HighFlyer was taken so added 75 on the end as I was born in that year. The rest is starting to seem pretty ironic these days because being a high flyer is quite difficult with the Swedish winter. Still, LowPublicTransportTaker75 doesn't sound very good I guess.

Well... What a difficult question! I'm not French, and never have been French. I don't even speak French. I'm in fact British, and living in Asia.
Oh well, L'aviateur just seemed like a good name.

"Smithy" - general nickname that most folks know me by. Stuck the Capt part in front of it because I'm a pilot. Nothing special. Most folk know who I am though so not a very anonymous name - big deal.

Great idea for a thread!
Mine needs no explanation of course
It's really not very original and I wasn't feeling very inspired at the time - I joined whilst at work so had to do it all in a hurry before I got caught!

The name of a castle used by Richard the Lionheart in Cyprus which I admired when I lived there as a child. The castle itself is a great example of simple engineering, being (literally) built like a brick outhouse, but on the site is also the remains of one of the earliest sugar refineries.
Simple engineering when that was all that was required but some elements of high tech too - a bit like a training aircraft!

I was given the nickname Morris by my maths teacher when I was about 12 after doing an impression of Dom Jolly's morris dance from Trigger Happy TV. I cannot recall why 542 exactly. I've used this name for about 8 years now but can't for the life of me recall when or why I first used it.

I don't generally use my own name as an ID, as it's far too common to be available on most sites.
The words are descriptive, i.e. red-haired and female. The numbers were needed as redbird on its own had already been taken. Doesn't take a genius to work out what the numbers signify, regretting it now!

After reading a number of posts, while researching a helicopter issue, I found an answer I had would be potentially helpful on this forum. I had to think of a name to sign in. As I (perhaps mistakenly) believed that I was supposed to remain anonymous, I did not think that using my real name would be permitted. So, I got thinking.....
Few people would argue about my being a pilot, so that part was easy. I'm also a Transport Canada Design Approval Representative (DAR). Anonymous name found! Not very imaginative, but simple, and appropriate.

There are nine players in a baseball team, and you put the best batters up first to bat. For some reason I was always put last up to bat (probably 'cos I was rubbish), hence the name. When age forced my move to softball with 10 players in a team, I couldn't be bothered to change it.
