How did you get your Gransnet name? (lighthearted)

Yes, sad isn't it Oreo

The 'bags' is part of a family nick name given to me when I was little. I just swopped the first part for Granny as I had just become one 13 years ago

My fave biscuit 🤭

Has anyone else noticed the sad fact that obviously fun threads now have to have the words ‘light hearted’ in the title?

I changed my original name because I realised it could identify me. Whilst thinking of a new name I poured a 🍷

My paternal grandmother’s name and my second Christian name on my original birth certificate.

Mine comes from the first two letters of my favourite things: cats, books, wine and chocolate.

My name is the Cornish meaning of my real name.

I am Cornish.

I am guessing you are also called Jennifer 😁

Mine is because my maiden name was Peace

I had an Emma Bridgewater polka dot notebook by my side

I was in Ashcombe house at school.

Mine was initials of the family cats. Not sure where 61 was from

I joined GN when we became estranged from our youngest son and only GC. I was 'smileless' at the time but more than 12.5 years later, smile more than I used too.

We had been to Petra the week before I joined. 11 years ago.

I was also in an abusive relationship (marriage) for a long time. It’s still possesses my head at time. My crafts help.

My mam always said whywhywhy when things weren’t going right. Now I think of her. 🤗

Joan Armatrading sung this lovely song "Willow", but it was taken, so I became "Wyllow".

Have a guess! 😃

This is not my name, but I do play the old Joanna. ( Cockney rhyming slang).

I’m a lady with a small ‘l’ and I love a band called Leftfield

No idea. Think it just came up and I took it.

Go Ask Alice was a book I read as a teenager which had a huge impact on me.

When my grandchild was small like most children he loved dinosaurs (still does) and he used to like playing at being dinosaurs stomping around the room etc. He decided which dinosaur he wanted to be and I had to join in with him saying to me “you be Grandma dinosaur” and that’s how I decided on my user name.
