YiaYia is Greek for Grandma plus I have four grandsons.

Mine is what I do and my age.

My name YiaYia is Greek for grandma and of course I have 4 grandsons.

My mum was a GPO telephonist too! There were a lot about.

My name is what I am, slightly abbreviated as the full version was apparently taken.

Like Lynn and Ruth it’s my name.
I do often think of changing it because I think that if one of my friends, relations or clients joined they would guess it was me.
If I did then I would choose something short and easy to type.

but still connected to my old job. Hubby said I was suggesting otherwise, lol

I have often wondered how you chose your name. Let's just say I knew there must be another reason than the one that immediatley came to mind!
My Grandmother was a GPO telephonist back in the late forties and early fifties.

Ah, there you are number. I knew you'd name changed, but I forgot what to. I can't seem to keep adults names in my head at the moment, even some people in real life who I know quite well (a bit scary that), but for some reason I can almost always remember children's names.
My GN name is self explanatory I think; I used to grumble about inequalities and injustice, but as I got older I challenged myself to do something about it - hence I have been an 'activist' since 1992 when I first took part in a protest march in London. I usually campaign on social, rather than political, issues, but I did campaign on behalf of a really good independent candidate at the last General Election.

Lucky it wasn't a bag of rubbish..

There was a pot of parsley on the kitchen window ledge when I was choosing a name.

Mine IS my second choice. I was numberplease because I used to be a GPO telephonist many moons ago, then one day the site wouldn`t let me on, so I had an identity change, but still connected to my old job. Hubby said I was suggesting otherwise, lol!

It was just what popped into my head for an name when I joined. Has absolutely no relevance to me as a person .

Guess what mine means...

Mine is because I do?

Soooo... what would your second choice be?
I think mine would be 'deepthinker' as I tend to over analyse everything! ?

I'm very flexible, adaptable etc and I try to be friendly

Nickname for our much loved Jack Russell.

Finch is the first syllable of the village where we live. I wanted to be goldfinch as we have them in the garden but was told there was already someone with that username though I have never seen a post from that person.

Self explanatory

Just two random words that fit. Nothing to do with my real name at all

Mine is my actual first name and the initial of my surname...very unimaginative.

Now just to put a tiny spanner in the works. I go to reply to someone on GN and I can't remember their name, especially where there are numbers involved or an odd spelling. Then I am scrolling up and down to find them ?

Very boring, just a favourite flower

Looked up Petra: how interesting!

It's my real name, you must know Joe, my DH

In fact I signed up about five years ago and I can't really remember why I chose my username, but I think I was struggling to come up with something and just decided a female version of the renowned Mr Bloggs would do.

Thank you all, for your most interesting replies.
Keep them coming!?
