Well, no one springs to mind, but I do like names that are "real" first names.

For some reason I have always pronounced your name as Jom-Jimba.
No idea why...I know it isn't spelt like that.

People often put a 'c' in my name (Lectum).

Not sure what all the excitement is about.

I first used the name "The Avon Lady" when I tried out my first ever first person shooter, Delta Force, from Nova Logic. That got me very addicted. This would have been around 1998, if I'm not mistaken.

When I first started playing Delta Force multi-player with some boring nick (don't remeber what), I realized that the player names are inserted into the kill/death messages that show up during an MP session.

So I thought about a unique name and decided that I liked the idea of messages saying something to the effect of "Carl the Crusher was shot through the head by The Avon Lady." This definitely bruised more than a few male egos.

Soon afterwards I decided I liked it enough to register domain TheAvonLady.org. I was very suprised that Avon Corp. didn't do so already. Still waiting for that multi-grand offer to come my way from them to buy up the domain name.

Let's not forget the cease and desist order and threats of trademark infringement.
