Usernames

Smileless2012

I joined GN after we were estranged by our youngest son which meant we lost our only GC. So, at the time I smiled less. That was more than 8 years ago and I'm happy to say now I smile more.

I thought of changing my user name but it reminds me of how far I've come.

So glad you are smiling more

I looked up lots of names but none suited then looked out of the window and saw my bottlebrush (Callistemon).
My hair was very short and looked just like a bottlebrush so I picked it as a username.

Since lockdown my hair isn't short and spiky now and I should change my name to something like Wild&Woolly but I prefer Callistemon.

For a while my family referred to me (quite unjustly), as the Christmas Grump. It seemed a pity to let the Grump bit go to waste.

Have you got one of these, *grumppa?
DH was given one by our kind DGD ?

My name is simply the natural colour I was its white now.

Mine is what my grandson called me when we were playing stomping our feet and being dinosaurs which like most little ones he adores. He said “ you be Grandma Dinosaur” and it’s stuck. It’s not that I’m old fashioned or anything like that ……. well I don’t think so anyway ??

Jax is a singer I like and my son used to love Jacky Cheung, it sort of flows..

When I was planning to join GN I said to my DH " they will all be domestic goddesses". He said "well they won't know you're not "! So I thought if I'm going to be a goddess then I shall be a good one. Hence Juno the Roman queen of the gods and 56 is my year of birth.

Mine is the name an Aunt used to call me.

Because I do.

Alizarin Crimson is one of my favourite paint colours.

Think Neil Sedaka was singing on the radio when I was trying to think up a username….

My family nickname was ***bags. When my eldest brother phoned to congratulate me on the birth of my first GD he called me Grannybags instead so it seemed a good idea to stick with it!

Named after my horse.

I think we`ve done this before, but here goes.
I was a GPO telephonist many years ago, so my first username was numberplease. After difficulties getting into Gransnet a couple of years ago, I changed to callgirl1, still reminiscent of my long ago job.

Where did Shinamae come from?

Not sure,it just came into my head,would like to change it but will have to stick with it I think…

Pet name of Mr LD

It rhymes with part of my name and was my nickname at primary school - and it has nothing to do with my hair - which is straight!

Because I live on a corner.

I’m the name of a children’s toy making company which makes replicas of real household items for children to play with.

I'm not very good at thinking up usernames. So I looked around, saw the coffee in front of me, and just used that.

Mine is short for my middle name, Delia, known by close family as Dilly as another, and the gardener because I am a keen but bombastic gardener.

I loved hearing the meanings behind your names Curlywhirly and Lucky legs I often wondered what they meant!

Of course

Thank you 3dognight

I thought it might be to do with the chocolate bar!

I chose my username because I only have one brain cell left.
