Gransnet Names

I thought I had heard that Jingle was eventually given the name jinglebellsfrocks when she let GNHQ choose a new name for her.

I think Jingle had run out of other ideas having used up so many other names in the three years I have been on here. Cheers! Jingle!

there must only be one etheltbags1, I was silverfish and there was only one of me then. thinking of changing to something like 'windingup' -only joking.

No, don't change, Bellasnana. We know who you are and a lot about your recent history. We need to recognise you.

I regret picking such an unadventurous user name. Shortly after joining, I noticed there was a Bellesnan and recently a Bellanonna has popped up. Should I change mine?

I don't think I've ever come across any jinglbellsskirts or jinglbellsdresses on here

I see there's someone called Trisher on here - maybe you're a Patricia too?

My first name is Patricia, but I was only ever called that by Mum when she was cross with me. To family I'm Tricia, and people I know from work call me Pat, which I prefer because I had a lovely Auntie Pat.

But of course, Jingl!!

Yeah right!

You should all pick sensible sounding names.

My name is my middle name and the starting sound if my maiden name! My RL first name is very Scots but my surname is very, very unusual. There are only 9 of us in the UK and it's just one family. FIL, uncle, uncle's wife, DH, myself, DS, DdIL and two DGS's.

I chose my name as it is my favourite fishing fly - not because I am grey and I have been known, occasionally, to dust! If there were any other Greydusters, I have lots of other flies to choose from - for instance Woollybuggar (you may draw your own conclusions!).

My first RL name is known of course,I didn't use any imagination with that,but my maiden surname and my married surname are so common that I have always felt very deprived.

I would quite like to change my username. hildajennij is the first part of my email address, and I used it simply because I couldn't think of anything better at the time. Can you change it yourself, or do you have to go through GNHG? I can think of loads of good names now.

I have never met anyone with my RL registered first name although I've read of one or two. I have always been known by middle name, I've never heard of anyone with that name.
My maiden surname and married surnames are both uncommon too.
Off to Google my names

I don't think I've come across any similar usernames to mine. My RL married name is unusual, but having said that, my daughter found someone else with her first and surname when registering with hotmail many years ago, so she had to insert her middle initial too. She couldn't resist emailing her namesake and saying hello .

My married name is very normal and boring! which has made tracing DH's family tree difficult.
My maiden name was a bit more unusual as were many of the names in my family tree.

Before full blown dementia took my Mum she used to say "I'm going dotty" or "I must be going gaga" when she couldn't remember something. Hence my user name. It's in her memory.

Leticia I had a friend at school called Letitia. She was nicknamed Letty. She was a lovely friend, we lost touch 50 years ago. Maybe she in a GNetter too!

There are very few of the real me around. My first name is unusual and both my maiden name and married name are unusual in England. But, my BiL met and married woman who had a daughter who shared my first name and, eventually, he adopted the daughter so there are actually two of us in the same family!

Well I am a Grand and I live in the Jura, so makes sense.

BTW how unique is your normal name? I know for sure that my name combination, first name, married name and maiden name is the only one in the world- which is kind of fun.

There's me and there's also yogagirl, very confusing sometimes
I've always had the same name from day one, right back when GN was new

My name is from a poem about a Falcon by Manley Hopkins - pretentious moi

I studied it at Poly and can still remember lots of it.

I think somewhere along the line we have had another glamma but not too sure maybe a different spelling of sorts.
Also here leggings are the order of the day most days but please don't knock onesies too much as mine have kept me so cosy all winter and they are quite nice really,red with little black and white scottie dogs & cream fluffy one,just make sure hubby is home to answer the front door.
