BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I chose Bilborough as the first part of my login name because that is where I grew up. I was very happy living there as a child and a teenager. Great memories. I had good friends who lived in Wollaton. The parents of one friend looked down their noses at me because I came from a council estate. This never upset me or got in the way of our friendship, I just ignored their comments and stayed true to my home district. I think these days my way of dealing with their snobbery would be described as "passive aggression"! It worked for me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,729 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Mine is pretty obvious I think.... The last, and probably the only half interesting thing I did in Nottm was to DJ at the 360 Club. It's all been downhill since.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OrphanAnnie 296 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I always wanted to be an orphan when I was young, because you got to go on the Sunday School outings for free! I also read a lot of Enid Blyton books about adventures at boarding schools and was sure that if I were an orphan I would be sent there. My middle name is Ann and after my parents passed away I used to remind my elder sister I'm now an orphan, and my nickname of Orphan Annie came about. Of course the reality is it is not that great........ 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,644 Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 A problem with changing your name here is that the references to your original name in the forum text will become meaningless/anonymous Quote Link to post Share on other sites
