What's the story behind your forum name?

[Anker]

Anker is an uncommon Danish first name. I was born in South Africa and considered my naming to be cruel and unusual punishment instigated by my parents. Didn't get any better when we move to Denmark because the spelling is exactly the same as the spelling of a boat anchor in Danish. It wasn't until I became an adult that I actually got to like my first name.

I refuse to tell anybody what my nickname was in South Africa. :-)
