How did you choose your Pprune name?
Some are very obvious "Bloke in an Archer", "Whirlybird", etc. and some seem to defy any logic at all!
I undestand why Aerbabe and BEagle use these appelations.
So what is your story?

My first nom-de-PPRuNe was ex-job-specific, made a couple of posts in Mil Aircrew and is now long dead. I remembered PPRuNe when I started to think about learning to fly and had to register to post - and being totally ignorant when it came to aeroplanes I named myself after my car

Mine comes from when I started to learn to fly.
Someone bought me a jokey L plate, a big one saying to put it on the side of the aeroplane when I have a lesson.
I placed it on the wall next to my pc and when I came to register on pprune I was stuck. I sat staring at it for ages then suddenly thought hmmmmmmm, thats a big red L so I logged on as that...
Best name I have seen so far is 'Far Canal'.......

Because I both like and fly Tiger Moths.
The reason I have this stupid underscore in my name is because it wouldn't accept just plain Tiger Moth, but I've never seen anyone else of that username so I don't know what was going on there.
