Not at all, no. I'm not actually sure where it comes from, it's just something a friend started calling me, and it stuck.

Really? Huh. I saw your actual name in an email, and if you combine them you'd get something like Gavvie, so I thought that's what it was.

Gavvie: I'm curious how your friend came up with that name - it's pretty unique.

As for me, I always kinda had a fascination with media and eventually came up with the whole 'if I had a TV station what programming would it have' thing which I still have today. That station I have called TCS or The Crippen Station, using my last name. So, crippenstation.

TCS has kinda been made a reality with my at home video studio TCS Films, along with its YouTube channel. I haven't done anything for about a year though after a very disappointing cancelled project I REALLY wanted to do...

Man, I can't even tell if that's sarcasm or not.

Trust me, that wasn't sarcasm. I never heard the word or name of Gavvie until RadioSEGA.

It's like Andy or Billy. Just adding a y on the end and maybe shortening it, if they were male since ie at the end is generally feminine.
