Forum names

[Nelly]

I know some are probably quite obvious, just curious where people get their forum names from.

Mine comes from childhood and still lingers now as a nickname. Not quite sure how my actual name (Helen) and Nelly are linked though

[glastomad]

I hate my name of this when i signed up i was young and drunk and couldn't think of anything better :/ would love to change it to phenix-nights with phenix being my middle name but im fairly sure i can't change it now?

on my other forum I stole im whatme? stolen from whatme of here that fits in quite well as its an urbex forum and as i've never thanked you cheers for that one whatme

Nelly-Thats spooky-my older sister is called Helen and was also known as Nelly many years ago (going back to the 70's now)..

Vaguely remember being told that Nelly was an old variation of Helen backwards

Mine is very boring-Lived in Stockwell for nearly 30 years and used to watch/follow Arsenal (The Gooners) all over the place. Couldn't think of another name so exstockwellgooner it is...........

[Nelly]

I do know other Helens with the nickname Nelly and that actually makes sense its being an old variation backwards - thanks for that, am going to go and google it now

[exstockwellgooner]

Found this

a prudish or affectedly modest person, who uses euphemisms also sp. nice Nellie

Wow I'd never have guessed

[MrsBee]

Bee is my shortname that hubby has always called me as my name is Bev (yes I know it's not really any shorter but.......) and when he gets home he always says "hello Mrs", hence MrsBee. Not a very exciting explanation really, lol.

Also, bees are actually rather fascinating, used to be phobic of them, now it's just wasps (although sometimes I do get a little confused until I establish if it's a bee or a wasp!)

[MrsBee]

OOOOOHHHHHH Look, I've become a "worthy raver" Lol! I didn't notice that change Obviously been posting too much and I haven't even been to Glasto yet, hahahaha

[Nelly]

Oooo yay! I'm spending far too much time on this forum and watching old Glasters vids on youtube its getting ridiculous. Mr Nelly is out tonight and I've got Sleepless in Seatle on the telly and checking here every so often

[stinkywitch]

I was always called smelly Kelli by my brothers, that evolved to stinky and i'm not sure where the witch bit came from but I have been known as it for years. I am known as stinky in real life to quite a few people, raises a few eyebrows when i'm shouted from across the street!

[whatme]

Whatme and Whimpeh (me twitter name ) were always my game names, when i played mmropg's (when i had to much time on me hands )

Borring but true

[Hash4Cash]

i only use this name on glasto forums. So how did i come by this name?

It was early 90's cant remember which year but we were camped at the top of pennard hill when it was far less busy and we had some mash potato left over from the previous day and i was hungry, so i made the mash into fingers and fried them on the fire. They were great, and i handed some out to my friends, and one said: "You could sell them... Hash for cash."

[dinkyxox]

av a gud guess at my name bet u cant guess why im called it ha ha

[akicif]

Mine's from a domain name I used to use (the domain name itself was from the acronym "all knowledge is contained in fandom" and was going to have been my company name when I first started consulting).

[subtitlesonly]

@subtitlesonly is my twitter name also.
I was known by another name on other festival forums (that I don't use anymore) and so wanted something different. When first registering, trying to think of something unique, the TV remote control was in front of me , hence, subtitlesonly simple really

[char40too]

Mine is not very original - char short for Charlotte, I was 40 last year and since Glasto was celebrating their "special birthday" as well I added too

It was the best birthday prezzie EVER - can't wait for this years experience

JUNE IS HERE!!!

[Dirkthemerc]

I have a rather large Merc.Called Dirk.So................

(Don`t swap Merc & Dirk around as is make the above sentence sound a bit pervy)

[wozle]

mine is a nickname from the other half...
my real name is maisie, which he changed to maizle, which then went to waizle, with then went to wozle! which has now stuck.
strange boy.

[shelley]

Really boring - mine is just me, although I get called numerous versions of shelley like shelldon, shellbert, or just plain shell.

[Lou]

I'm Louise, so another boring forum name I'm afraid. When I joined last year, I really wanted to post something and my mind went blank trying to think of a name...

[glastomad]

Lou who one came first, 'lou' or 'lous other half' ??

[Lou's other half]

Lou who one came first, 'lou' or 'lous other half' ??

Lou signed up first... I sat staring blankly at the screen muttering, "I want to sign up... but I can't think of a name..." And yes, my parents gave me a perfectly good name - not sure if I was trying to at least be a little more original than Lou or if it actually didn't occur to me (entirely possible). I have enough difficulty at work when I have to change my password every six weeks and I sit there for about 10 minutes thinking, "I need a word. A word. Any word will do. Why can't I think of a bloody word?" - imagine my trauma when it came to choosing a user name??

[Lou]

not sure if I was trying to at least be a little more original than Lou or if it actually didn't occur to me (entirely possible).

What an unimaginative pair we are!

[Minxycat]

Minxy is the name of my cat hee hee.

[KG56]

Mine is quite sad really! My car is a Karmann Ghia from 1956 - hence KG56
