Angels4 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Recently I started a poll called "Boys vs Girls." Through this poll I found that most thought I was female (because of my forum name). Now I'm curious. Why did you choose your particular forum name? I chose mine, because the name I originally wanted was being used. I chose angels4 because I was getting 4 girls and my sister thought it would be cute. Anybody else care to share. Now, I'm interested in your avatar and why you chose it. I chose mine because I LOVE "Foghorn Leghorn" and I thought he was cute in his Farmer Jeans.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I was looking for a chicken-related phrase on the internet to use as my forum name and this one grabbed me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Liked the word Eglantine. It occurred to me that I could be ever so clever and have the word Eglu incorporated into the name so became Egluntine, although lots of people call me Eglu-tine. I wish I'd spelled it Egluntyne now though, as in my head I pronounce the last syllable Tyne and not Teen. To late now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ange1 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I wanted 'Angel'as it's a name I get called, don't know why?! That name was taken so I tried to make it still read Angel by putting 'Ange1'! Didn't work really as I know some call me Ange! I don't mind! Dianne A, if you do change your name, please don't change your photo, I wont be able to recognise you!

lizinsa Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I wish I'd spelled it Egluntyne now though, as in my head I pronounce the last syllable Tyne and not Teen In my head I always pronounce it Egluteen but now we've all been corrected! My name is Elizabeth/Liz/Lizzy/Betsie/etc so got 'liz' because it's short and the 'in s. a.' bit was when I was on my gapyear in South Africa and it has stuck as a username, although everyone now thinks my name is Lindsay so another name I now respond to!!! I must admit I recognise people by their pictures more than their name but it's interesting to see where everyone's name comes from as online usernames are often the first chance people get to name themselves rather than their parents!

Egluntyne Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 The funny thing I find is that when other I meet Omleteers, I can't get used to their real names...I can only think of them in terms of their forum names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Never had any nick names before so tried to be clever and make mine a pun on the 'owl' in my surname Couldn't decide whether to be Snowy or Tawny (OH suggested Barn ) but as I'd just gone blonde thought Snowy was more apt I love hearing where everyones names have come from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
