How did you and hello

[The-Bookworm]

My first thread and first post.

Thought I would break the ice and ask a silly question.
How did you come to choose your username?
Mine is because I love books and not because I love worms.

I have a little cob and we enjoy hacking which may or may not include the pub and picnics. She loves people and today's Boxing Day ride included stopping to let children fuss her.

 

[MrsMozart]

Hello and welcome Love your user name.

Mine is a play on my love of music.

 

[Red-1]

Mine (when not in Christmas guise) was the start of my email address. TBH I did not realise it was a username when I set it, thought it was to log in or something.

 

[only_me]

Cos it’s only me 😜

 

[Lintel]

Mine is because I looked at the laptop I was using and the label said " intel " - the processor.

Im Linda so I stuck an L in front of it and now I have Lintel!

It was originally so I had a email address that wasn't taken and did not require extreme amounts numbers... It's just kind of stuck now!

 

[Meredith]

It was from a phrase that my Dad often said.
And, Hi.

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Hello there.

I had a Clydesdale called Pearl at the time, she came from South Yorkshire like Elkie Brookes, her previous owner ran rather dodgy nightclubs and the other obvious Pearl names had been taken. Now, of course, my username is in its Christmas incarnation.

 

[Rumtytum]

Hello from a fellow bookworm, yes I too read them not eat them
What a lovely thread you've started!
Name is in honour of 'my' riding school horse, a Welsh Sectioned D, who lives to expand his waistline.

 

[Theocat]

Hello!

Mine is the name of a former pet

 

[rabatsa]

Hi, my username is the name of a horse I had at the time of joining the forum.

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

Hi, mine is down to owning some rather fuzzy (hairy) furries (equines)

 

[AmieeT]

I had sudden moment of creativity! 😂

 

[Shady]

Hello and welcome!
My horse is called Shadow so i nicked a bit of it for myself

 

[Yokosmom]

Kind of boring, but I have cat named Yoko.

 

[Carrottom]

Hi there. I can't really remember, probably what I needed to remember to buy that day.

 

[millikins]

Hello. Mine is an affectionate pet name for our first pony.

 

[Snitch]

Hello!

My user name originated from being called a snitch, in jest, at about the time I joined the forum.

PS: You may see a few headscarves on profile pics around here.... it’s a joke from another thread. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I look nothing like my profile pic!

 

[MotherOfChickens]

Hello

I can't remember when I chose this username but it was after being on here for years. Its a play on Mother Of Dragons from Game Of Thrones-my OH got me a mug with it for my birthday as I was into breeding chickens at the time and the utility room was full of chicks lol. I don't breed chickens any more-I breed ducks, maybe I should change it to MotherDucker instead

 

[blitznbobs]

Hello

My user name is what I’m going to call my two scurry ponies when I finally give up riding ‘blitz’ and ‘bob’ - in my fantasy they are matching grey (white) ponies and totally nuts...

My avatar is our 40+year old Shetland pony with a tea towel on her head because we’re too poor to afford headscarves in our household but still want to be a member of the ‘in crowd’😂

How do you change your user name? Do you actually have two user names and use this one around Christmas time?

 

[poiuytrewq]

Hey, I chose my user name out of temper 😂🤭
I had an older account that I just couldn’t sign into one day, years ago for some reason so just decided to set up a new account,I tried so many new user names that I actually wanted and all were taken so I punched in the top line and surprise surprise it was available. I took it meaning to change it later but never did! I really should, it’s rubbish!

Pearlsasinger, it only dawned on me one day what your name actually was!! I used to pronounce it in my head as Pearl sasinjer 😂
Obvious once I’d realised

Nooo, I have tried several times to pronounce your user name. Never thought to see it was the top line of the keyboard backwards!!!

ETA I thought you were welsh. I tried to pronounce poiuytrewq is a welsh accent!!!

There was a thread from TFC asking for people to say if they want an Xmas name change. There will be another thread in January where you request to change it back. I do hope I don't miss it so I have to be red nose all year

Fatty does warn us that if someone takes our usual user name whilst we are inhabiting our Xmas personas then we will lose our normal user name.

Oh Snitch that's so disappointing you don't look like your profile pic. I look like mine, got the tache/beard because of you.

 

[Meredith]

Red-Nose,
You know it is pronounced
po-eye-ewe-ee-tree-double-you-queue
😂

Not in my head. It was more poiuytrewq = Po-eye-yoi-tree-wreck.

 

[Meredith]

Perhaps we both have a slight touch of alcohol induced Christmas dyslexia

Truth be told, I’ve actually got grey hair rather than green hair. I photoshopped my profile photo (bad Snitch).
So, I’ve just taken a selfie......
(sorry about the red-eye, my camera is rubbish).
