Well, Stampf is the first 6 letters of my name.  Hard enough for most to pronounce correctly with out adding the last 2.

When I was in High School, sometimes' we would have our test results posted on a bulletin board out in the hall. Well, my English teacher(of all people!) managed to mispell my name-Froderick instead of Frederick.

Anyway, one of my buddies' on the football team saw it, and started calling me Frode in practice. It stuck with everyone on the team, and, well...

...I kept it to this day.

Picked my name when my plan was to jump from squad to squad, country to country to meet new people.  When not in a squad, would change the squad name to something like:

III/Jabowaffels
~~Wings of Error~~
++ t3h Blue Knights ++
Birds of Prey (Vulcher Wing) or (Dodo Birds) :lol
etc...

The responses from some of the real squads was great :D

Ok, this is one of those sharing moments, right? Get in touch with our inner-selves, our feelings, et all? Forget it, I'll just tell you how my callsign was created...

Once, someone told me that I was like a sparrow, allways jumpy and erratic, flying around and without a purpose...It stuck.

In Warbirds, my first online experience, our callsigns could only have six caracters long, so, I took the scissors and chopped one "r" off the spar(r)ow...

Sparow since then.

Cheers,

Thunderegg:

"A thunderegg (or thunder egg) is a type of rock similar to a geode but formed in a rhyolitic lava flow and found only in areas of volcanic activity. Thundereggs are rough spheres, most about as big as a baseball and they contain centers of chalcedony in the form of agate, jasper, or opal.[1]

They look uninteresting on the outside, but slicing them in half may reveal highly attractive patterns and colors valuable in jewelry.

According to native legend, the Thunder Spirits lived at the highest reaches of Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson, and when they became angry at each other, they threw these spherical rocks at each other.

It is the state rock of the U.S. state of Oregon."

FlaydONE and I threw around some ideas prior to my subscribing in the summer of 2004.
