PoshinDevon · Post by **PoshinDevon** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 7:44 am

Some may not want to reveal their reasons but I was just curious as to why people have chosen the names that they have on this forum...I will start off, join in if you want!

PoshinDevon

My Dad took me to watch Peterborough Utd when I was 10 years old...many many years ago. I have had my character built over the last 40+ years following them!! There famous nickname is "The Posh".

After a nomadic life in the army spending many happy years in Cyprus we finally settled in Devon and have been here for the last 18years.

So hence the name "PoshinDevon".....simples!

Soner

My real name although it was not used much in my family as a child (read my book and you'll get a run down).

Before Gary-monger gets to this post: "Soner or later all will be revealed"

Regards,
Sooner

LooseBoots · Post by **LooseBoots** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 8:01 am

LooseBoots was the name of my favourite line dance plus thought it connected well with my running too.

chiangbill · Post by **chiangbill** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 9:37 am

Mine is simple. I joined 44 when we lived in Chiang Mai, i joined 44 to check out the TRNC and met nasty nick with the first few posts. So thought i may as well keep the user name. I am just pleased we did not live in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

Keithcaley · Post by **Keithcaley** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 9:37 am

Can't quite remember why I chose mine...

Oh! - Yes I can!

Oh, damn it - it's gone again...

blackbird · Post by **blackbird** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 9:40 am

Simple, I ride a Honda Blackbird....

PaulW · Post by **PaulW** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 9:45 am

I picked my name for the same reason as Keith..................hold on my name's not Keith, must be an age thing (Happy birthday Keith)

Marions · Post by **Marions** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 9:54 am

I like to know who I am dealing with and I like them to know it is me. Therefore I have to be totally honest (which suits my ethics!). But I want to know whether the earlier writer can pronounce Llanfair-pg. I have a sweater with it written on and whenh my Lebanese students (or any for that matter) complained that reading English was difficult, I merely thrust out my arms and told them to read what was written wrist to wrist. It is amazing how they then stopped complaining.
Now how about the rest of you who have names I do not know and no pictures! Why have the nomenclature you do?

chiangbill · Post by **chiangbill** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 12:35 pm

Hi Marions.

The locals just say. Llanfair-pg. Don't think many of the younger ones could say it now.

jimm127 · Post by **jimm127** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 1:59 pm

You say the young ones may not be able to pronounce it, but when I lived in Menai Bridge we always had a laugh to watch the trip buses come in to the station at Llanfair-pg and the youngsters make a fortune from them by saying the name in full for the tourists (particularly American). Good little earner in the summer, I am sure there are many that carry on the tradition!

Post by **Soner** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 2:06 pm

Jimm127 --- so why the m127?

nurseawful · Post by **nurseawful** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 2:14 pm

Funny I can't remember why I call myself Chris, as proper name is Christina!

Chris

Post by **Soner** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 2:16 pm

I think PoshinDevon means your Username = NurseAwful. What have you done that was so bad?

nurseawful · Post by **nurseawful** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 2:19 pm

Soner I did know what he meant! lol

And really never did anything 'bad' just a wee bit mischievous at times especially when i was teaching student nurses.

Post by **Soner** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 2:23 pm

Oops foot in it again... I should change my username to Dopey, can be a bit on the slow side at when it comes to sarcasm and jokes.

rocking · Post by **rocking** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 4:17 pm

I use Rocking because I built Rita on the Rocks in Lapta, at time seemed sensible when I joined forum.

Deniz1 · Post by **Deniz1** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 4:21 pm

I chose mine because my cypriot pals call me that as I am always swimming in the sea summertime.

Twaddle · Post by **Twaddle** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 5:30 pm

Because that's what I often talk a load of!

gemini39 · Post by **gemini39** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 6:07 pm

Simple Zodiac inspired + year of birth

Could have used our business name Robita Rita & Robin

Post by **Soner** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 6:12 pm

NIce one, I think I will change mine to Scorpio91

BLUE BUTTERFLY · Post by **BLUE BUTTERFLY** » Sat 28 Apr 2012 8:08 pm

Mine is because of the blue butterfly that I had tattooed on my shoulder on my first visit to North Cyprus.

shrimp · Post by **shrimp** » Sun 29 Apr 2012 2:29 am

the reason I am called shrimp is simple, I was always the smallest in my class and still now only 5ft 1 so my nickname from nursery days stuck .........x

andrew4232 · Post by **andrew4232** » Sun 29 Apr 2012 6:51 am

mine was easy to remember name and was my street number in turkey

mimi78 · Post by **mimi78** » Sun 29 Apr 2012 1:45 pm

Mimi ( la Bonk ) here !. Do you remember the TV programme Allo Allo ?.
I always admired the French resistance !.
The 78 part , well my daughters year of birth (sadly not my own year ).

delikomsu · Post by **delikomsu** » Sun 29 Apr 2012 2:33 pm

delikomsu. Crazy/stupid neighbour. That is what we are called here in Kaplica, mainly because we rescue dogs ( past tense, rescued). Will be taking the name to our house in Turkey.

scarlets · Post by **scarlets** » Sun 29 Apr 2012 7:31 pm

The Scarlets are the best and most entertaining rugby club in the UK

Mozgor · Post by **Mozgor** » Sun 29 Apr 2012 10:54 pm

My choice of user name is pretty boring - Moyra is my first name and Ozgor is my married name although I don't use it - hence Mozgor.

mamachina · Post by **mamachina** » Mon 30 Apr 2012 10:20 am

When I lived in Dorset my grand daughter called me Mama Dorset to distinguish me from her other Grandma, then I moved to China - simple!! The name just continued when i moved to another forum on MSN automatically, so i cotinue to use it now!

saucyboy69 · Post by **saucyboy69** » Mon 30 Apr 2012 1:43 pm

Oh dear, what can i say about my forum name!! i thought it was funny at the time.

I have been using it for over ten years now on various websites and forums.

Pete,

Mel7348 · Post by **Mel7348** » Mon 30 Apr 2012 2:47 pm

When I told my neighbours my name was Angela they thought I had said Angel so I'm Melek Hanim and it stuck. I am anything but as my husband frequently reminds me. 7348 is my lucky number according to the coffee cup reading, so I'm using it, ever hopeful.

Barbieb · Post by **Barbieb** » Mon 30 Apr 2012 4:20 pm

Mine is also very boring, they didn't have barbie available on Cyprus44 so did barbieb, it seemed easier just to keep it, then I did not have to remember another one, not really lazy!!!!

Marions · Post by **Marions** » Mon 30 Apr 2012 5:53 pm

This is real fascinating stuff, and I can already realise who some of you are from the descriptions. I think I know who ~Rocking is, and Jimm127 - cos he ain't a Jim, unless it is his middle name, and Nurse Awful should really change to Nurse Nice or some such, . Actually I was thinkinvg it would make for interesting reading in Cyprus Star, but maybe I should just keep it all to myself and the forum.
so come on the rest of you - why are you who you are (on the forum, that is)

cherryblossom · Post by **cherryblossom** » Mon 30 Apr 2012 9:29 pm

Working with computers all the time as a bank manager I have many names/password to memorise which are all rather boring to met security testing. When I registered for the forum I was racking my brain for a username that I could be a bit more frivolous with. As I sat at the breakfast island with my laptop and coffee I stared out of the window for inspiration. The wind blew a pink cloud of cherry blossom across the window which I took to be a sign.

Post by **Soner** » Tue 01 May 2012 7:58 am

That's what I thought.....may change my username to Raindrop... hasn't stopped raining since back in UK.

Marions · Post by **Marions** » Tue 01 May 2012 9:08 am

gee, I always thought I was romantic, but I thought she was Cherry Blossom after the shoe polish! Oh dear. Maybe I should change my name into something catch, and forgetable and anonymous.

cherryblossom · Post by **cherryblossom** » Tue 01 May 2012 9:17 am

Ahh thanks Looseboots.

LOL Soner, its because they posed the hosepipe ban. It hasn't stopped raining since! Sadly its taken all the blossom with it.

Marions you always make me smile

My forum name does what it says on the tin!

jimm127 · Post by **jimm127** » Tue 01 May 2012 1:47 pm

MIne is totally boring too, way back when villa owners was about I tried to register as Jimm (my middle name is James). There were loads of Jimms already and I just doodled till I got a number that was accepted and I have used jimm127 ever since.

flowerfairy · Post by **flowerfairy** » Tue 01 May 2012 6:32 pm

One of our friends calls Dipkarpaz 'Dippers' - [Are you in Dippers at the moment Eva??]
Well, there you are, not very imaginative.

dippersgirl · Post by **dippersgirl** » Mon 20 Aug 2012 1:07 pm

And the Chickenhead - it's from one of my husbands drawings and I like all things 'chicken'. Kept chickens in England and soon going to have some here.

BEE = B = 1st letter of our surname

Nothin too exotic really!
