Your wonderful pseudonames

Message withdrawn at poster's request.

Because I was never like Twiggy my husband labelled me Hattie (Jacques) and I combined it with my middle name. I know I am in trouble if he uses my proper name !!

I don't live in the UK or in an English-speaking country, so I chose the more international word "grandtante" instead of "great-aunt" added my initials and my age at the time and voilà.

No witch me, just a person who used to be a resource broker, thus the name Sourcerer! Now a free-lance writer!

My dad called me Topsy before I was born ( confident this one was a girl!) and always called me Topsy. My daughter was miniTops.

I loved all the fashions in the 60s and 70s, and modelled myself on the likes of Twiggy and Agnetha from Abba. My name is an acknowledgement that those days were great, but sadly I am old now and must dress accordingly

Hellsgrandad you look very dashing on that bike so I guess that username suits you.
Just had coffee with a very old friend who has no technology whatsoever, so does not post on sites.
I asked her what her username would be if she joined Gransnet.
She replied "Quickasaflash"
Can't fault that as it describes her 81 year old brain precisely.

Hmm. Don't think turquoiseanemone hits the spot. So.I'll stick with the obvious one I've got. Could be poshfrocks which is my fashion label.

My "real" first name is not at all gran-like, so when my first grand-son was born, my daughter came up with granny dark-hair. His other gran is granny yellow-hair. If he was born now, 16 years later, I'd have to be granny dark/with a fair bit of white hair ?

Mine sort of speaks for itself

There's nothing imaginative about mine I'm afraid. Just my initials and the 5 just because on some sites Jaycee was already used and it was added randomly.
I started out using the name headstone on other sites because it is where I live and didn't think about the other meaning so had to change it but I still have it some places. Now it just irritates me. It's probably not appropriate for sites for older people.

I joined soon after my daughter gave birth to twins. We assumed she would only have one baby so when we knew it was two I chose as my user name TwiceAsNice because that's exactly what our lovely twins are

I love Parrots and used to Foster for a rehoming charity. The house was full of bird noises (and dust, dirt and detritus). Now I share my life with my own 'flock' sadly down to 2 birds, an elderly Australian Parakeet with two broken wings and a Blue Fronted Amazon. I also love Cornwall and the Cornish for Cornwall is Kernow. We renamed the parakeet Kernow when we adopted him. Hence an amalgamation of all that. ?

My dear husband calls me Annie and I am definitely not rich! My surname starts with Rich - very boring!

I don’t post very often - so hello! My nickname reflects where I live and the name my children call me

I first started chatting in chat rooms and forums when such things were very new. I had a habit of joining at first as anonymous, which I couldn’t spell. I added an e. So my user name given to me by the friends I made was mouse. So mouse with various additions I have been for at least 20 years.

Menopausal and have a dog, simple as that

I clearly see myself as something special!!!!

Mine is derived from my Scottish grandmother's names.

Mine started out as a User name on other sites. Legs is my nickname from my 20s/30s (tall, slim, long legs) not quite so appropriate now but DH loved it. I originally wanted to use it on another site but it had been taken so I added year of my birth so Legs55 has stuck. I love the way user names are chosen. MawBroon I still read the Sunday Post even though I now live in Devon, first introduced to it on weekly trips from Yorkshire to Lanark Cattle Market but that's another story.

My name is in memory of my dear mum,who passed away a few years ago,she lived in the country, and there were always squirrels visiting her garden,and she loved to watch them.

Nothing to do with bacon. It was the nickname given to me at school by my best friend when she saw me running round the gym! I was hopeless at running and all sports and hated P.E.!

Part of my pseudonym is what my name means in Hebrew. I am not, however, much of a flower. That's ironic. I am a bit of a weed.

Mine's really obvious - I am very partial to beige - but am also a lover of sky blue and other pastel shades. I put the year of my birth in as we're supposed to use numbers as well as words as a security measure. I'm not really a numbers person and that's easy to remember.

Every time I have started a new hobby, after a time I get bored, and out comes the sewing machine to start another quilt!
