Grandparents home in Wales, of which there will be hundreds and consequently, probably thousands of grandchildren who could have chosen it!

I was too tired or lazy to think up a new one - it was the same one I’d used for ages on a forum for carers of people with dementia. Nuff sed really.

I haven't long had this username ( been a member since 2011)
But I had a technical hitch and decided on probably my favourite actresses.

Save them all!! Sorry posted too soon.

Granniesunite Tue 25-Feb-20 10:30:54

I choose mine because I was so upset at children being used as pawns in divorces cases, killed in wars, abused, excisiting in poverty. In My dream the granny's of the world unite and

Mine is also my favourite old cats name she’s been gone 30 yrs but it’s a little reminder.

I wanted to post a response quickly and just used my name plus 10. I was thinking of Ben10 which was DGSs latest preoccupation. I might change to something more interesting one day if I ever flounce and then return in disguise as so many seem to.

From where I live. Hiding in plain sight amongst 41,000 people!

I was in agony , from an undiagnosed broken ankle bone , when I chose mine ,

twinnytwin Tue 25-Feb-20 09:38:52

I'm a twin, simples.

pollyperkins Tue 25-Feb-20 09:37:06

Mentioned in another thread, Polly Perkins is a song I remember enjoying
As a child. But I’m neither pretty nor little and don’t come from Paddington green. And no connection with my real name.

annodomini Tue 25-Feb-20 09:35:09

As I've aged along with Gransnet, mine is fairly obvious.

pensionpat Tue 25-Feb-20 09:31:02

From my last job before retiring.

Charleygirl5 Tue 25-Feb-20 09:30:17

Mine is the name of a previous cat and I added on the "girl" to show which sex I am.

moggie57 Tue 25-Feb-20 09:29:31

because i love cats and my birth year..

Nannylovesshopping Tue 25-Feb-20 09:28:20

Mine is because I do?

chocolatepudding Tue 25-Feb-20 09:27:15

I love chocolate and puddings. This name has no connection to my real name and is easy to remember

kittylester Tue 25-Feb-20 09:24:14

Mine is a childhood nickname and the name of our county's major town!! Nothing clever at all.

TrendyNannie6 Tue 25-Feb-20 09:09:33

I didn’t actually choose mine, I was given it by my DD
