Duke nukem 3 when he was still at school. Kept the whole thing up in the UK when something new came out and crashed everywhere else. I mind feeding him hot chocolate and home made gingernuts in the middle of the night.
"Technically" he's a software engineer....

Ah, AA was much the same, went on way past it's sell by date because it was just a great game to play. Designed originally for 28k modem, 640x480 etc. it lasted well into the broadband age and only really died when we couldn't get a working server any more.
This you will not believe:
One of my female patients ( Jamaican originally) is called Phellony as a first name.
Then, a young male patient, Caymanian, , is called Oral.
I always wondered what his sis would be called if he had one. I have not asked his parents!

Oral is a normal name? Cooool.....
Onan is biblic, but no parent seems to be keen on it?
My guess is the dad (or mum) used to be taken to court, and heard the word felony many times, and liked the sound of it.
(the word 'oral' too??
)

Master of off topic, I’ve recently been chiding Harebrainedschemes for buying the Shadowrun games and not being bothered to maintain them.
On topic, I did think Everything Mac was a Scottish thing cos you live up there and are probably called Mac something.
Mine was from when I was in Germany About 15 years ago. The bloke I worked with said it was one of the nick names the Gremans have for us, so I use it on lots of my on line profiles.
Insel = Island
Affen = Monkeys

My wife reminds me that when was having our firstborn the woman in the next bed, Mrs Beer, gave birth to a ginger headed little girl whom she named Virginia. One hopes her school mates opted for the more obvious Ginger Beer than anything worse.
I was at school with a boy named Alan Peter Edwards who was known to all by his initials. He must have wondered whether his parents did it on purpose. I did know a Mr Loades who wanted to call his son Laurence until his wife pointed out that it would be inevitably shortened to Laurie this saving the kid a lifetime of teasing.
I guess we are lucky to be able to pick our own user names although we then have only ourselves to blame.

So you changed it to argy bargey = noisy quarrelling or wrangling, lets hope not.
I had a friend christened to Laurentius.
The Swedish version is Lars, but I guess his parents wanted to be different.
Of course we bullied him in a friendly way.
My middle name is Franz.
After Franz Josef, the last emperor of my ancestral country.
Friendly bullied too, they called me Frank.

My sister married, her surname became Sharpe.
Sometime later my mother remarried, her surname became Blunt.
The pair of them never noticed the funny side of it until Mum was in hospital and the Doc seeing Mum's notes said
"Hello Mrs Blunt" then to my sister "who is this with you today"
"I'm her daughter, Mrs Sharpe" replied my sister.
Much laughter from all.
