lashes2508 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 My daughter and i were watching America Next top model and twiggy was referring to howshe got her nickname and how much that launched her career, she asked the models to rename themselves and to give them selves a superself name. Got to wondering as the majority of us use nicknames on here - what the meaning is behind them /how we came up with them - or maybe we could have a guess at each others :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyPancakes Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Ha! I always wonder about yours Lashes. If it's 'lashes' for batting, or beating? As for me, Honey Pancakes for breakfast are the one thing that has kept 'em coming back for five years now. H 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I play an online version of Lord of the Rings - being a bit of a fan of Tolkien's work (although the films were good too). My first and favourite character is a hobbit called Lucyanna, since all my online friends call me Lucy, Lucyhobbit seemed a natural nickname.

Scarlettangel Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 My fsf name is a combination of things really. I love the colour red! I ALWAYS wanted to change my name to Scarlett. . . . Ever since I first watched Gone With the Wind. I know she is bratty and spoilt and hopefully not at all like me (!!) but she is feisty and spirited and strong! I like angels and I had a friend who said I was their angel. So I just combined Scarlett and angel Not really very exciting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Not really very exciting! Better than being named after a woman who bumbles her way through each day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) I had the standard curly perm in the 70's and when I walked in the pub my boyfriend said "and who knitted you woollyed?" it has stuck ever since. Can't believe I married him! Now gets shortened to Wool or Woolly Edited April 7, 2012 by woolly1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyjenkinz Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 It's taken me a while to track down the album where my name came from...I used to work in an independent record shop and they were playing an album by a guy called Neal Casal (country type music) there was a song on the album called "The New Jenny Jenkins" and one of my colleagues started to call me Jenny Jenkins (my first name is Jenny) and it just kind of stuck. I've even had friends for many years who were shocked to discover that Jenkinz is not my real surname! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I've even had friends for many years who were shocked to discover that Jenkinz is not my real surname! My son went to secondary school with a lad named Glynn. I always called him Glynn but much later found out his name was James Glynn! My uncles have the wrong names, Uncle Harry's name is James, Uncle Bob's name is William and Uncle Micky's is David. :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lashes2508 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 thanks to all who have replied - amazing where theses name come from - I recently changed my social networking name to a childhood one that my family still use, i love it and not sure why i never used it all the time . The real reason for using it was because my ex husband married a girl with exactly the same name and it was not fair to have 2 of us !!being as i still use my married name 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
