Natives from my part of Kent are called 'Swampies', which most locals normally consider an objectionable term of derision. However, I take perverse pride in the name, so it virtually chose itself!

Tabitha always makes me think of Bewitched but that just shows my age!

I love guessing who is male & who is female!  Having a sexless name on here is fine because (I hope) we are all here for the right reason.  It could be dangerous elsewhere though.

( Clue: it's not a very common hairstyle, among females !!)
