User names

Likeable thread which I wish to contribute to.
VOY is short for Voyager, my nickname during my inspection days when I inspected/audited/evaluated thousands of hotels and airplane companies worldwide. Also as a Trekkie since over 50 years, it's my favourite Star Trek show.
KAY is merely how you pronounce the last letter of my family name, starting thus with a 'K'.
And here I thought Felix stood for:
Fantastic
Energetic
Likable
Interesting
Xenial
Thanks Voyager!..... interesting, your former job sounds terrific
I have no allusions that I am an excellent artist. Bob always says, "We just want and indication of a ....".
All I hope for is to produce an Indication of (good) Art.
Mine is a tribute to a screwed up multiverse world created by Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith where everyone on earth was turned into monsters plus my HS football number.
Now that is interesting, i assumed (wrongly) that you were a fan of horror impresario David cronenberg
I got mine when I was second year student due to sunny red hair and a positive attitude to living
Came from an old Alice Cooper song years ago. First screen name I ever used snd stuck with it.
I love hearing this stuff!
Everyone's name stories are so interesting! My husband and I are professional house flippers, so that's where mine originated.
House flippers?....Not a term used here in the UK, i suspect the term means to buy and sell for profit?
Yes, like the TV shows lol. Buy, fix, sell.

It comes from a geographical name referring to the county of Devon in England.
Mine is just my name and my birth year. probably about time to stop using that
Devon is beautiful....Lucky you DL
People said I was eccentric but of course I couldn't have a username that was spelled correctly.
