Whats In A Name
It has always interested me how people choose their username.
PollyPie I have used for a long time. Easy, Im a Brit and Polly Put the Kettle on!!!!!
When I first used the name, Polly was taken so I added Pie. I do so love pastry Mmmmm:) and they go together quite well.
Some names here I think are real names, and some are obvious, eg PamfromTX lol !!!
But what of others like Turnkey, Padraig, Passaggio. woodsie, kookaburra, nmod, sandlapper, cinta
How did you choose your username?

From a book title. Waylander by David Gemmell
Thanks Way. What was it about this book? Did you identify with the main character?
He was an assassin who turned over a new leaf after being visited by the ghost of the king he killed.
Did I identify? You work it out. Lol
Yeah. I think Ive worked it out 😉
Hello. I just took the first three letters of my surname and added the first three letters of my first name. Not very imaginative, eh?
This is the first time I have used my ‘real’ name (Pam, short for Pamela) since I started chatting. I have always used “Tamara”. Guess I felt a little adventurous. LOL
From a Place Mat on my dining room table,
I had a choice of….Latte,Espresso,Cafe Au Lait,Coffee and Cappuccino.
I think your sign in name is very unique, Cappuccino; love it.
Great question Polly. The name Passaggio is a singing term, which means a passage through your vocal registers. Such as going from chest voice into head voice. Aren’t you glad you ask? hahahahaha
i was always called pollie at school then it stuck when i left school and started work… cos’ my friends abbreviated my proper name…so there ya have it lol!! pretty borin really hahaha!!! 😀 😀
Merver, All names need an imagination, Its nice to know how you come by them 🙂
Pam, so you were TamarafromTX? LOL
Cap, you made the best choice from your place mat. Mind you, latte comes in 2nd place 🙂
Passaggio, are you a professional singer? I love the way you picked your name.
Pollie is never boring hahaha ‘pretty pollie’ ‘pollie wanna cracker?’ 😉
I was just, “Tamara”, silly! 🙂
How I wish I could remember why I picked that name! Hahahaha…
Lolo was an old grade school nickname, as my real first name is Lois. Meowsie was the name of my dearly departed pet!
And lo1234 was already taken by your twin sister. LOL I just couldn’t think fast enough when I joined. I just couldn’t wait to get chatting. Hence, lo for Lois and plain old 1234 to follow. Also easy to remember!
Millie is my middle name.. I wanted some anonymity at first as I didn’t know anything about a chat site…didn’t know what to expect. Then I was glad b/c I found there were several other ‘Linda’s’ on the site and it would’ve gotten too confusing. I think i’ve only run into one other Millie tho — anyway, not all that interesting of a story, but it’s mine 🙂
I chose my name as it is a Celtic name meaning Katie, my daughters name.
Mine is a nic-name given because I blush at everything. :0}
lolo, You chose to remember your pet, and many people do. We miss our pets dearly:(
Millie is a lovely name, and to me, its very interesting. We all have different ideas. 🙂
Catraoine, thats beautiful.
Blush, what can I say….. I guess whatever I say, it will make you blush…. lol 😉 love it !
nmod it’s a combination of my names and the way I used to sign my art work when I was pretending to be an artist 🙂
nmod, me too. Ive been a pretend artist too lol 🙂 Only did 4 or 5 . Thanks for your input nmod 🙂
mine is just my initials and i own a jcb hee hee!
I hope you didnt use that in your younger days as a pick-up line….
“Hey sweet chic, wanna come for a cruise in me jcb 😉 ” Hahahahaha
lolol
Mine is because i am attracted to bright twinkly things.
🙂

I am not irish myself Pad, husbands grandparents on both sides were though. I knew what your name meant as I looked it up..:)
ah Pam is it not cause u liked Pamela barnes from dallas lolol
when i needed to find a username I wanted to use part of my name. Nearly all Chris or Christine’s had numbers with them. Hubby called me chrissie, so I added the welsh, took away an s and welshchrisie was born. I have never seen another either.
Well Anne Marie is my given name but I go by Marie . So I decided I would use both names for my username.
When I was thinking about a user name, I wanted something unusual. So as I was sat thinking, It suddenly came to me that I make a very nice Apple & Blackberry Crumble…..so that’s how Crumble was ‘born’……..simples lol.
So cute, Crumble… love it.
lol and how i love my crumble lolol
oops crumbles
Wow, Ive woken up to some wonderful answers.
Starlett and twinkly things is so apt 🙂
Welshchrisie says it all. Taken from your country and your hubby 🙂
Annemarie because there is no pretence. You are, who you are. I love it 🙂
Oh Crumble….. How apt, and we ALL love crumble. 🙂
What can I say Pad. That is so interesting. Thanks for the Irish lesson xx
As most of you know Scooter is my four legged baby…..I put the ms in front so people would know I was a female….so many people have asked me if i ride a scooter lol…..
Well Pollypie, my real name was already taken by a lovely lady, so I chose an abreviation of a “stage name” I use when dancing. The full name is Shalina (meaning healing wind-spirit) and I use Lina as a shortened version..It’s easy to write and I don’t forget it either – at my age that is important! lol . thanks for asking that question, the responses have been very enlightening and interesting. xx
Woodsie is an easy one surname Wood and called for a long time at work “Woodsie” so be it
Lol woodsie, youve made your surname really cute by adding ‘sie’ 🙂
Scooter (the 4 legged) is adorable and the ‘ms’ and now ‘mr’ explains it all 🙂
What a wonderful meaning ‘Shalina’ is. Thanks for shareing Lina, and I agree, the responses have great 🙂
I should change my sign in name to “Dumpling”… as I feel and probably look like one. 🙂
I really like dumplings lol
My name is self explanatory lol and pam dumplings are lovely. Xxx
Ha, thanks, Gran. 🙂
Kathy Bates used the name Ta Wanda in Fried Green Tomatoes. hence Wanda. There is also a fish called Wanda, of course 🙂
Just how I felt at the time 🙂
Well done grandmaj, and I agree, dumplings are the best 🙂
Wanda, I so love Kathy Bates, she is so diverse.
Lol Kranky….. weve all felt like that at some time 😉
Thanks for posting
