Clanger was my school nickname - and still is to people who knew me then. I first needed a 'handle' when I joined Imps forums and we are red imps so I just put the two together.

My screename is really sparkling_quavers as in the musical quavers. This ended up shortened to "sparkly" on a brass banding forum and it stuck.

My registered name was Ninnyscrops. Twin nieces, 30 odd years ago, couldn't pronounce Linda and it came out Ninda, then shortened to Nin then extended to Ninny. My new name "downtoearth" seems to be where I spend most of my time now! ;D

Many thanks for all the replies,
I really enjoyed reading them.

One left me wondering, and that was froglegs. Were you into frogs or were they referring to your legs?

Georgie, I thought your name was Georgina, never dreamt it had to do with George Best ;D

this threads explains where some of the members have gone - you haven't gone anywhere just changed your screen names. :D

I missed you ;D

My screen name and avatar fit my personality.

Had to go and Google your name Eristic, would never have had you down as argumentative, you seem so nice ;D ;D ;D

post often gets delivered to me under my screen name, I've been known as TonyBloke for years!! ;)

Sinbad7 · « **Reply #72 on:** January 13, 2009, 00:15:07 »

I've noticed people tend to call me by my screen name more than my real name, so came to think the screen name suited me more.

I love stars in a clear sky ;D

Paulines7 · « **Reply #74 on:** January 13, 2009, 00:36:23 »

Just used my name but then found that there was another Pauline so added the day I was born on. :D

Lindsay · « **Reply #75 on:** January 13, 2009, 08:23:31 »

I wanted to be honest and use my own name, but Julie was already taken, so used my surname (married name, nicer than the maiden name!) instead. Simple really! :)

Tinkie_Bear · « **Reply #78 on:** January 13, 2009, 11:47:01 »

For many years my hubby and step son have given me a varity of names, so much so that I am shocked when they call me Helen, my favorite names they have given me are Tinkie and Bear and as there was already a Tinkie then I combined the two. I could also have been LP (little pig, hubby is BP - big pig - and James was MP - mini pig at the time but then he grew and became middle pig!!)

This thread is very interesting !

I am a Philippa which always seems an bit long winded and posh so was always more of a Pip .... Then some friends started calling me Pippy and it's just stuck!
