Mine came about when I tried to have Junie on my hotmail addy.........no chance unless I wanted to be Junie343...........so I stuck a bit on the end. I'm happy with it and think it has sort of a Spanish feel to it.

mines due to the ineffable size of my stomach my love for brown sauce sarnies and a lot of boredom
the 'boy' part is because i was a wee one when i signed up

Mines because my daughter is called Rebecca and when she was born we gave her the nickname Boo Boo, as she got older she was shortened to Boo and now 7 years later she is still called boo, and as im her mum its Mummiboo.
Pretty boreing really.

1. I am from edinburgh and I am female....

2. I am from glasgow and I am a guy...

I know, I know..its a toughy but why have it easy...

I would love to change mine, when I picked it Bagpuss was on TV at the time. I could live with until recently when someone thought I was female and then Hobby from the Stanley Ultras took the pi*s out of me.

always got called FiFi when I was younger shortened to Fi as I got older and I worked with a girl who said I reminded her of a (phoebe) Fibi not sure what she meant but thought it was kinda cute so I stuck with it.

I'd change mine if I could! Then I could say whatever I wanted.

What was the question again I was distracted by Fibi's avatar.

I would go for something a bit more masculine instead of a pink saggy old cloth cat.
I have donated but I guess you are talking big bucks to change a name?

Mine comes from a nickname the kids gave me once on holiday. It was a very windy day and we'd been on an open topped bus down the front at Scarborough then went into the SeaLife Centre. As we went in they took our photo. Nobody told me what my hair looked like or suggested I do something about it but then when we picked up the photo the girls birst into giggles and called me "wispy the wonder woman".

The "Willow" part is because I live in Willows Lane. When I tried for an email address as willothewisp or willowthewisp it wasn't available so I stuck an 'h' in and became WillowTheWhisp. People tend to shorten it to Willow though which I don't mind and I've got quite used to that by now so that when I hear someone referring to "Willow" or "Willow's" it sounds like they mean me!

As Roy got you on commission?

That's the second time today you've solicited members for donations.

I think I've told you before, but when I first joined I used to picture you in my head as looking like Kenneth Williams, who used to narrate Willow the Whisp cartoon on children's television in the 70's.

Mind you I also pictured Lettie as a Sissy Spacek look a like!

WillowTheWhisp · 27-09-2006, 22:54

Nah! stop messin about!

Not quite sure about mine. Used to be noodleman on most other sites and chat rooms. I was called noodleman because a friend commented about how i always ate pot noodles before playing football. One night he shouted " here's the noodleman".
