    Mine is using SIN's ICAO code. To some this name maybe weird, because everybody refers it to SIN. I decided to use a different name from other communities, since this is an aviation community. I call myself different names in different internet communities, usually using my first name.

      Very interesting background stories, everyone ! Thanks for sharing.

      KeithMEL : your current handle is definitely more distinctive than QF009.

      CGK : what a simple but effective way to choose a handle : your name has become a legend in SQTalk. I always think of you when I am at an airport and see the designation CGK (as in Cengkereng/Jakarta) (sp?).
      also : no, my name upright man doesn't signify any desire to be prim and proper/a cabin crew/robotic or British (lol) !

        Brilliant.

        I think that term will get more widely used from now on.

        I won't even bother explaining where my handle comes from....

            You could have been even more unique if you had chosen 9V.

                  LukeGT.... from my name. on FT I use Paffendorf, my main handle on internet. I took it from a german DJ... the nice thing about that nick is the different versions my friends created.... Paf, paff, puff, paffy, paffe, pfaffen.. it's very usable
                  There's only One way to fly.... SINGAPORE AIRLINES!
                  If SQ is too expensive, the other way to fly is Qatar Airways

                    Let me add "Paff Daddy" to the list.

                        Well, mine started on FT, and although it does make some sense (I went to film school, am a big movie fan/watcher/DVD collector, and work in the somewhat related field of marketing/advertising), with hindsight I probably should have chosen something more travel-related. But the name stuck, so I kept it.

                          Well, to be brutally accurate, it'd now have to be P. Diddy, but since that's not enough to discern between the extremely hot star and that rap singer..... i'm suggesting Paff Diddy or better yet, Piff Diddy.

                            My handle's pretty self explanatory, and abbreviated to SQFG most of the time. Usually answer to "Oi!" or "come here you!" though......

                              Much better than "Poof Daddy" as that conjures up strange connotations
