How did you get your Gransnet name? (lighthearted)

And there was me thinking you’d just eaten a packet hulahoop!

Yes, me rpto.

Mine is an Australian name which is the name of a child whom DD taught; I just liked it.

Mine is beautiful grandma. Grandma describes me. Bella does not. But it’s Italian, as was my lovely husband.

Now with 2 grandchildren, oldest 7 and another due soon, I am no longer ‘newatthis’ however I learn something everyday!

The name of my horse

Magenta8, I'm not even sure how Aely is pronounced. I go for A-lee but some think it might be I-lee.

If I had chosen my old nickname as some have on here, I thought it might give some people the wrong idea about me, although that is debateable as my nickname was Trouble.

I'm a pigeon, obviously.

My Mums name was Frances and my Dads name Bernard
When I was younger I always hoped to be a professional novelist, and Franbern would have been the name I meant to write under. Never, actually had anything published.

I really love Snickers!

A few years ago the family decided (erroneously, I hasten to add!) that I was the Christmas Grump grandpa.

As a Maggie I grew up having that totally inappropriate song about sailors and prostitutes sung to me, so I wanted Maggiemay. It was already taken, so I’d to add a touch of mystery…

One of the DGC bought DH one of these 😁

They do all love him, btw!

Franbern and there was me thinking you were in all likelihood German. 🤣

Mine is also really boring. 65 because I was 65 when I joined 11 years ago. I was a gran.
I thought Coolgran sounded ..... Cool.

well, there was a packet on the table in front of me as I struggled to think of a name,

It’s the name of my favourite fishing fly. Like me it is small, grey and very reliable!
