Where does your Tumblr name come from?
I’ve been using the name “gooneruk” for years online, to the extent that practically every result on google is me, on one site or another. It’s not exactly an easy name to figure out, so here’s my explanation:
The football team I support is Arsenal, and their nickname is “The Gunners”, as a throwback to originally being formed of workers at the Royal Arsenal in London. On our club badge there is the symbol of a cannon too. The supporters of Arsenal refer to themselves as “Gooners” in a sort of jokey reference to that and possibly also the Goon Show.
With “gooner” taken on a lot of sites, I added the “uk” bit to make it a bit more unique. I always spell it lowercase, and pronounce it gooner-u-k, rather than gooner-ruck, which I have heard a non-footballing friend say.
Where did yours come from?
I couldn’t think of a title for mine. So I just used the letters of the word title and got letit. Note the no space. That makes it cool!?
