Great idea Big Mickie. My avatar just happened. When my son was little (he's now 30) he called himself 'zooming man'—he was always moving at warp speed. When I had to give a name it just came to me. I typed it in expecting it to be taken already; but I got it.
Have a happy and entertaining long weekend.

Mael Coluim is Gaelic of the Anglicanized Malcolm, my sir name which means follower(monk) of St. Columba.

Columba's more common name(as seen closer to his OWN day) is Colum Chille ("Dove of the Church"). I studied his theology in my undergrad history degree final research paper/project.

Mine is just the Gaelic spelling of my last name.

Mine is from my initials (Jay R. Barron). I belong to a couple other discussion forums that insist forum names be either your real name or your initials. I'm so used to that it never occured to me to come up with a clever name here.
