Weird & wonderful names!

That wasn't to you Phoenix ?

....or is it a copy cat?

I have told this before, but mine is because I always try/hope to rise from the ashes!

Just wanted to hello again

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.

Mine goes without saying. [cheers]

I have unfortunately spelt mine wrong. The penultimate letter should, of course, have been a 't'.

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 needed an email address to register so I used the one I share with Grampy for general stuff. Just used the name too .

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 tried a few but they were already used. My sons can act in mad ways though at times! Perhaps it should have been
Madmumofboys though!!

My name is just me

KATEK, that will be stuck in my head forever now !

I pinched mine from a novel.

DS's affectionate name for his mother!

Mine is the last holiday I had before joining and it was fresh in my mind.

A pet name

Mine is because I love the plant but had 'fat finger syndrome' when I signed up and pushed the 'send' button before checking!

morethan2, that's lovely

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.

Wish I had given it more thought too, there are some really good names on here. I love WilmaKnickersfit.
felice - my birth name was Moira

Name my sister made up for me on a website Irma L Bug

The name my birth Mother gave me and which is on my first birth certificate.

You'll have heard of the journalist Nina Nannar.
Nina is connected my name, so I did a slight adaptation.

I borrowed mine from the Chalet School Books - a great favourite of mine which I still collect and reread.
