I am currently researching the supposed "Battle of Radford". The hero is Fremund ;D who was killed in the Battle  :'( and later made a saint :). It seemed a good choice and a change from my actual nickname of Potter which has been with me for forty years. I sign some posts as Pete, which is my name.

Sorry, I only jest, I am not so narrow minded. ::)

It has been my "nickname" for many years, so I guess it's as good as any.

Hi Jonesy,

My nickname used to be Jonesy too!! Jones was my maiden name and even my teachers used to refer to me by it aswell.

Another alternative was Jonah or JJ!!!!!!

It was the only thing I could think of when the sign-up prompted me for an I.D.  ::)

Mine was a nickname when I was at school,  only one of my close friends used it,  and it didn't really stick,  but when I signed  on the site there had been a lot in the media about internet stalking,  so I wanted to anonymise myself a bit.
