I have been on here I think for a couple of years now and I have noticed some very weird and wonderful user names and wonder if anybody would like to share the origin of theirs?..
The first name which came to mind was my sisters name and that’s been my username ever since it’s been great fun over the years to meet up with folks and find out their real name. Thank you to those people whom I see every week on a zoom meet up. You keep me going.
Oh and by the way I had a really good night last night watching the tv awards where my favourite program Line of Duty got full recognition as did the actors on it.
Hi Shinamae Yes I also found it interesting and was curious regarding other GN's usernames so I started a thread on it about a year ago. Since then of course we've had many new members. Mine is the Turkish word for parsley to reflect on my interest in cooking and the many years spent in Turkey, my DH from there. I will enjoy reading about the new usernames.
Because I'm a writer and was always scribbling down notes and ideas as they came to me. Not so much these days though: my 'scribbling' is electronic, tapped into my phone.
I must have done something stupid because I kept trying "clever" names and couldn't get anything accepted. Finally did my own and got in so thought I'd quit while ahead !
Abbreviation of my middle name and a random letter- there was meant to be a full stop before last letter but I forgot! Think I now sound like an Egyptian pharaoh which wasn’t the original intention
