Apr 2007 / Currently / Δ Difference)

My middle name is Susan and when I registered I was trying to turn my finances around - hence the name (also a song from the 80s I think?)When you were born, you were crying and everyone around was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying! :rotfl:0

Hi all,
Mine was also taken and wasn't going to do the other nick name as it's too obvious, so decided on next best thing as my friends from New Zealand want me to live over there and if things don't improve on work front in next say 8 months or so my holiday there next year might result in staying there a bit longer... so probaly not best of things to use my real nick name in case my manager's looking!
Also due to signature too, if my old workplace realised that it's plastered on forum's I'm sure I'd be in trouble! :rolleyes:0 -
I cannot remember when when exactly I started using the name crown or why as it has nothing to do with my surname.... I was a avid gamer in my teens and friends and myself adopted names. When I got on the Internet I used it as a nickname on many websites in some form or another.
I have now used the net for around 12 years and the Scarey thing Is more people know me as Crown than they do than I know in everyday life!
I wish I could say It was because I lived like a King but that isnt exactly trueYes, a Bit Geeky but I dont care

Mine has been my nickname since I was about nine. And if I used my other user name then it can trace me a lot on the web :eek:No longer using this account for new posts from 20130
