I love the different leaf shapes and colours of the various Japanese maples.

Curlywhirly Tue 25-Feb-20 13:54:08

It's not because I have curly hair - I don't, it's straight! It rhymes with part of my name ?

Lovetopaint037 Tue 25-Feb-20 13:57:30

First thing to come to mind.

grannysue05 Tue 25-Feb-20 13:58:46

Made up in a hurry three years ago when I joined GN. My name plus DGC birthday date.
Wish now that I had taken the time to be more creative. hmm

glammanana Tue 25-Feb-20 14:37:13

I always had full makeup and hair done when at work so was always called the glamma the name stuck for years and nana was added when my DGCs came along then as one of the first GN members my name was already chosen for me

I wanted a floral name and a name that is similar to my first name. The ones I tried had been taken to I had to elongate it to make it unique.
Want to change it to a shorter one soon!

M0nica Tue 25-Feb-20 15:53:11

I started with another name, but someone sussed it, which meant I had to change my moniker, so I changed it to M0nica grin

mrsgreenfingers56 Tue 25-Feb-20 15:55:22

My jaw dropped at the thought of anyone gardening in a cream cashmere sweater. Of course, one presumes her gardener was on hand to take over the task when she had gently laid her fingertips on an exquisite plant pot and the photoshoot was over grin

I'm named after a shrub or small tree which my hair resembles, although I am trying to tame it.

Juno56 Tue 25-Feb-20 16:09:57

According to DH I am a "domestic goddess" (yeah rightgrin) so naturally I chose the queen of the gods. 56 is my year of birth.

MOnica I've often wondered if the capital 'O' was deliberate so as to distinguish you, which is what I assume.
Or was it just a typo.

M0nica Tue 25-Feb-20 16:21:34

The 'O' is in fact the numeral '0'. I was told that my name had to include a numeral, so that is how I included it.

logansnanny Tue 25-Feb-20 16:24:10

My last ever grandchilds name.We waited 15 years for him,well worth the wait.

sarahellenwhitney Tue 25-Feb-20 16:43:13

Names of late relatives and nothing like my own.

SueDonim Tue 25-Feb-20 17:14:34

I nicked mine from a book I was reading.

CurlyWhirly, are you Liz Hurley? grin

Curlywhirly Tue 25-Feb-20 17:20:37

SueDonim Oh, I wish!! She's aged so well hasn't she? No, unfortunately, I'm not remotely famous. ???

Chestnut Tue 25-Feb-20 17:34:33

No particular connection really. I like trees and wanted a simple name which was a native tree. ?

SueDonim Tue 25-Feb-20 17:40:27

Well, I shall think of you as Liz Hurley in her safety pin dress from now on, Curleywhirly!. smile

Katek Tue 25-Feb-20 17:51:34

Just abbreviation of my middle name and a random letter!

Nannyfaraway Tue 25-Feb-20 17:56:27

My Grandaughter lives in Switzerland with her Mummy ( my eldest DD and Daddy. So I chose mine to fit the situation
