What's In A Name?

[Flummery]

Another boring one, my names Bren and I'm growing my veg in pots, as well as buckets, troughs and anything else I can find.

And infinitely better than Bren in buckets!

[Bren In Pots]

hahahaha Flumm I nearly went with 'bucket head' but chickened out at the last minute

Lucky you didn't opt for Kiki de Bucket...

Sorry.

[Winged one]

I don't think I've explained myself here yet. I started on forums when I was a hockey goalkeeper, and decided to refer to my club (winged sandals god, can never remember was he Greek or Roman), and be cocky about my skills at the same time (all keepers have a bit of a God complex, but I usually only let it out when talking to other keepers).

Then I joined a parenting forum, but at the time I was doing a lot of travelling, so Winged One still seemed appropriate.

And now I just seem to have adopted it for any forum that I join (I can't guarantee that all WO's that you meet are me, but I have certainly joined a few in my time, not active on most though). I do love looking at the robin following me around the garden though, and the magpies and crows up on the plot, so it's still not a bad handle (I used to watch birds when I was a tiddler, sitting in the boot of dad's then defunct Ford Zephyr in the back garden, with the lid pulled down and watching the trees behind the house for hours, so I guess it was a good idea from way way back).

[Naturesbane]

My username came about after ALL of my plants passed away.

I am determined to be successful at growing something

[Armorel]

I live on the Isles of Scilly, the setting for Sir Walter Besant's novel "Armorel of Lyonesse" Although, strictly speaking, she lived on Samson which is now uninhabited

Armorel

[Matt.]

Well mines a boring reason and I think at the time I hadn't realised how imaginative most people are choosing names. In hindsight I should have picked Windy Miller but the avatar makes up for that. Also given the alarming regularity my plot seems to flood maybe Capatin Nemo would be more appropriate!!

[winolover]

i'm called Winolover, because i like my red wine !! i only have a glass a night, but it's nice with my evenng meal. I also like to brew my own. everyone from work always likes to try what i've made. pretty boring really .

[workhorse]

Why the name Workhorse, well, I'm just that. Can't bare sitting around, must be doing something, so Workhorse seemed just the ticket.

[dexterdoglancashire]

How did you get your GYO name?

Sorry guys, I know there was a thread earlier about this, but I couldn't find it, and I thought with all the new members and all..........How did you decide on your Vine name?

Answers on a postcard to................................

DexterDogLancashire - or DDL for short - simply because Dexter is my dog and we live in Lancashire! Simple! (Like what we are!)

What about everyone else, especially all the newer members to the Vine?

Bernie aka DDL

[beefy]

Nickname that I had at school. Never really lost the weight either.

[crichmond]

crichmond cos its my name ie chris richmond

[dexterdoglancashire]

How goes it in Morecambe Chris? Did you only pose for your photo or was it part of a whole "shoot" of pictures? LOL Bernie aka DDL

[terrier]

As I think I said on the other thread, it's probably something to do with my avatar I use Terrier as my standard login on any forum I use and my passwords always follow the same pattern so that the are easy to remember.

[crichmond]

nah didnt pose one of my mates took the picture when we were out one night, but as I am out most nights it seemed very apt, when I say out most nights I only just got back in..lol
