Title: What's in a name?

How did everyone choose their user name for this site? Mine was a nickname my father had for me as a child  :)

It was the name of a tame(ish) pheasant (which limped  ::)) where we lived before here.

It was the name of a dog I once had....well the Honey bit anyway.

I had to read your post three times before I got it Limpy.....I read it as a Tamlish Peasant.  ::)
I really wondered where you had lived that there were peasants.... ;D

Well I guess pheasants are more common than peasants  ;D

Heck now I'm confusing myself between pheasants and peasants.  ::)

Oh there were loads of peasants.

katiecurrantbun - I've always wondered about the usernames and I'm sure each has a story! Mine is a pet name (with its own story) that one of my children had for me when he was young, and then taken up by another of the children. I won't go into the whole thing but if any of them (or my husband) came onto this forum they would identify me immediately - but I think I'm safe from that  ;D

Mine describes how I felt when it suddenly hit me that my woes could be related to the menopause and I realised I wasn't 21 anymore  :'(

Mine is the name of one of my ancestors - I like to use a name that has a connection to me but isn't a nickname that would identify me - don't want any of my family and friends recognising my name and reading about my meno symptoms!  And as I felt ANCIENT when I first realised I was going through the change, using the name of someone from an earlier generation felt appropriate  ;D

I decided CaroleM was better than my husband's nickname for me.  it's SQUEAK.  Apparently that's what I yell when I can't find something, things just go stupid etc, etc, etc.

Oh this is good  :)

Mine is a childhood nickname that one of my cousins gave me when I stayed with them when just a little bitty thing of 3 years old.  After the Bette Davis film came out two years later the nickname sort of stuck and if I wasn't to be found the mantra went up ........'whatever happened to baby jane?'  :)

Blue- a color I've always loved and identified with. All my favorite people have different lovely shades of blue eyes, a clear sky on a sunny day, sadness in struggles, peace.

Butterfly- something about the butterfly...not sure really....the renewal/rebirth, beauty, freedom...change, growth, transformation into something new.
