Gaz - we all need to thank you! This has been a great thread to read!

My is kinda obvious. Ted is my first name. Like was mentioned - JTM, I think - I like the music - and am being my self. My last name is Neil. When you have 2 first names, I get called "Neil" alot, so I decided to keep it simple - just Ted.

I thought briefly about TexasTed - but - while I have lived longer in Texas than anywhere else, I was born in Indiana and grew up in Ohio (Dayton) and Indiana (Salem) until I went to college in Texas. After 6 years of college, I got married and lived in in Abilene, Texas for a year, then 3 years in North Carolina (Cary, near Raleigh) and 3 years in New Mexico (Albuquerque), we moved back to the Austin area. My wife is a Native Texan, from the Austin area. We have lived here 14 years!!

Again, Gaz - thank you for this forum/thread to share our stories and names....


Mucho gratias,

Ted

[Methem]

I needed a name for my player character in a text-based online game 12 years ago. Ended up choosing "Methem" (which isn't supposed to mean anything).

At the time I subscribed here (wow, more than 2 years ago now, maybe 3 ?), I was a huge fan of Michael Moorcock's "Chronicle of the Black Sword", (and of the Hawkwind musical adaptation) and I was using the name Elric almost everywhere. Now I got used to it, and despite the fact that this does not mean much to me anymore, I still use it everywhere.
