Hi all
I sometimes ponder over the meaning of posters' usernames and thought it might be an interesting topic for a thread.
My own "maydonoz" is the Turkish word for parsley, to reflect my many years living in Turkey, previously and also enjoy cooking so use many herbs, including parsley.
Some of you may wish to share your username meaning too.

Mine is just abbreviation of my middle name and a random letter. Thought it looked a bit ancient Egyptian......grin

I was in Ashcombe house at school. Coincidentally, I now live quite near a village with the same name.

Mine was a word I saw on a bottle of therapy oil I bought for my dog to help with her anxiety, I just thought it was a nice word. No idea what it means!!

Our previous house had a little paddock at the end of the garden where some friends of ours kept a little pony called Jet. Our grandchildren called me grandmajet to distinguish me from their other grandma.
I am not jet propelled I’m afraid.

A state of mind I cultivate...say it aloud ! Spelt thus I thought it looked like a name from Sri Lanka or thereabouts

My name just popped into my head from nowhere but I liked the sound of it somehow.

I've made many mistakes in my life: being younger again I'd have the chance not to make them again.

I obviously have no imagination!

Mine’s the same one I used on a forum for carers of people with dementia - so that should be self explanatory. I just couldn’t be bothered to think of another, though I do have a different one for another forum.
