Cooks Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 my Granddad used to call me Loopy loo so it's my nickname I guess and as he's no longer with us it's a nice way to remember him by. My Name is Lynsey by the way not Louise which a lot of people think.. not that I mind Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Licken Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Chicken Licken was a character in a children's book that mum used to read to us as children. I think the story also had cocky - locky and ducky - lucky and the sky was falling in!! Here it is for anyone who is not familiar....http://fairytales4u.com/story/chicken.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzle Knit Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 My children were asking me to tell them the WORST swear word in the world - I plucked something out of the air, which happened to be fizzlewhit (they believed me for all of 2 seconds). Then I joined Ravelry which is a knitting site and was trying to think of something knitty as a user name and thought of Fizzle Knit. Then I joined this site, failed to think of anything henny, so decided to stick at Fizzle Knit. (Although maybe I should have used FRIZZLE Knit?)

Yorkshire Pudding Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I had a senior moment and couldn't think of anything, so named myself after my chooks. Wish I'd thought of something more original, but there it is... I like 'fizzlewhit', btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Mine's my name and I was totally lacking inspiration when I joined the forum.

Plum Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I used to read the beano (until my husband cancelled it because the newsagent thought it was for him). So hes always called me plum after little plum. Anagram of plum is lump, leave me out in the sun and I turn into a prune,........his jokes go on.

Mumpty Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Liked the word Eglantine. 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. I've always pronouned it Egluntyne because that's the name of the charachter in Bedk"Ooops, word censored!"s and Broomsticks, when I see your name, I sing the little song, Egluntine, Egluntine - don't know the rest. Mumpty is what my children call me. My daughter had a school sweatshirt made with her knickname on it and I wanted one too, so they printed one for me with a small photo of the kids on the front and 'Mumpty' printed on the back, I proudly wear it out!

Angels4 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 I chose mine, because the name I originally wanted was being used. What name did you originally want? Ahhh...Originally I wanted Thumper. This has been my nickname since long before I was born. Apparently while mom was pregnant with me I would thump all the way across her belly, when my dad would get home he would always ask "How's Thumper today?" My parents were sure I would be a football star, but he got a hairdresser instead. He's soooooo proud! I didn't start using Thumper myself until I started working for a particular boss who's name also happened to be Mark, so to eliminate any confusion I was asked if I had any other names I could go by.
