View Full Version : Why you chose your org name
I know a while back this question was asked before but as there are so many newbie`s now i thought i would ask again.
Why have you chosen the name you use on the org ??
Im named after my daughters poodle........GREAT , named after a dog, no coments thank-you . jan x
canuck = Canadian. It seemed like a reasonable name for a Canadian working in Caithness. Still applies now that I live in Edinburgh.
PS - Today I found an ice scraper for the car!

Kuwait in 98 .. They are not really Spiders, more like a Spider - Scorpion hybrid. I just had the wound cleaned and a shot to fight any infection. Not a big deal really.
Mine was a "petname" a boyfriend gave me....kept the name but got rid of the boyfriend ;) x
Was on the org using a joint name with OH but now on in my own right so had to choose a name. Was called Twig at school and my favourite savoury snack are twiglets. It seemed the obvious choice.

Ditto. I am of course working on the assumption no-one will connect a face to the name and confront me when I visit Caithness.

Glasgow Rangers fans are called teddybears. 1872 the year they were founded, but i damn put in 1873 by mistake when i joined lol, oh well.

Oh Fran, where to start! [lol]
As for my user name? I didn't choose it. Vim Fuego might have done, though... ;)
Mine, as some may well believe, has nothing to do with my sometimes rather "sharp" comments or prickly nature and the Avatar was one I just couldn't resist once I came across it.
JAWS is simply for no other reason than that I'm "Just Another White Settler" I came, I saw, I stayed and would now never want to live anywhere else so, for better or worse, Caithness is stuck with me.

If you want to choose a new name it means losing all your posts and starting again from scratch, I know this as I asked a few years ago.

I'm surprised it never ran off with your whole leg! That thing is huge, and I have made a mental note never to visit any country that they are home to. :eek:
Im a rangers supporter and got very used to being called "The Hun" especially when i still lived in Thurso.. "honey" sounded a bit sweeter though

I put your username into a search engine and unless your a property developer in Mumbai I will have to keep guessing.
the second coming
10-Jan-08, 18:02
'the second coming' is an album from a band I like, the stone roses. My wife started using my original name after I stopped coming on the org for a sabbatical so I took this one when I came back, as it fitted and 'the stone roses' was already taken by a sinister person I am related too.
Used to live in Badgers Holt so - I must be a badger :D . Who else would live there?

Shalom means "Peace" and I'm peaceful most of the time......not always so I need a reminder of what I should be! :lol:
Fran: Why change your name? It's a really nice name!

It's my name and was born in .....October !!:lol:
We miss you, Johno.....:~(
I chose Sporran because I'm a Scot and wanted a name that's associated with Scotland. However, I did pick it on the spor spur of the moment, and think a more feminine name would have suited me better.

"Phoenix" because I went through a stage of loving mythical creatures and needed a new username for something I forget what it was now and "200416" because in 2004 I was 16 :D and phoenix was already taken. I use it for most things now so I don't have to remember loads of usernames. lol
