No I've not got any Russian blood - it's just my sisters nickname for me. A friend has also shortened it and mangled it's Russian overtones and now calls me Bobski, so I sometimes use that too...
Mine is my old work log on name although I sign myself Halkirk Chickie which is what I wish I had chosen in the first place.
RockChick84
04-Aug-06, 13:26
I chose my name because I am a huge fan of rock music and 84 is the year I was born.
I was inspired to give myself this name because of the name of the ancient kingdom of Rheghed which span from Glasgow to north wales in the 6th-9th century. The heart of which is now Cumbria where I was born, it is believed by some historians that St. Patrick was a Rheghedian as well!
Rheghedians had their own language called Cumbric, a branch of Old Welsh, which is unfortunately lost into antiquity but remnants still survive today in shepherd counting songs.

tillygirl
04-Aug-06, 14:08
I chose tillygirl because of Tilly Trotter by Catherine Cookson
sj are my initials... wahwah either something to do with Jimi Hendrix.. water... or I don't really know why.. was spontaneously typing at the time.
Elenna is the name I chose a few years back for the fanfics and RP sites I belong to and co-manage. Its the only nickname I've ever had, and I guess it suits me because the people I have now met from those sites call me Elenna rather than my everyday name. :lol:
My horse's name is Razz quite boring really!:D
Tiger Jones
04-Aug-06, 20:26
I was raised by a family of tigers from the age of 2 when I fell out of a plane that was flying over an uninhabited area of Asia known as Jonesland.
Well, that's not quite accurate...
My surname is Jones and one of my nicknames is 'tiger' - partly because they are my favourites of all the big cats.

04-Aug-06, 20:39
Self explanatory really
A Caithness Chicky born and breed! :D
I live near the Thames by Oxford and the river is called the Isis around there.
Also, I was eating some Oxford Isis cheese when I was signing up.
It stinks but tastes great.

Mines is a secret. Only me and my best friend know.
Jean is part of my name, and as we have other family members with the same name and I am the older one, I am -- big Jean !!! Could have been worse, it might have been --" old Jean " !!! tee hee
Nickname from school. Came about by combining the first letter of my first name with my surname without the first letter.
I was inspired to give myself this name because of the name of the ancient kingdom of Rheghed which span from Glasgow to north wales in the 6th-9th century. The heart of which is now Cumbria where I was born, it is believed by some historians that St. Patrick was a Rheghedian as well!

Yan, Tan, Tathra. If my memory serves me correctly, though I'm no so sure about the spelling. I never knew the origins though. I know The old Cumbran farmers used a lot of words peculiar to the area, in fact in many ways a language separate from any other.
I settled on JAWS beause I'm Just Another White Settler.
I believe that all people have the right to be insulted equally, myself included.
And no, it is not something I have ever heard used to describe me.

I'm getting a feeling of deja vu here Rheghead - was it you who said it before? A bit cheeky R - not like you at all [smirk]
Moira is my best friend - and a big part of my life ;)
Mine is because I have been wishing for some nice news for along time now, hence my username "Wish":D

Sounds kinda like my real name - with a much more interesting spelling!
Mine is my real name; reckoned there are so many Anns in Caithness it would take a while to suss me out!
Bottom line is I don't mind people knowing who I am but sometimes I wish I had used something more glamorous and mysterious.
my username rs 2k was thought up to reflect one of my interests

I was raised by a family of tigers from the age of 2 when I fell out of a plane that was flying over an uninhabited area of Asia known as Jonesland.
Well, that's not quite accurate...
My surname is Jones and one of my nicknames is 'tiger' - partly because they are my favourites of all the big cats.
Excellent - another JONES!!! Jones by birth or by marriage out of interest? Love the picture of the tiger - that should be the trade mark of all us Joneses because it's strong, graceful, noble and unbeatable!!!!!!!! :p Woohooo!
As for my username, I was having a phase of drinking hot cocoa most nights last winter and so I decided to use it as a name on the "org" !

07-Aug-06, 21:01
I was listening to the radio when I signed up. They were playing 'When a Man loves a woman' so my username is a slight twist on Percy Sledge. The toboggan bit is also a homage to the funniest Scotsman I know of, and his hilarious story of a tobogganist.
Well, my Name is Robin and 170491 is my birthday 17/04/1991

Well, I'll be keeping 'Jones' even if I do get married. I'm not keen on taking any future wife's surname, you see. Unless she's also a Jones and then I may reconsider ;)
I agree with your trade mark idea. grr :D
Cocoa, eh? That's part of the chocolate making process. Mmm cho-co-late.
taylor cause thats my name and .4 cause there's 4 in the family.:lol:
Jones is just the best surname ever (a pretty biased opinion :lol: LOL)
Yep, I am another Jones in case you're wondering!! I actually have the privilege of being Cocoa's beloved wee sis [lol]

Yes, cocoa is indeed a good part of chocolate - yum yum!!

Hey, don't forget me!!! [lol] As Patsy's older sister, and Cocoa's younger, I am yet another JONES!!! Speaking of which, has anyone heard about the meeting of Joneses that will take place on November the 3rd this year? I did a search and here is what I found:
July 18th 2006
In the north Wales town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, S4C will tomorrow announce its plans to stage the biggest get-together of Joneses in the world, breaking the Guinness World Record for the largest same surname gathering.
S4C hopes to fill the 1,600-seat Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff with an audience of Joneses at a variety show starring a host of famous Joneses, in order to break the record, currently held by Sweden for a gathering of 583 Norbergs.
I really hope they succeed and break the Guinness World Record! It sounds really exciting...
Whooopeee! Go Joneses!!!! :D
Oh, and not to forget the topic of this thread: I chose my username simply because I play the piano, and Steinway & Sons are one of the best piano manufacturers in the world!

I knew about 4 of them! I can only imagine how it would be with another 1600. :lol:
Do you think Tom will go? How about Davy Jones of the Monkees? David Bowie?

What's your story?:D
I wanted something Scottish, because I was born and brought up in Scotland. On the spur of the moment, I chose Sporran, inspired by a photo of a friend in Highland dress. However, I sometimes wish I'd chosen something more feminine sounding - like Heather, for example.

Hello Tiger (or should that be 'Grrrrrr'?!!! [lol] ),
Time to introduce myself as another Jones!!! Your thread has made me come out of the closet to reveal my identity.... I'll let the quick-witted 'Orgers' reason for themselves as to my connections with the smart cookies here on the Org....
My husband's favourite animal is also a tiger, but meantime we have to be content with our domestic moggies 'pawing around'!! I guess it would come as a bit of a shock if one of the smart cookies informed me that there was a tiger in the garden... A good excuse to get out of doing any weeding!!!
Regarding the topic of the thread:
I do not have a nom de plume, nor an alias; I decided for various personal reasons to be myself !!.... ;)

"canuck" is a French Canadian (Quebecois) version of Canadian.
