Why did you choose your name?

because I am what is says on the tin ...so I am told frequently..

I wish I'd chosen something more funny/intriguing now....

Me too, LyndaW

Nothing like my own name but a combination of the names of two strong female ancestors that I identity with and admire.

So good I said it twice (sorry!)

My family called me Eggy or Eggs, my brothers still do!

I wanted to sound cool and I was 65 when I joined.

Middle name and just an initial. Not very inspiring I'm afraid.

It was the name of my previous cat who was male and I added the word girl to show what sex I am.

It's connected to my real name. Not saying anymore

Mine is half of my full name and the bach was added by my grandfather from babyhood

I had just been on holiday there.

I had an internet chum who, if I was nervous about something, would say 'Brave Heart, Tegan'; a quote from his beloved Dr Who [we met on a Dr Who forum]. He is, alas, long since gone but his words stay with me #thanksalan

that won't work; I can't get on wikipedia these days....

Sort of anagram.

Why do they call your eggs Grannyeggs? Does it sound like your 'real' name?

My old username was an anagram; my new one is a mix of one of my GC and me - and a play on the US state (not that I look a state, you understand )

Though I do sometimes

I too wish I'd chosen something clever and intriguing. I didn't give it enough thought.

I was going to be MISPRINT, but I didn't like that, so I just turned it round and added the S. Spent a long time in the print shop.

The Maggie's what I am, and my dad used to call me Maggie May (and sing that inappropriate song about walking down Lime Street to me as a lullaby ). Apparently another GNer had already baggsied the name, so I had to extend it.

For no good reason at all!

Mine is a play on words from where I live
