I was with two forum members yesterday and asked them how they chose their forum names. I personally have difficulty in choosing such names, and passwords.

In my case, before I became a member of this forum, I attended a Highland Games in Washington DC in my Hay tartan Kilt for the first time. I was heartily welcomed by the members at the Clan Hay tent and invited to march with them in the Parade of Clans. As we approached the portal to be introduced to the crowd, our leader said we should give the Clan Hay warcry which is A Hay! A Hay! A Hay!. When I stumbled across the X Marks the Scot website and decided to join, that came to mind and thus why I use that as my forum name.

Some forum members have obvious reasons for chosing their on-line names, but others are more intriguing.

Could I ask members to share their thoughts, if you choose to do so?

Thanks,

Tom
