Your wonderful pseudonames

Mine is just as it is. I also have four older DGC, but these are so special as they were born at 31 weeks. Girl twin was a placental abruption. DD was fortunately in hospital at the time. Boy twin had to come out first, healthy. Girl twin was resuscitated for a long time. At eight months she had meningitis B. Boy had double pneumonia and collapsed lungs. They are nearly seven now and both very academic, way beyond their years. We are so lucky to have this ginger pair in our lives!

Mine is a homage to my now sadly deceased wet nose soft coated wheaten terrier

I had just been trying to use one outside with little success I used to love hula hooping when I was a lot younger.

My dad has always kept a garden full of roses. Over the years as his health has deteriorated the rose bushes have reduced in numbers, but in my mind Roses will always be for my dad.

Mines very boring, I'm originally from Lincoln and the LncolnImp is iconic

Mine is just so obvious. Even though we are in late 50s we still go to the one in Paris twice a year.

I was looking for an online name which I could remember but which meant nothing in particular. This name is also accepted on sites which insist on knowing your surname

Like the violet I wish I was shrinking ...

Minxie is my nickname given to me when I first met him indoors. The official title is The Minx as I’m abit of minx apparently. In the early days this was the only name his friends knew and it’s stuck

I think mine is self explanatory! There's a lot of hope going on in my life.

My friends husband always use to refer to me, light heartily, as Barmey Old Bat when I got things wrong and I called him a stupid old codger. Then my gc started saying it when they were older instead of silly old nan.

A friend of my daughter always referred to me as " Jaxie (my name is Jacqueline). Someone told me that Jaxie meant ars-h-le. Being into self examination and with a guilt complex I replied," But I am an arseh-le!" Now I'm stuck with it. Not very flattering.

I am the 2nd twin by 20 minutes.

I've used mine over several decades in several places and I'm comfortable with it so why change anything? The name relates to both work and personal activity.

My daughter joked that I was ‘properly slutty’.
She was getting at me because I am pathologically house-proud, as she is herself, and there is competition as to which of us has the most spotless home.
Needless to say, since the advent of four gorgeous but chaotic GC ( two of daughter’s , two of younger son’s), neither of us can maintain the polished perfection we once aspired to.
They’ve all visited for lunch today and my kitchen still looks post-apocalyptic, so I really am a bit slutty right now!

Initial of nickname, the colour of my hair and my age at the time!

This is me, doing what I like best. My 90 year old aunt said I was growing old disgracefully, hence my username!

Mine is not half as imaginative as some of yours. I am a nanny to seven so nanny27.

I’m step gran to 2 DGCs & their biological grans live much closer to them than I do, so I accept that my position is 3rd in line. I still love them to bits though, they’re gorgeous ?.

I really love reading the Gransnet daily blog, but hesitate to post. I live in Seattle and enjoy reading the threads whose themes apply to the human condition worldwide. After I chose LadyKathleen and really read the other pseudonyms, I was afraid that my choice was a bit snobby sounding and arrogant which I don't think I am. I probably would choose something else if I had a choice. My actual name is Kathleen.

We have 7 of these little guys, tho have had up to 20 at one time before...

My husband, who died four years ago, used to call me Bambi and shortened it to Bam. Someone else is Bam on the site, so I became Bamm.

I'm a wife and come from Fife. Simples.

The first part is the beginning of my name and I’m a nana
