A rose by any other name?

I pinched my name from the Terry Wogan show. I prefer to be anonymous, although sometimes I use my real name in PMs.

Wobblybits I didn't realise either you were Pompa. For some reason I think of women having wobbly bits!

I love your name Wilma , always makes me smile.

I always use my real name in pms, I don't have any reason not to I guess ,

I twigged who Wobblybits was the first time I saw him mention Mrs P. in a post. I think he has become more cheeky with each name change!

Were you also GandTea, Pompa?

Ruby why not Ruby in RL.
Especially if it means something to you

Cherry I use Ruby from when I used to go on the CB radio, it was my handle then so I've used it ever since. It is my birthstone too so that is where it came from originally, and, of course, I am a lady.

Where did your name come from? X

I'm pretty sure he was GandT shysal. Such a distinctive personality, he is easily identified IMO.

Ruby we have a lovely Cherry tree in the garden. My DD was living with us when she had our first GS.
As it was summer when he was born I would sit with him in the shade under
the tree.
It is a memory that I treasure.

I now put a rug under the cherry tree for all three GS to play on.
They came along like buses,
One after the other.

I remember the CB radio days
I was Bud and my sister was Ben.

What a beautiful memory Cherry.

Yes, CB radio was the social media of our time, wasn't it?

Quite often when I see some of the names people use I can't help wondering what they look like, in real life I am sure they are nothing like I imagine. It's interesting knowing how people choose their names. Mine is what I call my little car, not quite sure how that came about though.

My favourite name on mumsnet is lesismiserable. Makes me chuckle every time.

Pompa, G&T, Bogoff, WB's and they are the polite ones. But Mrs P has always been Mrs P.

I'd love to go back to Pompa. I'm good at pomping

That's a good one, kitspurr - funny and witty!

I like the name Wobblybits. It makes me smile every time I see it or type it. Please stay as Wobblybits.

I thought CB users were all truck drivers!

I don't like my name Falconbird very much. It sounds very sort of severe and I'm not at all like that. I can't be bothered and don't know how to change it anyway.

I don't like my name either but I am impatient and after having two names rejected (and I have never seen posters using either of those names) I thought bet no one has picked Mildred. So here I am not a grump but usually in a hurry.

We used to have a cat called Mildred. She was a real sweetie!

My favourite name on here must be Parsleywin. I don't really know why

Ana Yes, I was a truck driver!

The name Falconbird made me think of you soaring high in the sky, rather lovely. Not in the least severe.

Thanks millymouge - I like your name, it sounds sort of French.

Falconbird makes me think of gentle Native American people

I've always used my own name, on other forums too. Except sometimes I'm PatF.
Family call me Tricia, other people call me Pat, so I suppose I'm easily identified.
