People's usernames intrigue me - I've got clear pictures in my head of what people look/sound like based on them . So I was wondering how they came about? Mine is because that is what my first grandson called me for ages before he could properly say 'Grandma'. I also like gammon but that's not the reason!
My cousins used to call me this when we were all children. No idea why. I was also called Pudding by my family. I was always small and slight not at all pudding-like. I rather like the ring of my username now, though I hated it then!
Where I live everyone who has a baby girl seems to refer to her as their princess and dress her in pink. While I am certainly not a baby girl anymore I had a stupid thought that I would love to be a pink princess and be spoilt. It was the same time as I joined Gransnet so I thought I will be called that on here. I have changed my mind about being spoilt and never wear pink as it does not suit me. I still would like to be a princess though, so I will stick to it.
cosafina your name in Spanish does indeed mean something fine. Cosa= thing, item Fina= fine, delicate, refined
Cosa fina is a colloquial expresion to depict something as excellent, exquisite (although sometimes may be used sarcastically)
My name is from the book A Girl of the Limberlost which I read when I was around thirteen. I felt pity and admiration for the main character, Elnora Comstock.
