Why did you choose your Rootschat name?
« on: Friday 07 January 05 21:58 GMT (UK) »
I'm just being curious ....my Mum would say nosey!!

How or why did you choose your Rootschat profile name??  (Promise not to tell  :-X....... ;D)

I ended up with my cat's name as I couldn't have my own name (can't remember if it was already "claimed" or if I entered something wrong.....quite possible with me!)

It does make me smile when I see some of the names here...I end up trying to imagine what that person is like!

The only name I can understand why it was chosen (other than those that appear to use their own names ofcourse) is GRACELAND.....obviously not because you're an Ozzy Osbourne or Charlotte Church fan Graceland!!! (No offence to those who might be  ;D)

So please satisfy the curiosity that killed the cat!

It's a nickname I gained a few years ago at work...can never remember the name of the book (letting myself down there! ::) ) but I was 'Lord Emsworth' for a while and it eventually became Emsworthy. :)

The second part is a hangover from my student days.  The first part is because I have two teenage sons who are 10 -12 inches taller than I am and there are occasions when I feel distinctly small as a result! ;)

hi everyone,

Sorry to be a bore, but I seem to have little imagination, so I just chose my first two initials.  'Caroline W'. I cannot divulge my second name, my mum thinks it's a lovely name but unfortunately I am unable to share her enthusiasm :'(

My children are also sworn to secrecy about my name, although sometimes they think it hilarious to announce it when I least expect it :-[
