Having got into Brycing I was discussing this very subject with my son. There seems to be a thang in the USA whereby some folks have titles instead of names. For example: My granddaughter Rebecca is known as Becky, but using an Americanism this became 'The Beckster' and this is now my pet name for her. (She loves it btw) (Hope I'm making sense here)

Moving on, and with all this in mind, we went through 'The Brycer', which sort of collides with everyday speak on this forum as we're all 'Brycers', so that didn't work, to 'The Brycester', which to you Americans reads: The Bry-sester. However, by changing one letter or two we get 'The Bry-ster', which sort of rang a chord so that's what I/we chose !!! The rest if history!

What bugs me though, is that I wanted to use THE BRYSTER, but the forum wouldn't let me spell it that way because of the space between THE and BRYSTER. I didn't want to use an underline to get THE_BRYSTER, so I became TheBryster...........

(Gets the award for the most complicated explaination in the forum) ;-)
