Why did you choose your Gransnet Name?

Some of the names that you ladies have chosen quite intrigue me, and I wonder the story behind them. Mine is in remembrance of both my Grandmothers.

TwinLolly

Being a twin and my nickname grin

I’ve always liked her user name.
It’s very sweet.
Does your twin have a similarly sweet nickname?

Your, not her confused

Trying to think of a name that no-one else had, as some attempts I couldn’t have as others had them. I was using a ziplock bag for something and thought that might work, though I realise I have probably spelt it incorrectly 😂.

Not at all fond of my real name so was delighted to choose something that I like to be known as on here, based on my second name.
Wish I could switch in real life too!

Very boring reason: my name and my age at the time.
Perhaps I should be more creative and join again under another name.

I have 3 dearly loved adult children.

Years ago when I was an English girl living in lovely England, someone nicknamed after this song. Just hearing it again makes me want to do the Boogaloo.

It's a shortened version of my middle name plus I live close to the coast and love to walk along the beach . No imagination smile

Vampirequeen is my alter ego.

Martha, sister of Lazarus is a people pleaser. I do tend to do what I think people want me to do rather than what I want to do. My 3 sisters each are blessed with great humour, they're funny, quick witted, cheeky. I have a good sense of humour but way behind them. So to be thought of as a jolly one pleases me
