    Mine is wingobins because the kids call me bingo wings but my youngest couldn't say it at the time and called me wingobins! :D

    BlueBella...I imagine your name is Bella and you're from Avatar? :D (only joking!)

    I'm StrayCat because when Loquax announced they'd stopped listing and I came over here it's just how I felt, like a Stray Cat, no home and wondering from competition site to competition site trying to find a place to fit in :o

  • When i first came to MSE i was deep in the 'brown stuff' but had my hea din the sand and never faced upto my problems.

    MSE saved me (hallaluha, praise the lord etc :D) and even made me better- hence my name.

    I often get called BLT though, as in the sarnie:o

    Bluebella sounds like a !!!!!! name to me ;);) haha!
    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(

    Mine is quite obviously my name but as in imagining the owner of other usernames, I think of weeowens (who has supplied me with quite a few nice wins, so no offence intended), as a gentleman from Scotland of small stature that wears a kilt.
    I am probably completely of the mark, and they are a 6 foot lady, but the name invokes the above for me

    Lakshmi7, because I worked in a hospital with lots of ethnicities, I have 2 friends named Lakshmi who are both from Goa, so I imagine her to be an Asian lady covered in beautiful jewels xx
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

    It is great reading how people chose their names! BlueBella sounds !!!!!! lol - no I'm just a little flower and I am shy so I suppose I bow my head like a little bluebell flower!

    I actually just bought a jumper with 'I never finish anything' - as soon as I saw it I knew it was for me! I am one of those people full of good intentions and start new projects but never finish them! Another side of my personality!

    I misread weeowens as weeovens when I first joined and always thought of him as a wee little oven baking fresh baps in Scotland (yes I am mad!)
