What's in a name.?

[vivandorron]

As two O.A.P.s who have been married for longer than AB has existed, we do wonder the basis on which some members have established their Usernames.

It's obvious that ours was 'home-made' to allow either or both of us to append a signature; which on this occasion is.........Viv & Ron.

[theonlyone]

mine is easy to work out

[craft1948]

mine is.......Can't Remember A Flipping Thing.....and my year of birth :-)

[NoMercy]

Mine is NursyNoMercy, but I couldn't fit that many digits in... so I shortened it to NoMercy.

[MarkRae]

Mine is actually my name, believe it or not. And it's the only account I have on here, believe that or not!

Ello Viv and Ron.

Mine's from a dog I used to have called Boo, but that was already taken so I substituted the O's for 0's (zeros)

[MarkRae]

> a dog I used to have called Boo

Named after the song, I presume...

[Mamyalynne]

Hi Viv and Ron

Mine is how my grandchildren address me plus my name

[sara3]

I'm Sara, but that was taken (who by, I ask myself??) so I took sara3, which is the beginning of my email addy.

[ChuckFickens]

Mine is made up in a attempt to be funny and hopefully non offensive, I kinda think if you are the sort of person to spot the joke you would be the sort of person it wouldn't offend.

[fruitsalad]

ironic i know, but I'm not keen on fruit.

[MarkRae]

Hoyt Axton! Haven't heard that song in donkeys years...

[sadielady]

Mine is the first part of my name plus my old works number

[Bobbisox]

Hello vivandron, mine was Joy11 till I unregistered, couldnt have it back so here I am as a wee rock ' n roller called Bobbisox

[mrs.chappie]

Hiya Viv & Ron.

My original name (back in 1994???) was chappie, which is my real-life nickname, but I got a bit of stick from folk who thought I was really a fella pretending to be a woman. So the obvious answer was to stick the mrs on the front.

Occasionally I still post as chappie, but that is only because that name was never deleted (although I did ask) and when I sign in, it defaults to chappie and I have to change it to mrs.chappie. The problem is, sometimes I forget. I know I'm waffling so I will shurrrrrup now. [:o)

[mrs.chappie]

Correction - must've been 2004 as I don't think AB was around in the 90's! [:o)

[B00]

MarkRae- Yes Indeedy :-)
