Usernames

[Trinket12]

How do you change your username? I wanted to change it at Christmas and couldn't figure out how everyone had done it

 

[J&S]

Mine is so boringly predictable it's hardly worth mentioning: J for my name and S for Spottie the pony's name! I did actually try to change it but it didn't work so that's it for me!

For Christmas you have to ask for it to be changed in the Christmas name change thread in Feedback, suggestions and Queries section on the Forum

 

[Love]

Mine was supposed to be Love Catchie - Catchie being what I called my first pony (Catchphrase) for short. Not sure what happened to the “Catchie” part when I made my account but got stuck with just “Love”..... quite funny as I’m from Yorkshire so used to people calling me love!

 

[Caol Ila]

I've never changed mine. Caol Ila is one of my favourite whiskys.

 

[Chinchilla]

Cortez was a Spanish horse that I absolutely adored, a rescue from a very bad situation, and the one I couldn't ultimately save. He's gone many years now (that's not him in my avatar; he's another rescue that I did save and still here going strong at 19 years old ). I think about Cortez every day...View attachment 44956

I've never changed my name either.

That's wonderful. I knew you had, and really admired, your Spanish horses, but I didn't realise you'd rescued them. That is truly fabulous and that grey is stunning - very much a credit to you ?

 

[Lois Lame]

i always read yours as ann again

I read it as Anna Again. I like it.

My name is from a story I am writing.

(I've never changed my user-name. I've only been here for a relatively short time.)

 

[Skib]

I tried and apparently failed to post a pic of Skib.

Why thank you - although I can't take credit for it.

 

[HufflyPuffly]

Mine used to be my real name, then on the last Christmas names thread I changed it to this in honor of the fluffy interloper.

 

[Blanche]

Mine is the name of the car I owned at the time I joined. I had tried various other user names but they wouldn't allow/ were in use, though I have no idea now what they were. In a last ditch attempt I chose my cars name.

Jessica1992, as Love was last seen on Monday, it would be worth sending her a PM.

 

[Jessica1992]

I have done but nothing yet, i just thought this might be a quicker way ??‍

 

[Pearlsasinger]

I always thought your name was from the Elkie Brooks song.

Well yes, it was. EB came from S. Yorks and as I said the vendor owned nightclubs in S. Yorks. I would have just been Pearl but that name and Pearlygirly, which is what we often called her, had both been taken, so as she was named for the song, that's what I decided to have as my user name - admittedly a bit conoluted but our names often are. My tabby (striped) cat was Melanie (Melony)

 

[ponynutz]

Forgetting my password mainly lol

 

[Reacher]

When I joined 2008, I mostly thought about using one of my dog's, or cat's, names as username, but I hesitated because I wasn't sure if I would want to continue to use it after that they're gone. Then I realised that I felt certain that I would want to own more Finnish Lapphunds, so I just wrote that without a space between the words.

In my head you live in Finland or possibly Sweden and as I am unable to unremember this, you will henceforth, in my head, continue to live in Finland/Sweden

 

[Reacher]

I think I was originally Khami , who was my horse of a lifetime.

As i’d lost Khami I became Reacher because (I’m an American badass) I was working my way through a large bag of Reacher books.

there's a button for it in the reply box

next to the underline one

 

[Gingerwitch]

Gingerwitch Was The nickname for my best hunter. Given to her one day by my
Then best ridding buddy Sam. We took a jump and the world stood still and I looked down on Sam on her huge horse. When we finally got our breath back she announced that I looked like a Gingerwitch as I was so high. It stuck. I sadly no longer have my Gingerwitch and I miss her so much. I still have Sam as a friend but she has given up riding now. So sad as we had some amazing times on horse back.

 

[mini_b]

i always read yours as ann again

yeah me too, “oh no it’s Ann again!” ?

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

I used to be zzClaire. I used to work in IT and we put zz in front of someone's name in the outlook directory after they left and before it was deleted. It made the name drop to the bottom of any alphabetical sorting.

When I got a horse I wanted to put him in my username. He's big and orange. OrangeHorse was already taken so I chose OrangeAndLemon because I like the nursery rhyme.

 

[Cloball]

I was cloball originally from then changed to clobellsandbaubles but forgot my password after taking a break. Back to cloball it was... It is what my dad calls me ?

 

[buddylove]

Never changed my name, Buddy Love is my (now elderley) Jack Russell who was named after the character in The Nutty Professor.

 

[sunnyone]

I've never changed mine. When I set my name up my mare's proper name was Sundew Wonder, hence Sunny + one as Won or Wun would have just been silly!

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Mine is my cat who I got ‘free to a good home’ in my 2nd year at Liverpool (3rd year was abroad, my parents weren’t thrilled, but secretly loved him!) He was extremely pretty. It’s my only username since I joined.

 

[PurBee]

I hate picking usernames so often rattle off a mishmash of words that have an extremely vague link to my identity, so vague i never remember logins and am thankful the computer does that bit for me ?

 

[Rosemary28]

Mine is my name (Sunday name, I usually go by a shorter version!) and the day of my birthday. Only changed at Christmas to include the name of my pony.

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

Mine is kind of self explanatory..

 

[Leo Walker]

I used to be Frankiecob, and then sadly I lost him and changed it to LeoWalker who was the pony I then had. Hes retired now. I am going to change it again, but this time I'm not going to use a horses name as it always catches me up a bit short when someone refers to me as Leo. He was very, very special to me and I miss him every day
