Your wonderful pseudonames

Many many years ago I used to ride a motorbike, wearing yellow waterproofs and a yellow helmet with a peak - one day someone said I looked like a yellow canary in them - brings back memories of going out and about on the bike. One time as well went to the local carnival as a canary with my young sister as a witch.

My middle name - after my Nana and my Mum and the initial of my first name.

A nickname given to me many, many moons ago by a guy from Scotland and connected to my actual first name. If he could see me now!!!!!!!

GabriellaG54 - actually, I like "pseudonames* better

... and some of them are not fake or false, which is what 'pseudo' means in Greek so a wee change to the word makes it friendlier.

Elenka is my grandaugters name,wish I could attach a photo but don’t know how (Lubleton ) is just made up.

How I felt after my first grandson was born! Not only had I seemed to have forgotten everything to do with bringing up children, my DIL's mum delighted in telling me everything I was doing wrong, and how things were now done in a' new way'! Well, I have let her get over herself, and with GC 2 and 3 I feel confident again now and realised the key is to relax. But my first year as a grandmother was a bit unhappy, doesn't seem to have affected GC no 1, we have a very happy silly relationship on the whole and I so love him, and all of 'em!

My husband calls me Grandma to GS but GS call me Nanny

cos i'm just one step beyond everyone else

A nickname I've had since my teens!

My second daughter has an unpronounceable ( apparently!) Scottish Gaelic name. She became so annoyed at people mispronouncing it, or worse, telling her she was wrong in the pronunciation of her own name! She gave up and called herself Mog, it’s her initials,
I’m her maw.

In a secret Santa at school in 1976, I was given a little model of a hurdy gurdy that played Lili Marlene.

I loved it, and kept it for years, but it got lost in one of my house moves, sadly.

I use the name as it reminds me of my school friends, most of whom I have lost touch with.

I am not Italian, but love things all Italian and I have four grandchildren so opted for Nonnatimesfour. I probably would choose something completely different another time, something more romantic and less obvious :-)

I love all the ‘monikers’! I obviously have all the creativity of a plank of wood, as I am a Nanna and was born in ‘58, blinding eh??

very cryptic..

Because we had just celebrated our Sapphire anniversary (45 years). And we didn't know it was to be our last one. And he had the previous Christmas bought me a beautiful antique sapphire bracelet.

Mines pretty obvious really.

Venus is the brightest star in the sky and that's something I try and aspire to.

It's what my first grandson in Australia called me because I used to amuse him with a toy Nemo fish when we were on Skype. As soon as he saw me he used to say NemoNanna. Now he's older it's just plain Nanna.

Only just started to contribute rather than just reading posts when I joined the 'read 50 books in a year' forum. My husband says that '"you're always reading' so alwaysreading1 was born. Didn't stop to think how silly it might look if i joined in with anything else. Oh well never mind

'nuff said!

My very first grandchild was so adored by everyone we referred to her as ‘Lady’ Olivia ?

Marilii simply because it's close enough to my real name so that I won't forget it. Grin.

Because it's how I felt and still do after my DH passed away so suddenly 19 months ago

It was the first thing that came into my head. Goodness knows why!
