Gransnet Names

It's the War of the Roses then if having a trio of us confuses people!

Right - who was here first?

(I don't think it was me)

I like Leticia, I always think of a noble Roman lady.

Leggings guilty as charged.

onesies you have got to be Joe King ! What do you take me for Absent?

actually don't answer that

Absent yes, I'm mixing my metaphors again! It was probably a Freudian slip as she did indeed have an amazing vocabulary and grasp of the vernacular

grumppa I confess to having omitted the second first 'p' on occasions. #hangsheadinshame
My kindle thinks your name should be granola

From, the one and only ( I think) nina

Thanks Anya- I will keep that picture in mind!

There can only ever be one Vampirequeen

Anya I thought people swore like troopers but smoked like chimneys or, occasionally, kippers.

Leticia, don't change your name. I had an aunt with that name. She lived to a ripe old she, smoked like a trooper using a long cigarette holder, drifted around in lacy shawls, long skirt and crazy hats. She was elegant, extrovert, very intelligent and delightfully nutty. I loved her dearly.

I used to be NanaAnna when I joined GN at the very beginning, but found there was a NannaAnna as well. I think she still posts periodically.

Aren't there two yogas too?

I understand where you are coming from absent. When I noticed there was another kitty it made me feel rather odd and that we might be confused! I haven't seen many posts by the other one though! I get confused by the Roses (I thought there were 3).

I was told that we can't change names- we have to deregister and rejoin. Is that correct?
I would quite like to change mine. Judging by one person's opinion of me I think it perhaps paints a woman with twin set and pearls who is way out of touch! I actually took it from family history, an ancestor born in 1805 who was a farm labourer's daughter and died a pauper. (I thought it quite a name among the Mary's, Elizabeths etc)

gollybib I am pretty sure that I have mangled your name a number of times over the years, probably because I have imbibed too much , although not now at 5.15 in the evening. Soon I hope! But then you know I always mean well (I really am sorry about my rather sharp comments re leggings and even perhaps onesies too – no that's a step too far).

I have always been Gillybob and have never (yet) felt the need to change although I know there are are couple of similar names. Perhaps GNHQ should have a a policy that prevents names that are too similar.

I understand where you are coming from though Absent

Happy to be abbreviated to Grump, but always slighly sensitive to one of the ps being omitted; perhaps it's a deep-seated anxiety about whether it's the first or second p that is being left out.

I cornered the market on annodomini when I changed from my previous appellation. There are a few variations on Ann and Anne.

limey? but they might think you were a sailor.
merlotgran sounds so much more refined.

Thankyou marelli, I thought I remembered gally

Posters may not get their names capitalised when I type on the tab.

I have to look closely not to confuse Ana with Anya

I rarely drink Merlot these days (diet) but voddiewithsodawaterandfreshlime is a tad too long I think?

Great relief! I didn't think GN could cope with more than one of me

absent is a short enough name- it is sheer idleness I think to shorten it.

I find it rather different with 3 names rolled into one, I do not want to single anybody out, causing offence.

My last cat was called Charley and I added girl to identify my gender.

There used to be a Gally, rosequartz, but she changed her name.

Around the time I joined GN, everyone seemed to be changing their names. It was like musical chairs

There could only be one Galen

Although is there a Gally?

The other Lily on GN seems to be a cat!

[obviously emoticon]

Not you, absent.
