Craft Forum

I’d love to know how some of you came up with your forum posting names, obviously mine is quite obvious but for example, Louise= pinkpuppy??? why are you a pink puppy?, is it just because of your icon or did you dye the family dog pink when you were three?????

that is funny claire
My gran was maggie and I was born 1950 hence my name. xx

I couldn’t get my name ,,,,which is Kath…...as someone already had that name , so as I am a Grandma I put GranK on. I am happy for people to call me Kath however. LOL

Couldn’t get Grandma so as I play golf at least twice a week went along with that.  May have to change it soon as golf is getting rather too much for me now  

Errrr NO….. 

I love pink & dogs & when I signed up here, I’d not long brought a pink DS with a puppy game hence pinkpuppy

Nothing I entered would work, as they had all already been taken, so I just put in a random word which popped into my head, as my home town is on the coast, a tourist seaside place.

Ha ha must be a scottish thing, both my Grandma’s were Margaret, I had two Aunts and a Cousin with the same name too, and I was born in 1950.

My page name comes from my Husbands business name he gets called MrAardvark by a friend of mine, so I must be MrsAardvark LOL xx

Good question Claire!  Mine comes from the fact I had several giant house rabbits at the time I signed up for the forum.  All sadly gone now but I still have cats.  I suppose I could change it but its nice to remember my lovely British Giant girlies!

Good grief, they are big bunnies aren’t they!!
Dont be cross with me louise, I just had a mental picture of a pink splattered poodle and a little girl with pink lipstick in her hand looking guilty!!!
Yes Debbie, I had wondered about ‘seaweed’ makes perfect sense now of course!!
I wonder how I managed to get away with just using my own name?? I mean theres even two claire willises in my home town that I know of!

that’s ok Claire

Loving this post of how you all came up with your names

Mine came from a pet name my husband gave me years ago.

Long story short it’s linked to the ginger cat Snarf from Thunder cats (i’m a redhead), it was snagglepuss but over the years got shortened to snaggles or snags.  It just stuck so was the first thing that came to mind when I wanted a forum name.

The first few I tried had already been taken so I decided on mbfan as I’m a fan of Michael Ball and have seen him both in musicals and in concert. My daughter thinks I’m mad but hey, I don’t care!

love Ang x

ahhhh well mine is an old name ive used for a long time around the Gaming world, Ive shortened it, it was Copsedream I will not go it why I was called that as it was a lifetime ago ha-ha but I was on POGO and I met Mr Copse there,  well He wasnt Mr Copse then of course ha-ha,  now im just Copse…  Boy your still none the wiser and bet you wished you hadnt asked

not at all copse, I have to say i’m probably more intrigued now!!!

ha-ha hun,  back in 1999/2000 I got talking a someone online who happened to be a Cop,  so I was a little cheeky and came up with Copsedream,  but spelt it like a Wooded Glade Copse instead,  Totally boring answer but there you have it he-he..  so now I dropped the Dream off the end and Im just Copse now…    ok you can wake up now

Actually thats very clever, you cheeky monkey!
