When I went to secondary school there were 5 Janes in my year. All the others had middle names so were called Jane (middle name). I don't have a middle name so they used my last initial instead. This was slightly complicated by the fact that two of the others had the same last initial. So I was called JanieB. When some of my friends started learning German it was changed to YanieB, and some of them still call me that.
When I married, my husband had the same last initial so my nickname stayed the same.
Since getting an allotment last year, I appear as Lottieholder on other fora. I don't know if it's possible to change my nickname on this site but Lottieholder seems more appropriate somehow.
