A bit random for (relatively) early on a Monday morning, but I've been noticing some amazing Gransnet names & would love a few explanations. Mine? Just signed up when a very new Nanny & was, & still is, very thrilled to be one!
Mine is boring and unimaginative. I'm not Italian, just like their word for grandmother, followed by the first letter of my name. Wish I could have thought of something really original!
The name of one of my cats, never more than a couple of feet away. He nearly had a nervous breakdown last night when I went to the loo and shut the door on him!
Mines because when saying goodbye to one of my grandchildren he shouted "bye nanna love you" I shouted back "love you too" his little face dropped and he run up the path crying "I love you more than two nanna" after that it became one of our little ritual sayings. He filled my heart with sunshine.
This is the second name I have had on Gransnet and I chose it because it was more or less the direct opposite of the the first! - I had a run of bad luck and everyone was telling me I ought to change my name!!
I knew I would forget the name if I used anything else! Loved The Broons chat, DaphneBroon, I discovered The Sunday Post on my first visit to my in-laws in 1977,my Dad-in-law was an exiled Glaswegian.
When all the quips about Nicola Sturgeon looking like Oor Wullie were doing the rounds, it was good to feel part of the joke.
I chose my name because my first grandson was born in the very warm month of july 2013. And I would sit with him in the shade of our lovely cherry tree.
