I need a new name.
I lived in Brisbane for 3 years from 12 to 15. I had a scottish accent, so by the cunning of Aussie youth, I was nicknamed "Scotsman" (oh the creativity!). When I was shuttled back to the UK at 15 I had a fairly chunky australian twang and via the gift of intelligent thought, I was then named "Ozzy".
And so its stuck. Everyone calls me Ozzy! I'm now 33, been shacked up with a hot chick for 11 years and she still calls me Ozzy, infact, she feels stupid calling me by my real name. The question is, what do we do next year when we move? Surely continuing to call me Ozzy is going to be a bit questionable. An Ozzy with a broad scottish accent? Proposterous! This puts yet another twist in an already very tiring story which I'm fed up telling to people when they ask why I'm called that.

Tell 'em your named after Ozzy Osbourne as you have a tendency to eat bat's heads and raw meat ! That'll shut 'em up and they won't ask again
