How did you get your Gransnet name? (lighthearted)

Have a guess! 😃

Joan Armatrading sung this lovely song "Willow", but it was taken, so I became "Wyllow".

those who who know about me and ending an abusive relationship but regaining strength and confidence will know why I chose it.

My mam always said whywhywhy when things weren’t going right. Now I think of her. 🤗

I was also in an abusive relationship (marriage) for a long time. It’s still possesses my head at time. My crafts help.

We had been to Petra the week before I joined. 11 years ago.

I joined GN when we became estranged from our youngest son and only GC. I was 'smileless' at the time but more than 12.5 years later, smile more than I used too.

Mine was initials of the family cats. Not sure where 61 was from

I was in Ashcombe house at school.

I had an Emma Bridgewater polka dot notebook by my side

Mine is because my maiden name was Peace

My name is the Cornish meaning of my real name.

I am Cornish.

I am guessing you are also called Jennifer 😁

Mine comes from the first two letters of my favourite things: cats, books, wine and chocolate.

My paternal grandmother’s name and my second Christian name on my original birth certificate.

I changed my original name because I realised it could identify me. Whilst thinking of a new name I poured a 🍷

My fave biscuit 🤭

Has anyone else noticed the sad fact that obviously fun threads now have to have the words ‘light hearted’ in the title?

Yes, sad isn't it Oreo

The 'bags' is part of a family nick name given to me when I was little. I just swopped the first part for Granny as I had just become one 13 years ago

Gingster

No idea. Think it just came up and I took it.
I’ve never eaten a Gingster pie in my life although others might think , I gorge on them 😂

No - they’re ‘Ginsters’ pasties - no 2nd ‘G’!

Ladyleftfieldlover

I’m a lady with a small ‘l’ and I love a band called Leftfield

I’ve often wondered about yours! So unusual.
I always shorten it to LLFL and assume you don’t mind as you’ve never pulled me on it. 😁

MrsBrianJones - because I wish I was 💜

Not my choice of name.
(I'm saying no more!) 😉

Enchanted to find seahorses were real creatures and not fairy horses....I then discovered seadragons ......!! I see there is another fan now on Gransnet......

My name and the initials of my grandchildren

Play on words. I'm almost sorry it's not actually mine, although I do my best NOT to live up to it, but well .......sometimes just a teeny weeny bit, depending on the circumstances of course!

Mine sounds like a quality I try to cultivate. It probably should be ‘mrsworryguts’ !

I have had a career as a professional musician - teaching piano, violin and viola and as an accompanist. I have been a musician all my life so my username was easy.
