I just love snowdrops so galanthus is my username of choice for most things. I love Lilllies too, however, my real name is Lily so that was too obvious. My partner thinks it should be pest. |

I can't visualise you as Enchanter. How about a photo in the members gallery?

I'm really Karen and only a few family members call me Kaz but I like the sound of it so it follows me around the forums

Mine's quite boring I'm afraid. It's a username I was allocated on a computer system at work. First six letters of my surname plus initial plus a number to make it unique (I never found out who got pressld1). I've used it regularly ever since.
Being a big Who fan I nearly picked "Helpless Dancer" and rather wish I had since Dr Jimmy joined. Is it possible to change it without re-joining?

Gandalf Many, many years, before they made a movie of the book, but rather obvious now.

Sarah | you're not supposed to really as it creates work for the admin team and also screws up your post count - the few people who have been born again either were allowed to do it for good reasons , in whichcase they pm'd stu and asked or they just left and joined again later
why ? do you not like being sparkly

Mine pre-dates the internet. Friends gave it to me when I got involved in publishing for a while. It stuck, so much so that the dog we had for 15 years would come and find me if someone said 'where's Words?'. He never got the hang of my real name. I use it for consistency around the web, but it's frequently already taken which can be a bits of pain. |

I have been amazed by how some of the names have come about

I decided to abbreviate mine from its normal format which is actually Empress Clanger Dropper
The clanger bit came about as a) I am a Clangers fan and b) I am very good a dropping them. The Empress bit came about via a friend in the USA who used to run a forum based around the Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood.
So please feel free to call me Clanger, Clangy, Empy or just plain old Angie |
