  • Mine stems from when I lived at home and got bought some hair crimpers for christmas (gotta love the 80's style :p) I came downstairs and my Dad said 'Ey up, here comes Crystal tips' The very first time I needed to set up a user name for something, it was the only name I could think of (and the original spelling was already taken so I had to improvise...) I have used the same name for most things now for the last 7 years :D

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I KNOW it made sense to me at the time,( I may have had a few sherberts.)
    But now I just like it.

  • My family have always called me a cheapskate as i have always bargained for some/anything freebie when buying something, whereas my DH gets too embarressed. So i suppose it was just the most natural name for me.

    My dad used to call me a freak and I called him an ogre (actually we still call each other these :p - and yes, we do get on ;)) so combined it became freakyogre.

  • This was the first website I ever signed up for. In fact it was just when I got a computer. The instructions for choosing a username was for instance your favourite place, favourite annimal and favourite colour. So there you have it.
