To add to to the Piggy's and the Wiggy's I now see that Danial Leech has changed his name to 'Gubby Leech'. Love it! Anyone else know of interesting names??
Wiggy, which believe it or not is 100x better than her real name! Bumble Thomas.
anyone remember Tinks Pottinger? can't think of an others.
i don't think it's a public school thing, i think it's usually a family nickname thing. good job no-one knows mine...
oh, i forgot to add, Pippa Funnell was called Phillippa at the Athens Olympics, a gold spangly star to anyone who remembers why...!

OH calls me Chunky but I don't think that has any public school/family nickname reasoning behind it.
Maybe I should try my own versions of the famous ones:
Nicka (Pippa)
Tumble (Bumble)
Stiggy (Wiggy, Piggy)
Nor (Tor)
Don't know if this is right, but before Clea married Vere (Phillips??) was her surname Mudd? so something like Clea Mudd - she had a double barrel name though begining with H, but can't remember 100%?!? Someone help me out..
oh yes, i remember now, oops, sorry. knew i knew the name from somewhere.
btw, not all event riders do this, one i happen to know rejoices in a very odd family name, but doesn't use it to event!
