That'll be the Voila! one then.

Gayle · 14-01-2007, 15:28

I obviously put a lot of time and thought into mine!

WillowTheWhisp · 14-01-2007, 15:38

Gosh Gayle I can't work out why you chose yours!

It's funny but I'm so used to being called Willow by people these days that it feels like it's my name!

Gayle · 14-01-2007, 16:06

In my defence I did join at a time when it would have been a bit daft for me to be called something else - what would have been the point of someone called Cupcakes (and yes, it is a nickname that I used to get called) talking about the subjects that I end up talking about. Although a bit of anonymity would be good sometimes - I could say a lot more than I can say at the moment!

You could always ask Roy to ban you and then come back as somebody else.

jambutty · 14-01-2007, 16:14

In the days of austerity when everything was on ration I was, and still am, partial to a fruit slice better known as a jam buttie. Then when the call to arms came (I volunteered actually) my new navy shipmates nicknamed me jambuttie because at tea time there was always jam, plenty of bread if only a marginal pat of butter. In spite of that I would ladle copious amounts of jam onto a few slices of bread and wolf them down.

When the CB rage hit town I was jambutty on there and now jambutty on the Internet.

Mercedes · 14-01-2007, 17:46

my name is the one my mum and dad gave me

entwisi · 14-01-2007, 20:47

when I first started at Barclays they created logon accounts based on your first 6 letters of your surname and your initial. hence entwisi

It also worked on teh net for me as there is a physic lecturer at Manchester uni called Ian Entwistle who had grabbed ian entwistle logins all over teh place. I've never found a site where someone has already registered entwisi so I stuck with it everywhere.

Mine is because it just popped into my head. I did find slinky the dog in toy story quite cute though. And I am slinky.

Maybe it isn't used as often in the UK, but I know a couple of ladies with the nickname "Mel." Short for Melanie.
